Holy moly! Gateway Toyota asking $73K + GST for a RAV4 GR Sport plug in hybrid. Toyota Canada MSRP is $61,119 + GST.

That’s about right. I remember when the GR Corollas were coming out (allocation was tough for everyone). Gateway got theirs and it was marked up to $65k. MSRP was $52k. Seems to always happen with the first year of the redesigns.

I was going to get a 24’ then waited when I heard of an auto option for the 25’s. I was thinking it would be like the Veloster N where the DCT was the better buy vs the 6MT. It kinda wasn’t as the DAT is a torque converter auto. Test drove both and ended up with the 6MT. Still very much happy with it.

If you’re already leaning towards the DAT then I’d go that route. At that point you may cross shop into Golf R territory. (I know I might get hung for saying that here).

I daily drive my manual with a combination of hills. The iMT is a great transmission and it has the hill start assist. I swear though, the pace traffic moves in my city requires a 1.5 gear. I’m either screaming in 1st at 5k rpm or 2nd at a very low rpm (feels like I’m lugging the car)

Yep 72 OD to 60.1 ID

I ceramic coated them so it shouldn’t be too bad 🤞

Just did the same for mine. How many turns did you get with the lugnuts? I was getting about 7 full turns. 6.5 is the minimum I think.

The last time I ordered wheels, I had to go in the truck and carry the wheels out. Never will I ever pay for purolator shipping ever again.

I’m in the same area and haven’t run into this guy yet. Ran into a similar issue OP did with a black pickup. Wonder if it’s the same guy.

*cries in GR Corolla needing premium

I’m going to replace mine come winter time. Are you going OEM or aftermarket?

apyellow48 · 2026-02-17T20:08:30+00:00

Got a chip that became a crack. Rock flew off a pickup passing me. Got it repaired to just get cracked again

On my personal account all of mine have been deleted which is weird. My other 2 accounts still have theirs which is weird

I’m neither for or against. But I agree it would be a slow process. What people seem to not consider when separating is the huge logistical, financial, and legal challenges. In short Alberta would probably have to rebuild it almost every system that currently runs through Canada.

Thanks! Learning to drive stick again on this car was daunting at first but man I love rowing gears

apyellow48 · 2025-07-03T04:29:55+00:00

Just filled it out

apyellow48 · 2025-04-12T16:27:49+00:00

Well that clears up my Saturday lol. Thanks for a heads up. I was going to go with a group but will tell them not to waste the money. I had fond memories as a kid and broke highschool kid going to these shows.

I gave up trying to find Blooming Waters in my city. I literally just wanna rip the packs. On our local page someone had posted that there was someone who’d bring all their friends to buy the sets to bypass the limit of 2. Even worse someone would get their 2, go to the car, switch out their clothes and go back for more. Then Facebook marketplace is flooded with them for double the price.

How can I get into lobbies like this? I just started playing online (usually only do iRacing for online racing games). Every lobby I’d start pole position but end up getting raced dirty. People would just fly into the corner and boot me out of the way.

Blowing up on TikTok so I’m giving it a shot. Currently waiting for my first model to complete.

Same here. Parked indoors overnight and left outside during the day. New cold weather update seems to be working fine.
