Does anybody have experience with getting out of a lease?

Headbanger ,
You can transfer your lease to another customer, talk to your dealership about it, and you can post it online and have someone take over your lease payments.. You may want to throw an incentive to have people jump on in quicker, like having the extra rims your purchased thrown in to grab peoples attention quicker, should bring it to a meet, and have one of the guys with a good camera take some nice photos of it, ill put a sticker over your dent |

http://leaseorrelease.com/ or plain ol' Kijiji. Once you find someone to take over you go to the dealership, pay a transfer fee and then the remainder of the lease is signed over to the other person. People wanting to leave their lease usually offer incentives to entice others (winter tires, rims, cash...) |

Sadly, this is probably the worst time of year to try to unload a small sports car.

Decided to slap my GoPro on Friday afternoon going home from work.
Just experimenting, a little long, but check out a Toronto guest in front on me… [ame]http://youtu.be/3KCEU7ZHO-Y[/ame] |

I don't know why but.....
After watching the sun and clouds reflect off Mikes doors and Fly like an eagle playing on the radio. I have an urge to smoke a bag of weed which will come in handy to relieve the kink in my neck from watching the video in the first place. Thanks Mike

I work about 15 hours a week. And about 60 hours a week in the summer. It covers rent and car expenses for the whole year. I'm just lucky to be a registered professional so my pay is a bit better than most students. OSAP is a pain, but at least they give you a shit ton of money compared to Quebec.

I agree, it was only an experiment until the white FRS from TO was spotted. Here is my old Mike86CelicaGTS when she was New….. miss her….. She lives in PEI now with my brother-in-law. In good hands. |

It was a beautiful afternoon at Calabogie - I did 230 km on the track (open lapping, no run groups) for $200. Almost as much as I get for a full track day with 2 run groups. [ame="http://youtu.be/U6AGdD7j6c4"]http://youtu.be/U6AGdD7j6c4[/ame] |

Holy crap, did you run non-stop? That's about 1h30-1h40 of track time!

I didn't check my mileage but I was probably close to Norm. I was trying to run 20 minutes on / 10 off. |

Cooked pads/rotors
Hmmm.
On the drive in today I noticed that the car wasn't braking as well as usual. When I got to the office I had a look at the front rotors and they are both scored like crazy! The grooves are clearly visible by eye and when I ran a finger along the surface and I could feel some pretty significant ridges all the way along the radius of the rotor. Rear rotors are fine. I definitely didn't see this at the track yesterday, so I either picked up some debris going through the various construction zones yesterday or something happened to the OEM pads when I faded them out that caused it to happen today once they were cool. I'll post pictures tonight when I pop the pads off. Any recommendations for good rotors locally? |
