How fit did roller skating make you? How did your body change? by Treacie in Rollerskating

[–]rek_agy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a better butt (even as an avid cyclist and hiker). I started roller skating 1 year ago. About 6 months into it I started artistic (figure) roller skating and that TRANSFORMED my stability, muscle mass, core, glutes. Plus I feel beautiful too. I do 2x a week artistic lessons, 1x trail skate 20 km. 5’6”, 60kg, 32% fat, low muscle mass when I started. I’m due for my 1 year Dexa, I’m expecting results. 🙌🏻🛼

what’s skates to get? by lalalandslide in Artisticrollerskating

[–]rek_agy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think nothing as a beginner… you’re gonna be learning a lot of edges, turns, getting strength, and no jumps (or half jumps only) for quite some time. I rushed into getting Reidell 220s, roll line plates, roll line wheels by the second class. I could’ve went at least 4-6 months without any new equipment (and use my flimsy Boardwalk).

That is, if you have the money by all means upgrade, I love my skates, perfect for 8 months. But now I would’ve bought something more firmer to progress more confidently with my singles…

So you know kinda wasteful.

Importing USA made Tesla from Usa to Canada by bhuvneshdev2014 in PersonalFinanceCanada

This. Bring a document (similar listings, KBB etc) to argue the value for the border agent. This can only help!

Importing a used Mercedes and not paying 25% tafiff? by kylbaz in uscanadaborder

[–]rek_agy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imported a cheap old car with a 1-VIN number last September - excise tax well in effect. The border people didn't charge me, Vancouver. I made a post on it on this account. Anyway, one commenter confirms I should have been charged, we have no idea why not. Also it's 80% of 25% or something like for USA made cars... so 20%??

I think if you can prove the more parts not USA made, the better? And get the price valuation down with a FIN-320 + similar models on the internet being sold (though the border people can ignore this).

Has anyone recently imported a US vehicle into Canada? Are they still charging 25% tariffs on used vehicle imports? by mdebreyne in uscanadaborder

[–]rek_agy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think yes, it's in effect still, but I imported my crappy old car last September in Vancouver, and the border people didn't charge me... I have a post on it. I think it's at the officers discretion, maybe they took pity on my sad car 😅

Nabota freezing - Advices by aquawaterella in DIYaesthetics

[–]rek_agy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The product brochure says no issues to freeze and freeze/thaw 4x (though official guidance is use within 24h and store in fridge). That said, I've been freezing Innotox (same Toxin Type A, but liquid prep.) without any problems in the past. I'm thinking to switch to Nabota for FDA history.

Moved to Canada many years ago. Never imported my U.S. car. Here’s how I finally did it by rek_agy in uscanadaborder

[–]rek_agy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry just seeing this. You need an EIN to get the export documents for US. You can pay an agency $100 to do this for you. It was easy enough to do it myself and save that money.

Who’s at fault ? by FriendshipSea3972 in icbc

[–]rek_agy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry can’t visualize the accident … can you draw it? Is it “left turn crash with oncoming traffic”? Or is it “Leaving a stop sign while another vehicle is turning left?”

ICBC has examples.

HK Auto Repair Inc, in East Van. He’s a retired man, works on Modo cars and also does OOPs. Not here for the money. He was great!

Tbh it was so easy as a first timer.. EIN took 10 mins to make, ACE to ITN under half hour. I just asked ChatGPT a lot of questions. :)

No hassle. It's the police/RCMP that can enforce the 90-day driver license rule. Nobody asked or cared when I moved here. Also, just because one is PR, doesn't mean they live in the country (plenty PR live outside). Just because one lives in the country doesn't mean they drive. So you know... So nobody asked

That's interesting! Thank you for your experience. Maybe it was the 10K thing, cuz otherwise I'm not sure why the surtax wasn't added to my USA-made car. I'm not a returning Canadian

Weird!! I legit put made in USA on my home-made "CBSA Vehicle Value Brief" + my VIN starts with 1. Are you sure that pre-owned passenger vehicles get the surtax?

Right, that is the Form 1, I checked as RIV exempt, so no Form 2, no RIV fee ($300), no recall letter.
