Congrats on the sale! I would have loved to purchase it but funds are to tight for me! All the best in the new home . We have Rogers but try convincing bell to give you a discount/bundle thing or trial.
Oh I know Bell will treat me well they always do for my loyalty. What is your experience with Rogers? Good or bad or neutral? Chris
I have everything with Rogers......including Cell (I phone), TV Cable, Internet and Home Phone. My payment package is pretty decent, and the service and reception has been great so far. My Rogers internet is fast and reliable, and I really enjoy Rogers Cable TV with the PVR recorder, extra movie channels and lots of good HD channels too.
I have never had any real problems with Rogers either. My best advice like above is to haggle the best you can. Walk into Rogers and say well I had bell want to change but why should I, and do the same but vice versa for Bell. You might be surprised at what you can walk away with. If Bell has been great in all services than it might be one I would check out first. Inform them you have the bundle, chop some prices. Happy hunting
Was rear-ended pretty hard yesterday afternoon. About $2600 worth of damage to the R/T. The rear bumper was pushed up into the trunklid, jamming it. There's a crease in my spoiler, the taillights are cracked, and the left side of the dual exhaust is pushed about 4" to the left. The right side is pushed maybe 2" to the right. The Malibu that hit me was a write-off, but the Lincoln Aviator that hit HIM had not a scratch on it.
That's okay. It'll be fixed. I won't accept anything short of perfection on the repair job, especially since the dumb soccer mom b*tch on the cell phone will be paying out of her ass. On another note, I had the best idea. Anyone ever watched the Disney version of "Beauty and the Beast"? Remember how her name was "Belle"? I'm going to get two vanity plates; one that says "THEBEAST" for the R/T, and for my upcoming mystery sports car, "BELLE". Cheesy, but IMO awesome!
anyone know ( James ) what needs to be changed when importing a porsche into canada?? What aditional costs besides paying the 13% tax will be incurred?? 997tt or GT3 im talking about... just doing a lil research.. Thanks
If it is less than 15 years old you will also have to pay the 6.1% duty for a total of 19.1%. Plus the RIV fees and isnpection fees = http://www.riv.ca/Home.aspx
None except daytime running lights. When you send it to porsche for an inspection and you decide to buy the car have them program the lights.
Ferrari signs 11 year old Montreal racer..... http://sports.sympatico.ca/home/ferrari_signs_11-year-old_montrealer_lance_stroll_to_join_driver_academy/f4555df8 I wonder how he got that deal ?
Be sure to watch the video too..... only in Canada could laws be this rediculous. http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/01/20/man-faces-jail-after-protecting-home-from-masked-attackers/ Man faces jail after protecting home from masked attackers Ian Thomson moved to a rural homestead in Southwestern Ontario to lead a quiet life investing in a little fixer-upper. Then his neighbours chickens began showing up on his property. He warned his neighbour, then killed one of the birds. The incident began six years of trouble for Mr. Thomson that culminated early one Sunday morning last August when the 53-year-old former mobile-crane operator woke up to the sound of three masked men firebombing his Port Colborne, Ont., home. I was horrified, he said. I couldnt believe it. I didnt know what was happening. I had no idea what was going on. So Mr. Thomson, a former firearms instructor, grabbed one of his Smith & Wesson revolvers from his safe, loaded it and headed outside dressed in only his underwear. He exited his house and fired his revolver two, maybe three times, were not sure. Then these firebombing culprits, they ran off, said his lawyer, Edward Burlew. His surveillance cameras caught the attackers lobbing at least six Molotov cocktails at his house and bombing his doghouse, singeing one of his Siberian Huskies. But when Mr. Thomson handed the video footage to Niagara Regional Police, he found himself charged with careless use of a firearm. The local Crown attorneys office later laid a charge of pointing a firearm, along with two counts of careless storage of a firearm. The Crown has recommended Mr. Thomson go to jail, his lawyer said. His collection of seven guns, five pistols and two rifles was seized, along with his firearms licence. Mr. Thomson said he lives in fear that his attackers will return and has taken to arming himself with a fire extinguisher. I dont have enemies, said the soft-spoken man, who now studies environmental geosciences full-time at Brock University after being injured in a workplace accident. I dont know that many people. Im a quiet man. I just want to go back to my life and be able to live out my days in relative peace. Mr. Thomsons is the latest in a series of high-profile cases in which people have been charged after defending their homes and businesses against criminals. Central Alberta farmer Brian Knight became a local hero after shooting a thief who was trying to steal his ATV. He pleaded guilty to criminal negligence earlier this month. In October, Toronto shopkeeper David Chen was acquitted of forcible confinement charges after he tied up a repeat shoplifter and demanded he stop raiding his grocery store. Their cases are renewing calls for Canada to introduce a version of the Castle Doctrine found in many U.S. states, which allows citizens to defend their property with force. I hear some people, some being police officers, some being Crown attorneys, some being ordinary people, say we dont want vigilantism, to which I can only give an emphatic pardon me? Mr. Burlew said. When youre under attack, its not a vigilante act. Vigilantism talks about vengeance and retribution. This is about saving your life and saving your property. Im sure that will be recognized at trial, but why would a citizen, where its so obvious that what he was doing was protecting himself during a continued attack, be put to the expense of a trial? Its demeaning. Canada allows people to claim self-defence for using force, including guns, to protect their life as long as the force is reasonable and they believe they have no other options. If the public are wondering can you run out of your house and [fire a handgun at an intruder], the bottom line is, according to the laws of Canada, no, you cant, said Constable Nilan Dave of the Niagara Regional Police Service, which charged Mr. Thomson. Thats why the courts are there, to give a person an opportunity to explain their actions. Mr. Burlew, a Toronto-area lawyer whose practice mainly consists of firearms-related charges, said he is trying to hire a psychiatrist to prove that Mr. Thomson feared for his life when he grabbed his revolver. A target shooter and hunting-safety instructor, Mr. Thomson had the skill to shoot his attackers if hed wanted to, Mr. Burlew said, but missed on purpose. Police said no one was injured in the shooting and the attackers got into a car and sped off. They charged Randy Weaver, 48, of Port Colborne, and Justin Lee, 19, of Welland, with arson in December, alleging the men and a third suspect intentionally set the home on fire while the homeowner was inside. Mr. Thomsons neighbour, who had received a suspended sentence for uttering threats against Mr. Thomson in 2007, has not been charged in connection with the attack on his house. Mr. Thomson said he has added extra security to his home after the firebombing and hardly sleeps anymore. The charges, he said, have destroyed him. This is just an absolute nightmare, this whole thing, he said. People need to know that this is what can happen to you and which side of the victim line do you want to stand on? Lying down dead or in court? Thats the way it seems it has to go. National Post [email protected]
