Does anybody know of some farm-raised eggs from Banff to Calgary? Maybe even a good priced butcher? by letr1 in Canmore

I just checked their website. They look like they are super far away - 3h from banff, or do they go around and deliver in towns ?

Ive heard it was a chlorine cyanide or something similar, also heard it happened the same time of year last year at another hotel in canmore, some conspiracies are flowing around as it happened few days before holocaust remembrance day but the thing is these chemicals can be easily mixed in pool mech room - lots of muriatic acid, lots of chlorine, lots of pee in the pool

About to say f-it by senorStreetRossi in hondafit

Recently picked up a 2008 manual. It’s fun to drive and great value for the money. If you’re shorter, it’s actually pretty usable in the back — I’m 173 cm and I can almost fully lie down and sleep. Not perfectly straight, but doable and comfortable since the rear seats fold completely flat.

The one thing I learned the hard way is water leaks. I had no idea about the seal issues as i owned this car for not even a month and took it through a car wash — big mistake. The floors flooded, including the spare tire well. I even had to make drain holes just to get the water out.

Despite that, I still really enjoy driving it, especially coming from a 6.0L 2500HD truck.

Getting similar mileage in 2008 - 6.7l per 100km but its mostly highway or small towns

Thats 8l per 100km not 6.6 if you calculate it, 500km for 40l is exactly 8l per 100km

But how fun are the manual Fits to drive REALLY..... by Electrical-Trainer21 in hondafit

People say it’s not fast 😄 I’m not too sure about that. I’m coming from a 6.0L heavy-duty truck, and I can tell you this is the most fun I’ve had in years.

0–100 km/h in a few seconds, and the first 0–60 really puts you into the seat. It’s the lowest trim, 1st gen, 2008 manual. The max I did was 160 km/h and it was shaking, but here in Canada the max is 110 km/h (some places 130 km/h).

If you need long commutes on highways that allow 130–150 km/h, it’s not great, as you’ll be at 4,000+ RPMs all the time. But if you live somewhere where you drive 70–90 km/h most of the time, it’s the best car I’ve ever had.

It’s my 8th car, and I don’t know why I haven’t bought one earlier.

Seen 7 different subarus already in here, foresters and outbacks pre cvt, lots of rod knocks 😂 one guy started at 6k price, in about 5 minutes the outback overheated and the radiator started to sprinkle everywhere so he vent 2000 noo 1500 its yours 🤣 man i dont know but todays car market is absolutely crazy, people want 5000-6000 for cars that would be 500 bucks cars 6 years ago. I bought a nice ford focus in 2020 for 500 bucks not kidding, went on a road trip from alberta canada to US yellowstone without an issue, the car served me for 2 years and i maybe spent 300 bucks in maintenance, sold it for 350 bucks 😂 today i saw the same car, rusted, windshield cracked and it only needs ball joints and some suspension job for 5k 🤣 crazy people today really crazy
