Yep. There are still a lot of them on the road around here. I liked mine OK.

I keep 4s, and I’m pretty sure I’m in a very, very tiny minority. I also rarely hit 85mph. At least on my commute.

I like your points, and in case it wasn’t clear... my original post was not in support of capitalism!

We did the same for our boys. Wouldn’t do it any other way.

So. What is the weird 15" size out of curiosity?

that’s annoying. Last set of T/As I had always cleaned up nicely. It’s been 25 years since I had a set though so I suppose it’s a classic case of “don’t make them like they used to”

Good point. 2 of my cars have non-factory sizes on them.

Were those 15 people required though if you take profit out of the equation? I’d have a staff of 15 people to change a lightbulb if I had a blank cheque from the insurance company.

Yes, I was referring to the 850. I’m surprised they didn’t nix the full size for extra space.

Someone that needs new tires probably still has the old ones though. If you wore them out so much you can’t read the sidewall anymore you’ve got bigger problems!

It doesn’t wash off?

that thing has a full sized spare? surprising.

I’d normally put the white in, but on T/A’s on that car, you really should have put them facing out! Some simple green and a nylon brush will keep them looking good.

This is not how capitalism works.

I choose to use old cars and machinery and the extra maintenance will definitely wear you down, but the flipside is you actually know how it works and are able to do something about it when it does break down.

The recent arbitrary ban is what garnered my “for the most part” comment as I agree it won’t do anything but cost money, but come on. Tim Horton’s is sell-out garbage and they’d do more for public safety to ban them instead!

Canada’s gun laws are more sensible than draconian for the most part, but the point of the matter is a police officer is someone you’re supposed to trust.

Please do not feed the trolls!

Best thing would probably be stay home.

Yeah, a guy up here in Canada made his own pretend cop car and then went out and shot 20 some odd people. and the cops didn’t let anyone know he was out there playing cop.
