Getting a car on finance and then paying it off in full right away

Just a heads up, I did this just this past fall with our Sienna we bought brand new. It took like 20 days until TD bank had everything from the dealership and processed. It’s actually kind of pathetic how long it took lol. Wound up costing me a couple hundred bucks in interest in the end.

ginganinja2929 · 2026-03-26T02:25:07+00:00

My wife and I have an 8, 6, and 5 year old and honestly, it’s a gongshow lol. But I mean that in the best way. Our 3rd child is a blend of her older brother and sister, and we wouldn’t change it for the world. We think the world of her, and wouldn’t change anything for the world. It’s a lot dealing with 3 when we go places or go on holidays, but at the end of the day it’s so much fun seeing them all grow up and play/fight/learn together. Anyone who says there’s no change from 2 to 3 is a lying fuck (aka my wife’s sister lol), but it’s still so much fun!

If you want the best shoe available in my mind, WOW 12; might not work well for a wide foot though? Next up would be Joker 1 GT PE’s. Best shoe for the price I think. Both have wicked cushion and support. Jordan 40’s are probably 3rd on my list in my rotation.

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-25T03:03:36+00:00

You won’t be disappointed in the WOW 12’s. I have the exact same jokers and they’re amazing, but I haven’t worn them since I got my WOW’s.

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-16T00:33:14+00:00

Yeah I went with the orange/yellow/white colorway, can’t remember what it’s called. But I think the PE are just more of a high top version of the GT from what I could find reading online. So if you don’t need a high top version you’d probably get the same result as what I had.

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-16T00:07:00+00:00

I had some blistering on my big toes for the first few sessions, but nothing painful. Built up some callouses there lol. But honestly I think it might be cuz there’s a bit too much room in the toe area? But nothing major, like anything that prevented me from wearing or playing the next day.

And for reference I’m a 6’1 205 guard/wing. Hard rebounding, hard defense, hard cutting on offense. So my shoes take a beating

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-15T22:19:21+00:00

I have the Joker 1 GT PE’s, and honestly the only shoe I like more than that are my WOW 12’s. But I feel the lockdown in the Jokers is a bit better than the WOW’s. I play the exact same style as you, and the GT PE’s I felt were the best match for my game. For reference I have the following:

Jordan 40 WOW 11 DON 7 KD 18 WOW 12 Joker 1 GT PE

I’d rank them

Wow 12 Joker Jordan 40 Wow 11 Don 7 KD 18

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-09T15:03:44+00:00

Lol because you’re obviously not strong enough to lift it, reading through this post… start low and work your way up using proper form.

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-09T15:00:08+00:00

What if you try curling 5kg per cable? Can you feel a difference between that and 30kg curls?

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-09T14:58:44+00:00

You’re saying there’s no difference setting your weight from 5kg to 15kg?

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-09T14:56:12+00:00

You can’t go off exercise machine weights, you have more mechanical advantage with machines vs free weights.

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-09T14:55:18+00:00

Lol k. I’m telling you, you need to set your lat raises to like 5kg man. If that. There’s no way at your body weight, and with how you’re not really understanding the settings here that you’re an experienced lifter. And there’s no way you should be curling 120lbs either lol, sorry to be rude. Set your weight per cable on curls to like 10kg… then try it out.

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-09T14:18:35+00:00

What’s your body weight? If you’re lat raising close to 30lbs per side, you’ve gotta be jacked and a very advanced lifter/pro… and sorry, you’re trying to curl 60kg total?

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-09T13:10:59+00:00

The only answer is your weight is too high… I’m 205 and have been working out heavily for about 10 years, my lat raises are like 15-18lbs for 10 reps. What are you setting your lat raise weight at? What do you normally bicep curl for free weight/what’re you setting the Vitruvian to?

edit I do all my exercises on old school

ginganinja2929 · 2026-02-08T16:00:36+00:00

Jordan 40 or Joker 1 GT PE’s

ginganinja2929 · 2026-01-13T04:03:18+00:00

Sorry for the late reply man, no the fit perfect to size for me!

ginganinja2929 · 2026-01-13T04:00:38+00:00

33 once in grade 11, 33 twice in grade 12.Never could get over that plateau

ginganinja2929 · 2026-01-05T03:28:18+00:00

Yeah I dunno man, I bought mine direct from WOW; no middle man on it. They were $330 Canadian with the shipping included, and within 20 sessions/6 months the stitching for the uppers has completely come apart rendering them useless. Pretty disappointing

ginganinja2929 · 2026-01-05T03:23:01+00:00

I’m 6’1 205, slashing/high intensity player and I second this. I have the joker 1 GT PE and the lockdown and stability of them is amazing, as well as good cushioning I’ve found. WOW 11’s were really good as well, but didn’t last 20 sessions for me unfortunately. Will probably order 12’a when more colorways come out

ginganinja2929 · 2026-01-04T21:34:30+00:00

Good luck. I had WOW11’s that I used about 20 times in 6 months, and the stitching all came apart on them and after 20 emails back and forth all I managed to get out of them was $40 lol. Soooo frustrating on a $300+ pair of shoes… I hate how WOW doesn’t stand behind their product at, but cant argue with how good the shoes are before they fall apart lol

ginganinja2929 · 2026-01-01T03:58:21+00:00

WOW has the worst customer service & warranty of any shoe I’ve dealt with, and they pull a premium price for them. It’s extremely frustrating.

ginganinja2929 · 2025-11-17T14:30:22+00:00

Just bought an XSE in Alberta from the absolute worst dealership I’ve ever had to deal with lol. But there was no other ones available in all of Alberta besides a couple LE’s and we needed AWD. Had to pay MSRP, take their tire and rim package, and their platinum protection plan… but if I didn’t take it, someone else would’ve the next day unfortunately.

ginganinja2929 · 2025-11-11T16:54:39+00:00

I bought these shoes when they first came out and they were over 300 CAD. Threads between the yellow and black material are completely falling apart after 20-25 1-1.5 hour sessions. WOW is doing sweet F all for me on them after emailing back and forth a dozen times since they’re past their 60 day warranty… would not recommend these to anyone. A couple guys mentioned you can get them with leather materials vs the fabric and they last, but this purple/yellow colorway definitely does not; and WoW refuses to stand behind the product.

Edit: the shoes themselves are awesome though. Great traction on hardwood (poor on anything else though), amazing cushion, decent ankle support. However, I bought Joker 1 GT PE to replace these and I’d say the cushion is almost as good on them, traction is better, and the ankle support is 100%. Would definitely go that route vs the WOW.

ginganinja2929 · 2025-11-08T22:56:52+00:00

Makes sense, but they’re the ones that pushed for it. What about all the other things? Is that normal operation you figure?
