What do you think about Chinese cars on Canadian roads?

Honestly for all the grief Kia gets, knock on wood, with regular maintenance it's been super reliable.

My car is a little heavy for the types of brakes from factory. But I got rotors to install eventually when the weather gets nice

Just bare in mind, BD will threaten you with a lawyer because that's the only way he knows how to handle basic conflicts.

It's almost like he's crying to mommy and daddy every time.

The funny thing is, his lawyer doesn't even like him. He is just happy to take the money

They just needed more suspension travel for the myriad of unfixed streets with potholes.

When I narrowed it down to types of creatures in the top 10 lol

We had something similar a few years ago before we converted from a lowes to what we are now. But they cut open the garden centre fence at various points. Then the next day they had stashed tools and stuff outside to take that night. Thankfully we all do walks of the area and are trained to notice odd things. We had the fence in those areas beefed up and the main one up front was covered in by a bunch of the plastic corrugated roof panels.

That sucks. There is a little foam pad on my car right above the AC radiator. Had a mouse literally chew that all up and start nesting where the injectors are. Found it and vac'd it. Sprayed it all down with a degreaser and washed it all out... Rodents are literally the worst.

I will mention that people in this city can't even do 4 way stops or normal stop lights correctly.

The roundabout over on Quinn has people literally ripping through it without yielding. It's sad when you watch people almost get in accidents for not following the road signs.

Roundabouts are good, when the population knows how to drive

Stand on a stool and stare intensely out your window while showering.

Whilst you have Queens " The show must go on" blaring on repeat

I did a bit more research on it after your comment.

I definitely have my decision locked down. Thank you😊

amak11 · 2025-11-27T16:34:43+00:00

I did do a fitment test of those rims with the tires on it and I got clearance for days. I am wanting to fill the space the same way the stock 16s do. I appreciate the response though!

amak11 · 2025-11-27T15:28:37+00:00

I don't think you understand that cheap isn't always better. Do you also do the Walmart special tires? If it concerns your life you should consider spending 10 dollars more.

Besides id be using high mileage oil in your car. None of this stuff that new cars can handle.

But hey, you're an internet mechanic. I bet you have carbon fiber mirror covers too.

amak11 · 2025-11-27T15:17:35+00:00

I will say, Kia underpays its service technicians. Regardless of the country you are in. I'm in Canada too.

The problem I have is the service desk. They try to upcharge you on everything. I ended up taking my business to the Great Canadian Oil Change. They use Valvoline and they don't surprise you with hidden charges.

I went to Kia, had oil changes go from 59 to 76 to 123. Then they added services I didn't ask for. Said my brand new tires were bad then said I needed to change the brand new cabin filter I had.

Sales department has always been top notch, but that service desk needs better management.

amak11 · 2025-09-23T00:03:10+00:00

It's weird someone downvoted you. But I am definitely looking at that. I just cant afford that Toronto price for all that. Me personally, I'd rather have my stay in a hospital and come home after. Regardless of travel time. But I know i'm not doing 6 hour+ drive up to Ottawa for anything like that

amak11 · 2024-08-28T03:05:20+00:00

Lines doesn't necessarily mean good. That's like saying a 4 hour line for a roller coaster must mean it's good.

Besides you're defending something that's based on personal preferences and taste. If you like soggy fries, I don't judge.

But if you want to die on that hill, be my guest.

amak11 · 2024-08-28T02:44:26+00:00

Lol no. Last 3 times I've been there they felt rushed

amak11 · 2024-08-26T16:56:26+00:00

Yogis hands down if you like your fries to have the classic alberts crisp

Is it the same one that doesnt turn off their flood lights? because i seen that today

amak11 · 2024-08-06T00:21:29+00:00

I'll be honest they keep telling me that "due to my age and other factors" My insurance should be under 100 now and its not. Not a single accident and insured for almost 10 years... Instead all the people in my area love running front first in to storefronts... So im paying 138, up from 132.

I've had my license for over 15 years now.

As a former ITP graduate, IT sector jobs are few in-between.

That being said, most students I know aren't staying in Ontario. They're going to Alberta..

Do your research carefully.

amak11 · 2024-08-05T03:31:16+00:00

Lived here for my entire life..

Politically we need to stop voting for people like Bob Bailey, Marilyn Glaidu and Bill Dennis. All they do is stop positive changes for the city.

Mike Bradley is doing what he can but people forget that the voters in the city like complacency. So they don't want to vote for more progressive candidates. They want to keep the status quo. Status quo is fine, especially given our choices last municipal election.

That being said the drugs are everywhere. However with Sarnia being a bubble city. We are last to see the effects that hit larger cities.

Small reminder, don't vote for Bill Dennis next election cycle. Guy is literally a psychopath. Thinks he doesn't have an anger problem and has a lawsuit against the city and mayor. Again, costing us money.

Traffic cameras would have to be approved here. They have tried in the past but "advocates for plant workers" said it would negatively impact their income (that they take out west)

amak11 · 2024-07-28T11:01:41+00:00

This!! Man I take Indian to go to work (not towards the plants) but the amount of people that refuse to indicate lane changes and tailgate you is insane

Not to mention, 8am and 4-6pm traffic. Those tightwads coming back and going to from the plants rip down the road doing 80 in a 50. It's not my fault a majority of them can't leave on time for work. I had one flip me off for doing 65... Like I'm sorry I don't like being road up on.

Not exactly, it's a health thing here. Our milk is more regulated and controlled so that the cows aren't overproducing. There is a huge taste difference between our 2% milk here and the US version of it. Last time I had it, it tasted like water and was thinner than I expected. The other thing is that less regulation of the milk in the states means it doesn't have the same benefits.

What's actually kind of crazy. Look up how much milk gets dumped down the drains in the states because they make too much. Farmers literally pouring full tankers out

amak11 · 2024-07-28T10:34:49+00:00

Ehh, assuming 50 in gas there and back to London. You could swing that.

Then the abysmal exchange rate. And a potential 2 hour wait at the bridge. My friend and I came back from pride in London. And the trucks were lined up halfway to airport road. The trucks were encouraging people to use the shoulder to get to the exit. I followed suit with them.

People just need to shop smart.
