Yes, house prices be crazy up here. This is what $500,000 gets you in the village where my mom grew up. This bungalow is about 20 minutes closer to Toronto than the house I showed above.

At least that dance wasn’t with a piece of equipment at the scrap yard.

it's likely gonna get deleted, but the termites coming out of the woodwork is strong with this one:

Here comes the mighty "forum police b*tch" who harrasses and disrespects disabled veterans with PTSD but supports dudes who break the law and commit stunt driving. "The true definition of a man without a backbone who can only fight using his fingers and keyboard" The only life you have is being a forum bi*tch so I find it amusing how you use authority to ban members for expressing freedom of speech when its something you never fought for.
How about you try earning a real badge? - a man like you with his tail stuck between his legs could clearly never accomplish such

Its time we spill the beans, you're a stolen valor piece of shit with a big mouth who gets his fancy tickled in the car forum community. You'd be stupid even attempting to go to another BRZ\FRS meet, it took some time but certain individuals on here already know who you are.
Good luck!

Oh, hell yeah. Especially if you had experience with it over its service life.

Well, you could always donate it to some school if you don't think that's going to happen. All my college's machines were well-used donations.

That’s a good idea. I’ll keep that in mind if I chose not to use it.

Sometimes I wonder if people these days aren't as good at communication anymore, maybe because of the internet but not really sure.

As an example, I follow a Youtuber in Japan who's really good at documenting the culture, the food, the people, and whatnot in Japan.

In a recent Q&A stream, someone asked a question about if he'd do a stream or docu-video on "race tracks". His response seemed odd (he mentioned gambling and non family friendliness not fitting the channel, so no). But after having gone to Japan and stuff, I've only seen gambling when it comes to horse racing, not car racing.

So since I was curious for clarification, I went on his channel's Discord (chat network) and asked in the chat room about his latest videos if anyone knew if he had elaborated in past videos or posts on if he dislikes all (Japanese) racing in general or stuff like horse racing specifically.

The main moderator of his live streams from Youtube and Discord responded and basically said unilaterally that they all fit the same genre and so the Youtuber doesn't want to cover it based on that "dismissal" in the recent video.

Then that moderator replied again and others did as well, and started going off with their own opinion of how the YT-er seems against it in general just from that one mention in the recent video and they'd rather he just do what he normally makes videos on.

Someone else said:

watching the streams for a while now I think that his main focus is on bringing people closer to Japan, it"s culture, food, society and even some history.

But their responses are all very subjective and basically sort of answered for the YT-er rather than just saying "yeah he's elaborated on this issue before" or "hm, that's a good question since his answer was pretty generalized, maybe ask in a future video?"

Personally I'm fine if he doesn't care about motorsports/car culture in Japan (lots of YT-ers in the space anyway already) but the weirdly opinionated responses from his moderators is kinda weird.

And personally I disagree with them at least in part. But that's a different story.

But anyway, it's just something I feel like I've noticed the past few years. People are super happy to give their opinion as though it's a fact, rather than considering first if it should really be that or not. Seems like a depressing trend.

Plus, the main mod also ended with "i would rather he cover subjects hes passionate about" when I never questioned why he can't or refuses to cover the subject. Only if anyone knew if he'd elaborated on what he meant by it.

Hi all, happy New year.

I tested positive for covid in December. I never got a fever, never lost smell or taste, lungs were clear, and never had oxygen saturation under 97. It was just a bad cold for me, wife, and youngest kid.

Hope you all are doing well.

Who knows. I hadn't been anywhere but grocery and hardware store, with mask.
