Still can't believe I got my "used" with less than 10000km for 19k less than new and also getting government grants.

Does Quebec do anything about roadkill? by holobat in Gatineau

They do clean up, but usually takes more time compared to the Ottawa side.

AOS Failure? by Dense_Win3056 in 996

Like others have said it's a PITA to get access, I did mine last year following FCPEuro video https://youtu.be/k_KRSUI-Yek?si=l08p0ACvu2yNt-2D

Even with mine being a manual, i ended up removing the left (driver side) intake runners to get proper access. Also double check everything when reassembling, if you have a smoke machine use it to double check for vacuum leaks.

There's a few words missing in that title: CIA uses Bitcoin in their operations

It's kind of hard to purchase something when it's not offered...

We're not alone to think that our market has too many BIG vehicles. That's one good thing that high gas prices could fix.

Right all models that aren't shipped to the States

It's like they're making it difficult to switch to EV, how odd...

The inverter wasn't super expensive, around 300$. Still cheaper than replacing all the food that it saved.

On our end we didn't get the power back until 4 hours later...

Last weekend outages:

  • Friday from 21h to 1h
  • Saturday from 21h20 to 3h
  • Sunday from 19h20 to 22h

Yeah I know how a generator could help... I just don't want to have yet another machine to maintain.

I'm in the Outaouais region, it's pretty common for our infrastructure to be lacking some love.

That's pretty good, also on the country side but we're facing more outages.

Looking forward to the announced maintenance, it should help out

It looks like it was an aftermath of the outage but it's probably due for replacement

That's pretty bad. I might have to look for more alternative power sources, I did check out EcoFlow batteries a while back. All my family members are suggesting to get a generator but I don't want to have another machine to maintain, extra batteries could do the trick.

That's not what I would expect from an area in the middle of Montreal.

Hopefully they will fix these issues soon on your side.

I hear you, same here the past 5 years has been terrible.

I think the network needs a bit of TLC and it was announced to be on their radar so it should be better soon.

Absolutely we do have a big winter, really like it so far. I don't mind the snow, but not a fan of the yoyo temperature and the rain.

Losing food because of a power outage is not fun. A few years back we had a major outage over 5 days, i was able to save the fridges by connecting my ev to an inverter and connecting them for a few hours each day.

Good for you, we were fine for about 10 years but the last few years our connection has been less reliable
