I feel sorry for some kids these days we had better used car options. My brother was two years older, so when he was 15/16, kids could get some cool cars on part time jobs. Like around 84/5 time...
I rented a car dealer license in the 90's from a semi retired guy. He died this year. Anyway, he came to Canada in 1948 from Rome. Somehow he started a driving school in Toronto. He noticed his...
Just thought of this. Family friends have retired very well. One was an engineer on the BC Ferries and the other a school teacher. She ended up getting a PHD and ran the special needs program for a...
The U.S. does have more variety to chose. I've lived in Phoenix (paradise valley), Lake Tahoe area (incline village), Seattle and Eastern Washington (Wenatchee). All had benefits and negatives, but...
I wouldn't totally blame the rich! Yes, the middle class has done very well over the last 15years. Another area that has improved over the last 30 years is retirement savings. There is middle class...
First the Z car, mine was the same color as the one pictured. My Dad was the original Z owner in the family. He had a Karmann Ghia and crashed it the day I was born in 72. He bought a new 240 to...
Its mainly the timing belt. Needs to be done every 30k miles or every 5 years. About $1500 or so. Since you are there doing the belt, might as well do the water pump. Other little things can pop up,...
Sports cars have been mostly 928S, followed by 944's (turbo and non). Did have a 1989 911 C4 and also a 81 911SC targa. I currently have three 928's, two 85 S models and a 1989 S4. Lost count on how...
Watcha got?
I'm having an interesting week with cars. Have 3 that have developed coolant leaks in the past week. First one is my Mercedes 420SEL, the radiator has a crack, second one is my...
I do miss the electricity costs in Eastern Washington. Since the county owns two big dams on the Columbia River, power is crazy cheap. They have a $7.70 bill processing fee and then it plus 2.5 cents...
I didn't want to claim BC and Vancouver as having the lowest property tax in Canada, without doing some research. It turns out I was right....
My expenses here in BC are about double over my expenses when I lived in Washington State. Property tax in WA is almost why bother collecting it. I'll have to look up the bills (accountant pays...
Lake Washington is a nice area. BC property tax is reasonable for Canada. Believe we are lower VS Ontario. Our provincial highest income tax bracket is also lower. But our fuel costs are the highest...
The only thing I don't like about places like Toronto is the cold in winter. I don't like snow and salt on the roads. Here its mostly low 40's, you can drive an old car on sunny days and not worry...
Cold winters and snow is why I don't like Toronto. Here last year it snowed once and it lasted 3days. Usually during the day its well above freezing, 40's to low 50's. That's liveable. Here its the...
Not much to add. I don't like ethanol fuels, it doesn't store well. I add stabil to anything that sits all winter. I also change the fuel filters, because the stabil usually doesn't reach them and...
We only have the Fraser River here. Its o.k. but has lots of dead heads and logs along it. Plus its pretty dirty. Well I do drive to Eastern Washington and the Columbia River. It has a few dams on...
West Van and Vancouver, there is a tear down lot in point grey for $20million are expensive. If you want waterfront here, the best place is Tsawwassen. A smaller normal house on an o.k. lot can be...
I do like fresh water. I'm thinking of getting a cabin on a local lake here. Its a very small lake though. The main reason we have family friends who have a cabin there. My parents group of friends...
We do take it for granted here. It would probably cost you over $20million to do a house like that in Florida. Ontario is all brick and stone houses. Can't remember why. I really missed wood and NW...
I have to get a better paying job!

Yeah, I bet everyone here has peed off the back of a boat. Even if you have a cabin and head.
Ah the good news.... They all still wave when we drive by each other. They haven't said anything. :biggrin.:
Its a country thing and benefit of being rural!!!! I mostly smoke outside, so its more convenient to just pee outside.
Other benefit is being able to burn garbage.
