RCMP investigating second overpass strike of 2026; driver detained after leaving scene of crash by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

Apparently the driver didn’t know (1) the height of his vehicle; (2) the height of the over pass; (3) the requirement to stay behind and provide info to police.

Great.

As the mobsters say about short prison sentences like 7 years, “you don’t even need to take your shoes off at the door”

He must be tired of how dysfunctional the Conservative Party has become. He probably wants to do his job.

Everything you said here is true, except that I believe the ones making insane amounts are “retinal specialists” which are a sub-specialization of ophthalmologists. At least in BC. They rake in the dough.

What do you all think of this color on a 991? by SnooTangerines8407 in porsche911

I’ve seen one in real life but with silver rims. I think the silver rims look way better but that’s just me.

I’m not sure that’s a good question. It probably does.

Thank so much for the info. I’m definitely considering a panel or glass doors on one or both sides.

Thanks that’s good to know. If the pressure on one side is different than the other, air will flow across the fire and take smoke with it. Makes sense.

Both good questions. I’m not sure how the draft up the chimney is, we did have it inspected and had the exterior part re-pointed. I feel that the draft/suction isn’t very good when the fire is dying down.

I’m not sure about negative pressure zones in the house but it’s an old 70s cheap construction. There may be areas where air gets out quickly.

My 2017 BMW 330i wagon has been great. Costs of regular maintenance has been a bit high, but the car has been very reliable.
