  1. First car was a '75 Ford Pinto, even new it was a piece-o-BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH.
  2. Same here. As far as retirement goes, I retired 11 years ago at 55 and haven't looked back. It's been the best time of my life.
  3. I trust that the forum is being moderated the way Gregg wants it moderated, it is his after all and that should be respected.
  4. Because something supports your point of view doesn't make it unbiased. Everyone has biases.
  5. Havoc in Brussels? Seriously?
  6. Just because someone doesn't agree doesn't necessarily mean that they don't understand. It's quite possible for someone to understand but still not agree.

  8. This weeks irk goes to blowhards.
  9. Since the DH is coming to the National League is it time to merge the two leagues and realign the divisions?
  10. I started watching when the Blue Jays came into the American League. I think at that time there were two divisions of seven teams. It was the later expansion and realignment to three divisions of five teams that to me created the feeling that I was seeing the same four divisional teams night after night.
  11. I used to be a big fan but lost interest when they decided playing the teams in your division 19 times each was a good idea. For me 47% of your season against just 4 teams wears really thin after awhile.
  12. "imarriedawitch" was a race horse. I believe the rules at the time regarding the number of words in a name required it all to be run together.
  13. I'm a single guy that drives a seven seat SUV. It's not a "gas guzzler", it's 6 cylinder and delivers reasonable gas mileage. I like the room, comfort and sitting up just a little higher than the rest of the traffic. I like the AWD for Canadian winters and while it doesn't have the load capacity of a pick up truck when the second and third rows are folded down it has carried anything I've had to. Oh, and I've never been cool. Not even on my best day.
  14. Between exchange rates and U.S. gallon vs. Imperial gallon that's too much math for me. In Ontario it's $1.84/L for regular and $2.12/L for 91 octane for my Challenger. At least there is gas to buy unlike the 70's.
  15. I buy a new SUV every 5 or 6 years. By the time I get all wheel drive, all leather interior, two seat second row and the sun roof I'm at the upper tier of the model range and the heated seats etc. just kind of comes with.
  16. Dealerships here have little to no inventory due to the pandemic and supply chain issues. Last time I checked the GM dealership I deal at their entire new vehicle inventory consisted of just 4 pick up trucks. In these conditions there aren't going to be any sales, promotions or discounts. These vehicles due to the current "market conditions" will sell for above retail. I wrote in another thread that I have a 2016 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack with about 10,000 miles on it. Since having it serviced in November I have received 3 emails from the Dodge dealership wanting to buy it back and offering almost 90% of what I paid for it. Not a trade in allowance, cash money. They're that desperate for inventory. Supply and demand.
  17. Yes they were, right down the road from here AKA Talbotville.
  18. I have a 2016 Scat Pack with about 10,000 miles on it. Since having it serviced back in November I've received 3 emails from the dealership offering to buy it back. Not a trade in allowance, cash money. Up here there is very little inventory and they're so desperate for vehicles they're offering almost 90% of what i paid for it.
  19. Between staff off sick and limits to the hours a flight crew can work they're probably having a tough time right now keeping the operation running.
  20. Wakened this morning by a cramp in my left calf. I managed to get to my feet to try and walk it off but I lost my balance and fell backwards into the tv set knocking if off it's stand and me landing on the floor. Right now I have a gash on my back and ache in places I didn't know could ache.
  21. Had my 2016 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack (10,000 miles) serviced at the dealership last month before putting it away for the winter. About 2 days later I received an offer from them to buy it for more than 90% of what I paid for it. Not a trade in allowance, I didn't have to buy anything. They would rather pay up for a car they know than cross their fingers at an auction.
  22. They're a lot of fun. I've got about 10,000 miles on my 2016 Scat Pack. Something my grand father always told me...."you gotta blow them out once in a while". Enjoy.
