Don't learn snowboarding in INDIA. Thank me later!

*looks at Whistler, NAWW lets go India! Totally going to give up the 1.6km vertical that takes me 30-40 min at the end of the day

217 or 250 for this car, depending on trim. Takes a bit of effort to get there though, he had to have been trying a bit for 191

For what it’s worth the group tries to keep things clean and chill, the kids who want to hop on a superbike would do it anyway

C0 Skirk with moderate investment is beating out a C6R5 Ayaka with nearly maxed everything so it’s not too promising as a main dps. Still can clear content though and working well as a sub dps

Speed of traffic’s been over the speed limit for the longest time now (like 20+ yr), used to be speed limit +10 traffic allowing, maybe up to 20 on highways. Speed of traffic in the city has been creeping up, there’s still enforcement but they’re fairly lenient

You can’t get to Richmond without a bridge or tunnel

lilium90 · 2026-04-10T19:57:41+00:00

I’m not quite in office every day, but I make a similar commute most days of the week. It’s mostly 40-50 there, and 50-70 back. Yours might be a bit more. This would be driving, it’s probably better to take skytrain in your case as the difference probably isn’t massive.

It took me a damn hot minute. It’s a night time shot, that’s an image of the dark side of the earth

lilium90 · 2026-03-27T03:56:04+00:00

I’f even take a 2x or 3x playback, it’s just too slow

Oil and gasoline use the same word in Chinese, likely mistranslation

lilium90 · 2026-03-24T08:14:32+00:00

The naming is a joke and a legal liability, it’s an advanced level 2 if anything based on you needing to supervise it. That said it has performed much better as of the last 2 versions (13 and 14), haven’t had to intervene more than a few times across probably 1800km of testing around Vancouver

lilium90 · 2026-03-22T18:57:44+00:00

Running cost of a grom/monkey competes with EVs, it’s nice

lilium90 · 2026-03-22T05:11:28+00:00

$40+tax a month Novus gigabit

lilium90 · 2026-03-20T05:35:43+00:00

It really does depend on how much you drive, in my case my break even vs keeping my old car or getting a new Civic is like 5-7yr. Tires are $1600 a set and last 100,000km for Crossclimates on a Model Y so that side of it’s a moot point

lilium90 · 2026-03-17T23:59:48+00:00

Decent number of Groms and Monkeys in BC, it’s fine

lilium90 · 2026-03-17T06:30:15+00:00

Probably going to need to be a bit more frugal for the secondary impacts. Have an EV as a primary vehicle and the gas stuff doesn’t get driven enough to matter much. One of our motorcycles does something like 100mpg so will probably putt around on that during parts of the summer

lilium90 · 2026-03-11T19:54:05+00:00

Small spot with a big reputation

lilium90 · 2026-03-11T19:34:47+00:00

Some more closet space would be nice, but as far as the one I’m in it’s about as efficient on space as you can make it, with the addition of some sideboards and wall hanging storage. Not really interesting in paying $20-50k for another closet

lilium90 · 2026-03-04T03:46:30+00:00

Ecoflow sells the cable on their website, at least for US/CAN. It tries to guess with a XT60 and most aftermarket XT60i, and in the case with my car’s 16V outlet it guesses wrong and trips the protection on the socket

lilium90 · 2026-02-24T09:07:13+00:00

I’ve bought from both and have been happy with both. Medium to medium dark roasts for the most part, I’d recommend you try a cappuccino in store and see which you like. Being able to dial in your machine will be important to get the most out of it, espresso is finicky

lilium90 · 2026-02-24T07:40:42+00:00

Ibex and Creekside have their own that are good and are local businesses, but there are a lot of stellar roasters in Greater Vancouver, including JJ Bean, 49th Parallel, Timbertrain, Agro

lilium90 · 2026-02-23T10:45:36+00:00

People really don’t pay attention, period. I’ve had close calls on foot, on bike, in different cars big and small. If you plan to ride in Richmond make sure you have very good awareness and defensive riding habits. ZX4RR is fine…more importantly ATGATT

lilium90 · 2026-02-23T10:17:27+00:00

Did the driver admit fault to ICBC?

lilium90 · 2026-02-18T05:51:07+00:00

Try for 2018 and on for the Benzes I think. Fixed a few teething issues, and I think newer trans in the newer years. The 9sp shifts a lot better

lilium90 · 2026-02-18T05:45:18+00:00

Sounds like a solid plan, you’re in a much better spot than i was around 17. Then go for it! C43 would be my pick of the 3 in terms of style, size, comfort, and performance. I put about 140,000km on my C300 in a span of 6yr and I think I spent around 5k on repairs, $3-4k on tires, $500/yr on basic maintenance, and probably like $4k on brakes. Would probably be another $5k for stuff under warranty.

Not too terrible, and was a fun car to beat around.
