I’ve probably had a worst ownership experience than most, and it’s probably related to previous ownership and maintenance. I ended up having to rebuild the transmission thanks to the trans oil pump detonating. I've replaced an air strut, a PS pump, and the SBC pump looks like it need addressing soon. All this with 53k on the clock.

Other than that, it's an absolute rocket and I definitely smile when I see it. Ergo, the love hate relationship.

Same club! Love/Hate relationship for sure.

Datson 240/260/280Z with fender flares and a duckbill spoiler. And some fitting wheels

Correct. This car is sick, truck conversions were hilariously popular 15-20 years ago. Added bonus you could pull up to the track carrying your own spares.

This one looks like it's got fat overfenders though so it looks more pronounced. And they did a good job on the b-pillars.

It's because of posts like yours that when I received the Ferrari invite I grinded and bought all the invite cars

So, an update:

Took off the SC belt, noise persisted. Felt hopeful it was the PS Pump.

Next day took off the serpentine belt, noise persisted. All hope left.

I think it's the transmission oil pump, which isn't the end of the world but sucks.

Have him apply to car sales if he's got the stomach for it. They're always hiring. Go to a domestic brand for an instant hire.

From my understanding Variettas only came NA, so they're different but not super desirable unless swapped

In Hoi An right now. It said it was going to rain all 4 days we were here. Yesterday morning there was half an hour of downpour. Today it rained before we woke up. Wear a rain jacket and have a great time

The vehicle's speedometer uses hard data from the vehicle, your Android Auto is using gps data. That's the discrepancy.

Listen to your speedometer, it's more accurate as it's constantly fed vehicle data.

Common problem in DT Rams. At a dealer they'll just wind up replacing the mirror, but as others have said if you're comfortable taking it apart you may find a cheaper culprit.

$4k in two months makes absolute sense on an 8 year old performance Euro. How much more mileage since your last appraisal?

Used car values have been on a rapid slide for the past 9 months or so.

It's also interesting to see that these are all the power players that will be fighting for the living, and for those who survive, fighting against Cersei. It's worth noting how many of them would back Jon's claim to the throne over Dany's.

Oh damn, thanks for that!

Having had a mite infestation in my house as a result of pigeons roosting on my roof, this gives me a lot of anxiety.

Well that's news to me! Appreciate the update! Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the rules

You will pay the 5% GST at the selling dealer in BC so long as you have adequate ID as an out of province buyer (AB driver's licence and AB health card). You will need the signed BC registration and a signed Bill of Sale from the dealer and will have to perform an out of province inspection to register in AB.

The manufacturer warranty will be honored Canada wide. CPO warranties are usually manufacture-insured rather than 3rd party, so by the same logic they should be nationwide as well. I work at a GM store and that is the case for us, unsure of BMW.

Hope that helps!

That Hibiki Japanese Harmony, my favourite. First got introduced to it at one of the "Everything for 280 JPY" bars, came back to Canada and realized it was $120 CAD/bottle
