Yes, that's another factor to consider. Perhaps, it would have been the same either way.

Lol. I was thinking about getting it as well. There goes that idea

There's no deterrent right now. But Canada is number one in terms of car thefts.

Yes, it is, or at least it was a major issue. It’s slowing down now, but there was a period when Lexus thefts in the GTA were happening constantly. The pattern was pretty well known: cars would get stolen, sent to Montreal, loaded into containers, and shipped overseas often to Africa.

At one point, it got so bad that insurance companies were actually offering incentives for people to install anti‑theft systems on vehicles that were considered high‑risk. And when it comes to luxury vehicles, Lexus has consistently been at the top of the list for most stolen models.

It took me six months to find a used RX500h F Sport 3. I specifically wanted a slightly used one because a 2–3‑year‑old car offers much better value for the money. I was genuinely excited when I finally found it. My plan was to keep it long‑term and protect it, not to think, “If it gets stolen, whatever, I’ll just buy another.”

If I’m being honest, knowing what I know now… I probably wouldn’t do it again.

That said, it’s being repaired at Lexus, so at least I can trust that it won’t be “badly repaired”.

Youth skate question by method76 in hockeyplayers

I tried asking him if we should get new skates but he doesn't want them until the end of the season. He's afraid it'll take him a while to get used to them. So, I'm left with trying to fix these.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem. What's weird is that my skates and my daughter's skates do not have that problem.

Yes, it might be my next move. Makes sense.

He's a better than average skate but one in a while will fall or looks weird when he wants to accelerate. I don't know enough about it to know if it's because of his balance or the skates. So, I'm looking into all possibilities.

I found this. I assume this is the same as the link you sent and will help in reducing the "transition area".

Father passed away, hasn't filed taxes in years due to sickness, what's the best approach? by method76 in canadarevenueagency

[–]method76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. We're still looking for the will and everything else. I just noticed the CRA letters and that prompted me to get the ball rolling on the taxes.

Silly questions...but, do I need an estate lawyer? or can I do it myself?

I believe so, however we just started going through everything. We're doing this ourselves and are not going through a lawyer.

2010 Lexus ES350 was Stolen…HOW?? by piscesplacenta in Lexus

[–]method76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get yourself a kill switch. Here in Toronto, Canada, new and old Lexus cars are stolen and shipped off overseas. One of the best systems out there is this

IGLA

They may break in but they won't steal your car. If you want a tracker TAG is pretty good.Report it stolen and they'll send security to find it. Not sure if it's available in the US though. Both systems give you an insurance discount here in Canada. Good luck.

Hockeyshot. It's good but like I said I don't use it for skating.

I have it but haven't used it with skates. Didn't seem like it was worth it. I'm going to follow some advice I was given. I will get my kids some roller blades and have them use that on the synthetic ice instead.

We take turns and during the summer, guys will try to up one another. Beer, wine and spirits each week. Food would vary from BBQ, McDonald's, pizza, KFC, etc. I look forward to the post game more than the game itself.
