Need a winter car

[simon482]

Your posts are completely irrelevant and your humour was lost on everybody but yourself and I am the one who is fucked up here?
You forgot the I would part.





hahahaha, good one

i did forgot a word or 2, not needed in that context or the start of what i was saying.

the quote you took from lankey was not part of the conversation i was having with the cat, careful editing but failed on your part.

you left off the quotes were i answered afterhours and the cat and i fuck with each other in a good natured way. you fail to miss that and misquoting things to try and prove a point shows serious desperation to try and alter a conversation to prove your point. sadly though your point never had a chance because it never existed in the first place.

do yourself a favour and give up because you are really looking foolish.

i suppose you could make that argument but i don't see it that way. enjoy the things in life, yes my opinion is not to waste money on a car because someone else can fuck that up for you and then you wasted a lot of money on something you can't ever have again.

i go out to nice restaurants and enjoy myself quite a bit. i do live a life worth living, i just don't live it through my car and don't want to every worry about something so trivial.

we live in a relatively safe country where your car and its contents can be insured rather cheaply...I don't worry about my car any more than you do

i agree with you an what you are saying, you have to know what you are buying to know it is safe. however any major repair no matter the car the first question i would ask is "is it worth it to fix" then move on from there. buying new or used you are at risk of a lemon, but used is a slightly higher risk. no one that is selling a used car is gonna tell you the truth to why they are selling it. like i said i get cars for free, and they last me about a year then something goes wrong and i toss it or give it to someone else. then move on to the next car.

you run a certain risk no matter what you buy that it is gonna be a piece of shit. cars built on a tuesday and wednesday are gonna be better than a car built on a friday or monday. yes you can go back in research far enough to find out the day and shift your car was made on.

for me when i pick up one of the pieces of shit that i drive. i take it for a test drive, not for 10 mins either, usually for an hour or so to let it get warmed up and hiccups to come into play, take it to my friends shop and pop the tires off on the hoist and looks at the front and rear brakes, look at the lines and frame. look for rust in the shock towers. exhaust leaks. i basically give the car a full tour to check for everything that can been seen visual. sensors and stuff or another thing altogether, you cannot tell when a sensor is gonna blow out, that just happens.

i also keep an address in northern ontario for cheaper car insurance and no emissions testing.

nice. I missed the part how you get free used cars??

Jeez....Canadians get real upset when it come to winter driving.
Wait until the annual winter tires thread re-appears...all out war.

I knew audi / subaru lovers will flame me for this. The fact is AWD does add advantage in racing because your goal is speed, fast cornering even on slippery situations, AWD has more grip and can corner faster. but for everyday driving on the street, you'd be crazy to do what rally racing drivers do. AWD also adds considerable weight and fuel consumption to the car needlessly.

In our city I agree AWD is a waste of money unless you head to the sticks fairly often in the winter. There is a saying that goes "AWD makes sure you can get to the scene of the accident, and it also ensures that when you do, you will be travelling much faster."

heh heh, I do the same!
I'm surprised the province hasn't extended the emission testing across Ontario, up north is where you see the real problem cars.

when they first brought it in, it stopped at barrie and even numbers. we all got told that within 4 years it would be odd number car years and all they across the province. then they left it at barrie and made it every car. works for me, i get cheaper plates, stickers, insurance and no emisions test.
