Yes sir. I think it was around 600.00

True story! Too many donuts and I would have had issues getting out of the car :)

Thanks, I did okay, lost on mods but that was expected. Yes low tow rating but will work for my 18 foot Chaparral. Only move it from storage to slip twice a year. Will mod it too because that's what we do right? :)

Mixed emotions last week! Sold my C7, lifestyle changes dictate that it probably sit around this year. Limited parking at the Condo on the lake and the need to haul things called for a full size Bronco that will tow my boat and a Lincoln Nautilus for the lady will work better for now. Certainly...

113,000.00 offer, no sale.

2LT with 3,634 kms running today at Adesa Calgary, will be interesting to see what kind of money it brings. 1LT sold for 100 in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago.

CRA guy driving a Corolla.... What's this C8 deduction for? :)

Great points about being more aware! I don't mind being the "rabbit" when traveling slightly over the speed limit but the guys that try to follow/draft 8 feet behind me to save themselves a potential ticket are also really annoying. I try my best to avoid traveling in packs with 10 or 20 other...

Rule 78 of the bank act is what it's called and it doesn't just apply to auto loans. 78% of the interest is paid in the front end of the loan. Has nothing to do with the dealer. Banks set the terms. They lobbied the government for it years ago and naturally it passed.

Heck no, it was my little 69 GTX. Just kidding it was a 58 Ford 4 door with a transplanted 302, faster than the speed of smell, no pic of it unfortunately.

My 67 Camaro was quick, not quite stock though :)

I remember a sleeper 340 butt ugly green Duster with painted dog dish wheels. He had it done up at Pacemaker in Edmonton back in the day. Spanked many big blocks. I am familiar with the wack term used to describe both money and drivers.

Kind of crazy when you think about it. Not surprising but neat to compare different era's My 2019 F-150 Limited 4x4 that weights over 5000 lbs does the quarter mile in 13.7 seconds at 102 mph. 1968 Plymouth Road Runner (426ci/425hp, 3spd auto,, 1/4 mile - 13.54 @ 105.10mph, 4000 lbs. Close race...
