I’m going over to a friends to take a look at a minivan in his possession that has a dead battery and a flat tire. Then if all goes decently, It will be coming home with me this weekend so I can give it a once over and see how far it is from passing inspection. Not the winter beater of choice, but without a current…

Especially when they’re competitive to the big guys and easier on the wallet.
The blue one had AWD badging on the boot.
The driver was wearing hi-vis, decent chance it was a company truck. Very few people care about their company’s vehicles.
Just look at them funny and they rust.
Patrick is on the right track, just the wrong brand. Buying a Honda will save money up front because it’s a mere peasant’s car.
I caught a show several months ago called Supercar Superbuild, it was an episode on Rolls Royce. It was actually pretty astonishing, they set up everything in house right down to the training and apprenticing of the various craftsmen required to hand build a car.
Bureaucracy, that’s how.
Private property. If you’re using it outside of the guidelines, you are accepting the consequences. Which would probably be ticketing and/or towing.
When they started sellign the Avalanche, it was the only way you could easily get a “pick-up” with 4 full doors. Unless you wanted a 3/4 ton long box contractor truck. Since then the market has shifted and now over half of the half ton truck sales are the 4 door crew cabs.
It’s always a Toyota.
Worked at an independent shop that sold used cars, while I was there we got a couple of unsold CPOs through auction. They usually get sent after 90 days on the lot. One of them still had the big CPO branding on the windshield and guess what. It actually failed our lame provincial inspection for a broken door limiter…
Honestly, shit like this is why I am not involved in the local car culture at all. I’ll go to a car show once a year just to remember why I don’t go more.
Is the charge the toll rate?
Eventually you don’t even know you’re shifting, it becomes so instinctual. Then one day you hop in an automatic car and are bored as dirt. Left leg and right hand just sitting there doing nothing particularly useful.
That was pretty much my thought. At those speeds you wouldn’t have time to realize that the car several blocks away is closing fast enough that you have to worry about it.
The steel wool should be available from a hardware type store, or somewhere that sells building supplies, like a plumbing supply shop. Or if you can deal with Amazon, even through there. A quick look shows a few choices for under $10 Canadian, easily under $5 US and that’s enough for years of cleaning windows.
Amazon.ca is pretty bad for pricing in most cases.
The Dodge filters for my SRT are priced about the same as a low end aftermarket one. I see no reason not to run an OEM filter.
