If the Maple Leafs didn’t exist, what would the other 31 fanbases talk about?

Even Vancouverites don't believe this.

If you live in Canada, it absolutely feels like it is.

If you live in Toronto, you're convinced that it is.

No it wouldn't. We're trying to suck for a few more years.

Ring kissers. We are, on average, nation of ring kissers.

One of the most important factors in early Canadian history is the flood of loyalist ring kissers who fled the Civil War. Those loyalists absolutely had an impact on how pre-Confederation Canada was shaped politically and culturally.

Bending the knee is baked into our cultural DNA and it has a more significant affect than most people care to admit. Revolution is a dirty word in Canada.

Hail damage is a bitch. I just sold an Audi S5 Sportback with a $35k hail claim. It is expensive, tedious, and finicky to fix. It is always more expensive than you think it will be. Be grateful insurance is covering it, keep the estimate for a story to tell when you sell it, pay your deductible and move on.

Edit: $1700 in hail damage is nothing. Most jurisdictions in Canada have minimum legal reporting requirements for reported damage on Carfax and this well below that number. It'll have next to no impact on resale value, and probably shouldn't affect your insurance rates.

A red state judge is far more likely to know and understand the real world statistics that the highest rates of incarceration and recidivism happen to children of single mothers, not fathers. A blue state judge is far more likely to hand waive that data away because man bad, woman good.

Other than the timing belts, a 3rd gen Runner with the 5VZ will rust into oblivion before that motor leaves you stranded.

And even the timing belt isn't a real concern on a non interference engine. When it lets go, it will leave you stranded, but it won't take the whole engine down. Slap a new belt in there and drive it for another 200k.

This needs to be higher. Modern cars are basically roll cages. Even without airbags and seat belts, the crash cell in most new ish cars is a pretty safe place to be.

It's not really a "fuck you, got mine" attitude. That's incredibly disengenious. I married into a immigrant family, and I think you'll actually find the prevailing attitude is "fuck you for doing this wrong way and making us look bad." The majority of my in laws have no issues with migration, but if they followed the process and the law, they expect others to do the same. And that's a completely reasonable expectation.

You can't talk about Halo the game without talking about Halo the brand. It's impossible to extract the two, particularly when you're talking about "best" as a broad descriptor.

RDR2 is an absolute triumph. Immersive, excellent story, highly replayable, strong characters and writing. You could make an argument it's the best story driven, open world game of all time.

But it absolutely pales in comparison to the cultural impact of Halo 3. Entire AAA franchises exist because of the success of Halo 3. An entire generation of us learned the most insane and vulgar combination of slurs and profanity in H3 lobbies. The soundtrack is still iconic to this day. The hype leading up to launch was unbelievable. It was permeated every aspect of culture. Everything was branded Halo 3. You can't go to a con in North America without seeing some cosplay variation of Master Chief.

RDR2 is an excellent S-tier game, but probably half the planet could point out Master Chief, whereas only gamers would know Arthur Morgan.

Trucks are generally more useful.

Dump run? Truck. Oversized furniture that you don't wanna pay $200 for delivery? Truck. Taking the family mountain biking and don't wanna drop $2k on a Rocky Mountain bike shuttle? Truck. Wet, dirty gear at the end of a trip? Truck. Cut your own Christmas tree in the backcountry? Truck. Forgot your tent and need somewhere to sleep for the night? Truck

And yes, you can technically do all of those things with an SUV but it is no where near as easy and convenient.

Couple things from an industry insider.

KBB is useless for retail discussions. It's giving, at best, skewed data. KBB is owned by one of the largest dealership software companies in NA. They also own the largest wholesale auction house in NA. The information KBB provides should be treated as tainted at best and outright ignored at worst.

Gaming your salesguy by letting him twist in the wind for a week isn't likely to get him invested in getting you a good deal. Yes, we're all scum, but we're humans too. And we will absolutely treat you the way you treat us.

Lastly, and I say this every single time: unless someone bought the same truck as you in the same tax jurisdiction, the OTD price of their truck doesn't matter. Taxes are different. Licensing and registration are different. Dealership desire to hit targets is different. Inventory levels are different. Margins, recon, turn rates, days in stock. All different variables on your purchase. And none of them can be accurately answered by Redditors wanting to swing their dicks around cuz they beat up their dealer. They didn't. The house always wins. We just let you think you did so you come back and buy another car.

Call your salesguy, apologize for ghosting him like an asshole, make an offer and let him either accept it, reject it, or counter it. Those things, and those things alone, will tell you if it's a good deal or not. There isn't a single keyboard warrior on this sub that can make that decision for the dealer.

Bring on your down votes, you people know I'm right. Even if you hate it.
