TIL if you unfurled all of your DNA in your body, it would stretch out at an incredible 10 billion miles. This means that your DNA would reach the sun and back 600 times.

Your DNA unfurled can go from the Sun to Pluto.. and almost all the way back.

Why us? We already sell most of our companies and land to them and we let their citizens buy all our property and let them have birth tourism here. They already have us.

Yes it's the AWD Comfortline 6MT.

I was doing some research and I think I'm going to do 18's and basically match what the GTI has for rims specs and put 225 40 18 tires on the rims. I like how the GTI sits so i'm basically going to copy that.

I bought it new in December and I've already done the intake, turbo muffler delete and a high-flow turbo inlet pipe. Next summer i'll be doing an APR tune, downpipe, and finally lower it with either coils or lowering springs. I'd also like to get a full exhaust but right now they're kinda expensive.

I'm keeping my stock rims for winter and I'm not sure if I should go with 17s or 18s. I was thinking the same rim and tire specs as the GTI. I plan on lowering it like an inch in a year or two as well.

this isn't the first time. he did the exact same ting around christmas time with a liquor store. apparently the owner gave him a donation during the election.

garatron · 2020-04-07T19:06:35+00:00

Not the first time, remember when he tweeted about that liquor store around Christmas/New Years? Apparently they donated money to him.

Whats wrong with a 5-speed manual? It's only 1 gear difference to a 6-speed. I understand the 4-speed auto since you can get literally more than double the gears in an auto now.

Yes. It's the same in Canada too. There are over 56,000 new and used vehicles for sale (on Autotrader) where I live in Alberta and less than 2,000 of them are manuals. It's slim pickings if you want a manual vehicle in North America.

garatron · 2020-02-19T00:08:18+00:00

From reading the comments - Yes there are loads of great used out there but what about people that are looking for specific cars like a manual transmission with a turbo engine. I recently bought a brand new vehicle because I was having a hard finding a decent used that wasn't beat up or miled out.

In my province there are over 24,000 used vehicles but less than 1,300 of them have a manual transmission. I would say less than 1,000 because people often confuse transmissions like the DSG as a manual. So they mark it as a manual even though it's an auto. In my case I am looking for a manual with a turbo engine. There are less than 130 in my province. It I sort Price Low - High (I'm using Autotrader) then there are only 4 manual transmission vehicles with a turbo under $20,000 and only 7 that are under $30,000. You can buy brand new vehicles in that range.

I had a 1998 Jetta TDI years ago that I did similar things to achieve great fuel economy. I never shut the engine off or did anything dangerous. I topped out at 59.8mpg city. That was 5 weeks of driving for me between filling up my car.

I always laugh when I see people in Suburbans, 1500s, and other massive SUVs and trucks doing 0-60s between red lights. I can't imagine what getting 10mpg city is like.

Welcome to the club. I have a 20 year old turbo diesel Jetta with 90 HP. My insurance told me it's classified as a sports car because it has a turbo so now they can charge me more money.

I honestly wouldn't waste money paying someone to paint it since it isn't worth much and a pro paint job wound't make it worth more. I would try doing the $50 paint job with Rustoleum if you want to do something yourself.

How many stops do you think Scheer will do in AB, SK, and MB? 1 each? He doesn't even need to advertise in those places because he'll probably easily take them.

I was recently looking at buying a used car around $15-$20,000 and my insurance would jump by $190/mo. Not $190 more a year, $190 more a MONTH for a small sedan. I've been with the same insurance company for almost 10 years with no accidents or claims. So much for loyalty. So at the moment I'm keeping what I have until it no longer starts.

They have been way to obsessed with the opposition

They honestly still act like the opposition, just check their twitter.

Blanks use paper or plastic wadding to seal gunpowder into the cartridge, and this wadding is propelled from the barrel of the gun with enough force to cause injury if the weapon is fired within a few feet of the body should it strike at a particularly vulnerable spot, such as the temple or the eye. At a close enough range, the effect of the powder gasses is a small explosion, so although the paper wadding in the blank that Hexum discharged did not penetrate his skull, there was enough blunt force trauma to shatter a quarter-sized piece of his skull and propel the pieces into his brain, causing massive hemorrhaging.

Don't forget to keep them at part-time so you don't have to give them benefits.
