God damn I forgot how annoying Cracked is, they’re baffled by roads devoid of other drivers, they seem to be unaware that there’s a world outside of LA and New York.

Depending on the vehicle is question it’s usually some combination of 7mm, 10mm, 13mm, T15, and T20.

I’m originally from midwestern Ontario and my favorite is the Cinderella’s Carriage Classic Car Show at Port Elgin Pumpkinfest the weekend before Canadian Thanksgiving, I went every year since I was 11 until I moved to Saskatchewan, some time I’ll have to take the time off work register my ‘83 Buick Electra in the

Holy shit SD only has a population of 856,000, last time I went down there I got jokes from them about Saskatchewan’s population being sparse, 1.1 million is more than 856,000 if my math checks out right.

If you own a Chevy keep spare bulbs and a 7mm socket.

I’ve never seen the gas station TVs in Canada, I didn’t even know they were a thing until I went to Georgia for work and in one week I have learned to hate them, I think the pump actually slows down to fit in more ad time.

I’m thinking they started developing it before then and it’s implementation is a mess, I’m told it works better on Lenovo tablets, we have Samsung and Acer tablets at the shop, so it might be optimized for Lenovo and nobody at AGCO bothered to tell the dealers, older manuals from Epsilon are slowly being put on

I work for an Massey Ferguson dealership, we used to have AGCO Source, when you have a warranty problem look up the problem component, or applicable error code and it will bring up the most common failures, AGCO tracks that information figures out the failure rate and then issues a either a mandatory or a fix-as-fail

At this point no trade deal is better than what Drumpf and his cronies are proposing, Americans are already paying higher costs for building materials because of the (illegal) softwood lumber tariff, and now you’re willing to let your government screw you on car parts too.

$81 ticket and no charges for that in BC meanwhile in Saskatchewan the RCMP and SGI are trying to charge people with distracted driving for having their phone within reach.

I can’t wait to hear Elon Musk make more ridiculous claims about another non existent vehicle, let the Tesla circlejerk begin!

Meanwhile in Saskatchewan most people don’t even bother making fake plates, unlicensed vehicles isn’t really a big deal with all the drunk 14 year olds driving semis pulling a B train down the grid roads.

I have a 1983 Park Avenue, the power steering on those old full size B-body and C-body cars pretty much lets you steer the car just by thinking about it.

I’d still rather that engine oil filters were built like hydraulic oil filters with the bypass valve in the filterhead instead of inside the filter itself, making it possible to put a contact switch in the bypass valve to illuminate a clogged filter warning light on the dashboard.

DC still causes induction in any wire running parallel close to it, induction is still happening with DC the induced current just doesn’t change direction at 60Hz like it does with AC, high current still causes strong enough induction to interfere with shielded CANbus wires or sensor signal wires.

I grew up in midwestern Ontario, rural Pensylvania kind of seems like the American version of that.

Life is so much better without DST, after moving to Saskatchewan, I really wonder why it’s still a thing.

Had the sidewall blow out on one of the front tires on an old 835 Versatile while going full speed down the road.

The quality of most nickel isn’t good enough, I’m going to go with Mike from Canmore’s solution and blame Sudbury.

I have an old Spra-Coupe 103 chassis with mostly intact sheetmetal, this could be a good engine for an open cockpit rear engine hotrod, without the booms and tank it kind of looks like a Colonial Viper.
