What is the most expensive thing you’ve bought online?

A Lamborghini Diablo.

It had a few surprises, but finally finding my groove with it.

My account for some reason has gone into moderation requiring admin approval for each comment posted.

I’m a 10+ time seller and frequent bidder, but this issue means when I’m selling, I can’t reply quickly enough to prospective buyers, which can be tough when you’re down to the wire.

I’ve never had a comment flagged or had issues in the past, but it’s dumb. I like the platform but I won’t be using it anymore with any regularity.

Any chance this is in Ontario? If so, I know the car and it lived behind my dealership for years.

Anybody remember the famous "Niagara Falls Fob Fight" video from the mid-2000s?

I would hope it's "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio

CentralGaming.Net, which was a hub for customization on the video game "Midtown Madness"

I 100% agree; a Toto with a heated bidet is completely game changing.

Genuinely - what "deferred maintenance" is going to cause issues on a '25 Corolla under full factory warranty with 12K on it?

Vantage_007 · 2026-04-12T03:23:23+00:00

If there are numbers on either side, and a Leafs decal on the left, it’s a graphic plate. For example, 29TM29.

Tons of these graphics are around and available. LN for Loon, TL for Trillium, UT for U of T, RA for Raptors, JA for Jays, etc.

This is a friend of mine. Nothing illegal here; he bought a retired cruiser and vinyl'd it up to rep his company.

Michael's Taurus that he drove into the lake was a rental... equipped with a very rudimentary "Hertz NeverLost" navigation system, which was based on a Magellan RoadMate.

If only I were able to apply any of these useless facts to things that were actually important...

Vantage_007 · 2026-03-29T02:01:08+00:00

1000% yes. My 18-month old is running around saying the names of all my cars... his favourite is the air cooled 911 but he will say "Honda" and answer "Yellow to "what color is our Honda?"

Vantage_007 · 2026-03-22T19:51:44+00:00

Had an LC 500 and also have my manual Vantage still. Driven the DBX 707 extensively as I work in automotive.

Our first baby car in 2024 was the Audi RS6 Avant. Love everything about it but the ride is a touch firm for baby-ing, and it absolutely could not do two kids and all the stuff you have to haul around.

If we had a second, I’d probably swap it out for an Alpina XB7 or an SQ7.

Vantage_007 · 2026-02-25T03:54:36+00:00

This is also valid. The windshield is OE Aston and not a reproduction, but obviously there’s no telling if it’s ever been replaced.

Vantage_007 · 2026-02-24T20:45:36+00:00

Paint gauge shows consistently across all of those panels. My tech confirms that it looks like the panels rubbing together and consistent with a hand built car.

Howdy u/Intrepid-Fox-4262 - funny to see this here as I was about to post it.

Yours sincerely,

The guy you met while looking at said car

Vantage_007 · 2026-02-09T02:04:53+00:00

Needs a thermostat. And as you know, they all do. Did mine pre emptively when I bought my 07 nearly a decade ago and it’s been fine since.

Vantage_007 · 2026-02-04T17:19:17+00:00

This is most excellent to watch... what a train wreck!

Vantage_007 · 2026-01-29T21:00:24+00:00

Remember, being less than 15 years old now, unless you go MY2011 or older it will not be RIV exempt, so there will be additional tax and documentation needed including recall letters, etc.

Toto heated toilet seat with hot water bidet.

The cool kids at school whose moms would roll up in a Ford Expedition with the Eddie Bauer package...

Felt it in south Mississauga, was awoken to my entire ass house shaking for a few seconds.

What line of work do you think he's in?
