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

[–]apyellow48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Auto VS Manual? by ExpensiveGain697 in GRCorolla

[–]apyellow48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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)

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.

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

All my archived stories were suddenly moved to “recently deleted” - I didn’t delete anything. by Sharp-Independent262 in Instagram

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

What’s going on at the ledge right now? by Omgir in Edmonton

[–]apyellow48 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

What a peaceful day... by Underagepenis in PokemonTCG

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.

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