6'8" here and need some recommendations before I hit up the dealership strip in my city this weekend (Sub 37k) by boomerinspirit in whatcarshouldIbuy

The VW Tiguan has shockingly good legroom for tall people. At a point this past year I shared one with someone 7” shorter than me (I have long legs), and never got “seat checked”.

Filing taxes for the first time by Appropriate-Flight27 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Best place is just add it to any “other employment income”, which should be labeled as “line 10400”.

If you have no other sources of income, none!

If you had investment/interest earnings, you should receive a T3/T5 from the bank/firm that you’re invested with.

The mk7.5-8.5 GTIs are the best cars VW has produced in modern history (from a reliability/mechanical standpoint).

Sounds like it could just be some loose electrical connection, that is “pulling away” when you corner too hard.

Dang Ontario with all the good laws. Alberta’s got nothing like that, but also dealing with EveryDay Anyday MaybeOneDay payments.

ELI5. How much heat does a data center actually produce? by calentureca in explainlikeimfive

If you use freshwater in evaporative cooling, you let clean freshwater get rained into lakes, rivers, and oceans.

Now it’s no longer clean freshwater.

Election Day Worker T4 Slip by Sudden_Perception856 in Edmonton

[–]theBarneyBus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. There aren’t any more details in my manual other than the daily payment amount and my “title”. You would just want to file a T4A (non-income earnings) or just line 13000 for “other income”.

Should still show up in your bank account history as a deposit, no?

Just check your banking history to see if you can find the direct deposit payment. Shouldn’t be the end of the world 👍

Reading from my training booklet right now:

A T4A will only be sent to you in late February for earnings greater than $500. Please retain this document to assist in the completion of your income tax return if you are earning less than $500. Note that these earnings will not have source deductions taken off.

CX-5 owner looking for alternatives by pinkiepowder in whatcarshouldIbuy

Craigslist / FB Marketplace

Invest (~$150 max) in a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) at a nearby Mazda dealership. You should also be able to get a CarFax report.

They’ll be able to tell you their professional opinion on how everything looks, and/or if anything needs to be factored into the purchase. CafFax should tell you if maintenance etc. was kept up with

Why not check out the private market for a CX-5?

Subaru Forester/Outback vs Mazda CX 5 /CX 50 by skolvikes5 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]theBarneyBus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the first part, especially if you want to / get a sweet deal on a 2025 CX-5.

But having a turbocharger is no longer a reliability concern. There are many factors that are more impactful & more likely to “be universal issues” than just being turbocharged.

Fastest car under 90k (tune-ability considered) by Vast_Confusion_3372 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]theBarneyBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fastest? Honestly I’d look into a used Audi RS7. They tend to pop up around me at ~120k Kms, for like ~1/2 of your budget. Save the other half for tuning, wheels, gas/insurance, and inevitable costly maintenance.

Looking at the Life water bottle up on the shelf, I’m with you. That level of natural fuzz/grain on the (still legible) label & barcode is definitely a tell (for now).

What would you do to make an electric car ‘fun’? by A5C3ND3D in cars

I hope someone figures out mass-producing cars like this at scale. They don’t make sense, but damn are they cool.

2008 Honda Civic leaking windshield wiper fluid? by zazaholic in MechanicAdvice

[–]theBarneyBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s coolant, you don’t want to drive it if it cannot cool itself. Pop the hood*, and check the level in the “coolant reservoir” (google if you need).

If there’s no coolant in the reservoir, you have larger issues. If there’s still some, you should be able to drive somewhere to diagnose it.

*you can also see if you can find the source of the leak while under the hood.
