the service manager got in front of someone, stopped their car, and helped the lady disengage her parking brake.

Yes, this fucktard was driving with the rear tires locked up, and going sideways down the road.

Took me 1.5hrs to get here...normally 15 minutes. GAH! Stupid people. A fuel tanker was blocking the on ramp to the QEW where I normally get on so I had to drive across the damn city to get to the other one. Didn't get out of 3rd gear on the hwy, everyone was driving so damn slow.

Awd, good winter tires, snow mode, heated steering wheel and seat on made for a comfortable commute. Heated steering wheel is the best - never cared for it before but now after having one I want one for every car.

This car is pretty damn good in snow I'm impressed however almost every other car on the road on the way in was pretty shitty lol. 20-30 min commute became 1.5hrs rolling along.

heated steering wheel is nice doe.


I got up. looked at gogole traffic. nope.gif.
Took my time. Shovelled then left. Still took me just over an hour. Co-workers left normal time. Took them 2.5 hrs. So I saved some time but still sucked.

People were literally idling along in some spots. for no reason. GTF off the road.

It's not all about just not having a cold steering wheel. It's like heated seats - sure your seat isn't cold but better yet it's nice because it's warm. You also don't need a lot of things but doesn't mean it isn't better with them.

Engine's ticking, even when stored in the garage \:\( Either I need another valve adjustment, or FML bent valve?

Get rid of the EL bro. The car did well with over 300,000 km. Retire it at a high note

I took the 407 to work this morning, 407 was fine. But Mississauga Road was bad with the uphill south of Queens St. I took the side road but it was not plowed at all, pretty brutal even I have winter tires on a stock height Civic.

A retard on 407 lost control and did a 360 in front of me, good thing I saw it right away and put my flasher on and cars behind me slow down. 407 was clean and plowed, straight road. Not sure how the dude spun out. I blame it on All Season tires

1 litre of synthetic tranny fluid in the motor, and drive it for 500-800 km. drain the oil and it should be good. cheap fix before you rip the valve cover off.

we did that to my buddy's beater when his valves were ticking quite loud. What a night and day difference it made.

condo life FTW don't have to shovel

+1 or 2 or 1000 on heated steering wheel. it's a nice touch that's for sure.

i'm like one of 5 ppl left on my floor. cranking the Glee Christmas playlist on full blast off my laptop.

gonna take off early today to beat traffic. pick up a new pair of boots since i found out today my boots are cracked lol and then cook up a batch of chili.

Sounds similar to what people said about putting in Lucas oil, and/or a heavier weight oil. All it does is 'mask' the symptoms...

I'll bring the bitch into the dealer for a valve adjustment. Last time I had it adjusted at a indy mech, I don't even know if they did the work or not

Funny you mention that, I've already priced that out \:\)

In my case it's worth it since it's over 1k sq. ft. of driveway I have to shovel. Thinking of doing the solar thermal setup with some hot water tanks for dat efficiency \:D
