Hey, that sounds like fun! I have a nice, wet bog nearby. I'll go look at the 4sales right now!

A friend of mine has a DRZ400 or something that he's been trying to sell for years and years. Wants 2000 for it and won't budge at all on the price. The thing is, I'd love to get a dual sport and an extra set of wheels. I could keep road tires on it for the majority of what I do, then toss the knobbies onto it when I'm at the cottage and my dad wants to get onto the trails

These vape flat brim ricer WRX STIs are starting to piss me off. All they can do is go fast in a straight line. Come the highway ramps they get scared shitless while I cruise right pass them.

Been a while since I've commuted from Guelph to Markham. Today was the first day since last year at this time. Totally took for granted how awesome it was to leave from the Casa Loma area, boot up the dvp and deal with some traffic, instead of basically being forced to use the 407 because it's the difference between an hour drive an a 2.5 hour drive.

Can't wait until the field work starts and I'm getting paid for my commute. The work up near thunder Bay this summer is going to be a 2 hour and 50 minute drive to and from site every day.

There in lies your problem, krayzie, it's not your car, ..... you are wearing the wrong type of shoes ......

Get yourself a pair of these ....... adds about 50 HP.

Because I have a beautiful girlfriend?

But I also have a "friend that is a girl" from a couple years ago working up there. So, if you really think I should, then I will hum.

Well, having a beautiful girlfriend at home base is just fine and dandy.

However, a 5 hour a day commute makes no sense. Think of your health, loss of sleep, danger on the highway ....... your girlfriend will understand if you just come home on the weekends.

Explain to her that your "lady friend" in Thunder Bay is just a "friend" and that it would save money by you staying with her ...... plus you would eat healthier.

Now, if your friend can't accommodate you, I hear tell that ol @Tcoat left a gal up there a few years back, that is all heartbroken, and is just pining away ...... I'm sure she would put you up ....... however, she may expect something in return ........ your call ......
