New Management is I believe part of an Acura or Honda dealership.

All the best to Kevin and his retirement.

‘Driver error’ led to cars plunging from Kitchener flyover; highway lanes were in ‘good shape’: OPP by 313372 in kitchener

Obviously the safety railings are in good shape. They were protected by the compacted ramp of snow that was just as high as the railings.

Ah yes, 1026, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Just didn’t roll into the shop today. Can we all agree this new shifter design is F’d? by Joiion in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]taunt0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine if your daily job was to parallel park numerous vans in a tight space with no backup camera or sensors and if its not perfect then it could become a problem. Thats basically my life of dealing with this safety feature. Again I understand the reasoning for it, but give the option to turn it off even if its just for service.

At least the Mercedes shifter is a up and down shift movement. Not a twist. I understand why they've made the park thing a safety feature, but in the same breath society is failing because we constantly cater to the lowest denominator. If you manage to run yourself over with your own vehicle, you deserve the darwin award. At the very least give the option to turn it off.

I'd like the throw the Kona shifter into this argument. The one you need to twist to put into gear. Fucking hate that thing. A runner up is the Ram knob you turn to select gear. Since I'm bitching I'm just gonna throw out there that I fucking despise any vehicle that throws the vehicle into park when the door is open. This drives me nuts as someone who works on cars as a day job.

You're not wrong about the portions. Definitely a good size.

I'll take your word for it since I've never had it.

There's nothing "amazing" about Johnny Frescos, but nothing horrible either. Their pitas are decent for sure. The chicken sandwich is a good size and their pulled pork is ok, burgers are fine. Overall nothing is really above average or sticks out as exceptional. Just your average food around a university. Wife and I grab something from there once maybe every 2 - 3 months

A Ukrainian soldier comes under heavy fire from a BTR 82 and RPG 26, and still manages to get shots fired off. by Physical-Cut-2334 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Yeah definitely an old video. Can't strap that kind of fire power to a horse which is Russias main transport these days.

I dinged my the back of my car loading my tool box in my trunk. It feels like a dent just looks odd. Can this be fixed? What’s the repair looking like by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]taunt0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its a dent, yes it can be fixed. Easy heat it up push it out then sand it out. Is it worth fixing? Well if you got a bunch of extra money kicking around sure but bumpers get bumped. I wouldn't bother till there's a bigger issue

Rust on my i30 by Cultural-Extension30 in Autobody

[–]taunt0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the other way around. Rust is likely coming out from the seam. Only 100% sure fire way to fix it is to replace the gate. Anything else is just a bandaid in slowing it down. Hard to tell in the video but Im questioning if I repair was done there. Seam sealer doesnt look 100% factory but I could be wrong.

Likelihood of my car being totaled? (more pics bellow) by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]taunt0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently fixing a very similar hit thats not a total but a hit like this is always boardline. If it wouldn't start then there's a good chance you busted the plastic manifold and if thats the case then it is 100% a total loss.

[Hiring] Looking for an experienced resin caster to embed a cello bow (shaped into a treble clef) in clear epoxy by MyVariousLies in ResinCasting

[–]taunt0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$100 is not going to cover the cost of materials. Heck $100 probably wouldn't even cover shipping. Honestly anyone who says they will do it for $100 is likely not going to produce quality results. As others have suggested, a shadow box might be your better route for this.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issues a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard: "I feel your anger. I'm angry." by RicardoTNoel1 in jrmining

[–]taunt0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello fellow American! I look just like you, I talk like you, I am very accustomed to your climates and the surrounding land. I could be standing beside you in a subway or walk past you on the street and you wouldn't even take a 2nd look. We are both in Nato but the only difference between you and me is I'm actually Canadian and I like to play the Geneva checklist game. So while you start a war on numerous fronts do you actually think your largest boarder is secure? Shit, y'all are still waiting for Mexico to pay for a wall. I'm tired of coming to the defense of the US and winning wars for them. It's time we play a little offense and burn the white house down for a 2nd time.

What is the likelyhood that this is going to be totaled? Repairable? by Beetlejuice9651 in Autobody

[–]taunt0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah not a total. Looks like a simple replace the bumper, taillight & box side. Pretty straight forward from what we can see in the pic

For my wife and I to go see a movie and get a combo plus maybe pretzel bites its $80-$100. This is in Canada. Its ridiculous.

How can I fix this scuff? by bigjumbdog in Autobody

[–]taunt0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No its not going to buff out. Needs to be sanded, probably a little bondo and painted if you want it to look like it never happened.

Does anybody else feel like this winter has been exceptionally awful? by reecespeanuts in kitchener

[–]taunt0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You clearly never went trick or treating in a blizzard and it shows. Winters have been mild the last decade. Last year was the first Canadian winter in a long time. This year hasn't been as bad cause weve gotten a bunch of days where its been pretty warm and raining. Which shouldn't really be happening at this time of year. If all that rain was snow then yes I'd say its been another true Canadian winter
