Honest question: what’s the point of auctions like this? Do people just buy it for scrap metal?

The point of the rule is that nobody is going to import a 25 year old shitbox when a comparable domestic used car can be had. Cars can be pretty freely imported/exported across the US-Canada border because the US and Canada have almost identical Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (to import my US 2016 Kia Optima to…

What the hell are you talking about? The top two things on your list have entire agencies designed to keep them from entering th country. The cars were caught by Customs and Border Protection, you know, the agency that inspects all imports

As soon as the song started playing, I immediately thought of Bartlett leaving the cathedral for the press conference, ignoring the health reporter for a White House correspondent, Leo saying “watch this,” and the camera panning around Bartlett as he puts his hand in this pocket.

I think even moderately harsher penalties like we have in Ontario would suffice. I grew up in Pittsburgh, so I’m used to doing a “Pittsburgh Left,” which is where a car making a left turn where there is no protected turn lanes goes as soon as the light turns green. It’s common and expected in Pittsburgh because there…

I can see how Hyundai cracked the list if Kia build quality is any indication of the company’s overall quality. I have a 2016 Kia Optima and didn’t realize until I looked it up that Kia used to be known for absolutely horrendous vehicles. I picked an Optima because out of all the mid-sized sedans I had driven as…

I also got my car at a base model price, although not so dramatically. My Kia Optima LX was a trade-in at a Volvo dealership and the salesperson (and apparently nobody else at the dealership) knew anything about the car, because the price I got it for was the KBB trade-in value. I don’t think they realized it actually…

No, hitting another car at the same speed is equivalent to hitting a brick wall. If two cars of equal weight hit each other, and one is going 50 mph and the other 25mph, if they didn’t have crumple zones, they’d bother be moving in the direction the 25mph car came from at 25mph. If they’re going the same speed, the…

That crash was insane. Both the commentators on WRC All Live couldn’t believe it was him at first since he wrecked with 5km to go on a 37km course

Both the driver and co-driver climbed out of the car on their own with the help of some fans. Meeke got out and sat down against a tree.

This is why I love the Petro Canada season pass for the car wash. In December, I just spend $200 for up to one car wash a day for 90 days. So if I’m driving around, before I head back hone, I stop off at the car wash up the street and get a wash, including underbody spraying. A small price to pay but I’m not going to…

Ontario only has safety inspections if you’re transferring a registration. If you hold onto your car, it’ll never need a safety inspection

It’s not overly sensitive, it’s just detecting relative speed as well. That car may be far back, but if it’s going to be on top of you in the time it takes to change lanes, then it’s correct in warning you

Depends how new the car is. When my lights are on auto, the lights turn on when the wipers have been on for 15 seconds and the lights turn off when the wipers have been off for 15 seconds.

Rabies is tested on death animals. If the animal was acting rabid, animal control was going to kill it anyway.

That’s crazy. So even four adults on the lighter side of the scale would put it over the weight limit.

This doesn’t apply to temporary residents. I lived in Ontario for 2.5 years with a Pennsylvania driver’s license and a PA plate on my car, and didn’t need to get them switched over until I got permanent residency.

There’s a sequence of three lights in my city where if you accelerate to 15 MPH after the first light, you’ll get to the second and third one right as each turns green. A few times I’ve had people aggressively accelerate and go around me and it’s just fucking absurd. Hey buddy you definitely didn’t need to floor it to…

This one doesn’t even seem *totally* unreasonable. If I’m making a left turn into the right lane of a four lane roads, I’ll usually just put my palm against the wheel and let it correct itself. But it really only works for wide turns.

In this case, however, it could be as simple as something like “between the centerline of the vehicle’s floor and one half of the maximum floor width specified in Rule X.X(X), no holes shall be placed in the floor.”
