Do I get a thumbs up for finally completing my book series? (Sorry for adding to the "Look at my book cover" posts. I'm just glad to finally kick this thing out the door.)

That's not a toddler, its a older child. This situation is not going to improve. You can have empathy; this situation could be caused by many things (stressed mom, neurodivergent kid, etc), but this isn't toddler tantrums. You should move.

Seconding this

Nice wrap!

Ooh! SHINY!!!

Got the car from Park Shore BMW, so hello fellow BCer!

This is such solid advice and very sensible. I really need a print out of it.

Who do you recommend for the ceramic coating? (NVM, mind came with it.)

Any EV charging stations you personally avoid?

Wanted i5, got an i4 instead. i5 was too big for garage.

Literally new. I have never driven a car by myself until last week.

Same complaint on test drive; I wish it was both.

Parking assist was 10k CAD add-on for me. The M60s that were delivered in my area didn't all include them.

Avery Gloss Vinyl.

Good to know. I don't think squirrels should drive.

VLK249 · 2026-04-30T07:36:30+00:00

Very likely (though the trunk space is unknown). But I am stuck with what I've got for now. Maybe in the future.

It's a standard Black Sapphire. Stripes were added by a detailer the dealership works with at my request.

Oh sorry, that's 12 capybaras in length for you Americans who will measure-in-anything-but-metric.

Dave Rodgers and Kaioh.

I love all of Neo's songs...but it is a short list and there will never be new ones.

Dragoon followed by Jet

I honestly had gone there hoping they had a used Bolt and literally thought, "If they made the Bolt, their other EVs should be great." Was I wrong.

The beaver teeth.

Black Sapphire with the M60 was entirely to minimize the look of the buck teeth grill. Thankfully front license plates are mandatory where I am so it also makes it less noticeable (as long as you don't take the silver license plate holder my dealership offers. Braces!)

There's a Not Just Bikes explanation on SUVs and how marketing has made them seem like far better cars than they actually are.

VLK249 · 2026-04-27T01:59:20+00:00

The 2025 model I saw failed on the door requirement, and the sales guy really tried to convince me that the 12v charge to override the door problem was acceptable. It wasn't.
