    Kijiji Scams

    I've seen it both ways on the calls, sometimes its way faster and easier to get on the same page and make a deal. But the other times its even more of a waste of time. I had a guy call me about an outboard motor, talk for 15+ minutes about how its perfect for his boat, yada yada. . . then at the...

    Races

    If you want to try motocross I've heard really good things about the Alberta old timers (AOTMX) series. I haven't raced myself but I have a buddy who has for years and he loves it. I haven't looked in a while but I think there's lots of classes for different skill levels. Edit: I just realized...

    Million of unsafe vehicles on Canadian roads

    “Unfortunately in this country, if you want to know for sure whether there’s a recall issued on your vehicle, you have to pay attention yourself — especially in the case of a used vehicle, because the only name on record that the government would have or that the automaker would have is likely...

    Widescape WS250

    Has anyone had a chance to actually ride one of these? I saw in instagram they had a demo at allen creek recently, I'm curious how it did.

    This is sad. Woman killed while sledding

    The article I read mentioned it was a multi strand cable. Doesn't sound like fencing to me.

    Special Sledders

    Its not just sledders. A few years back on a quad rally my wife and I came up to a beaver dam crossing. Probably a dozen quads/SxS stuck in a traffic jam. We did what we assumed anyone else would and hopped off to help, running winch lines, pushing, wading through waist deep water to find the...

    Best way to get into Jet Boating?

    I know very little about jet boats but figured someone on here might be interested as it seems like the most reasonably priced boat I've seen in a while. I don't have any affiliation with the seller. https://www.infomall.ca/tradingpost.php?ad=1367529391

    Is it this challenging to find employees elsewhere?

    I notice a lot of you guys complaining about lack of skilled workers, but in my experience in oil and gas (plant operator) a lot of that comes from years and years of the companies themselves not letting people learn or get there hands dirty. Operators (not all but the ones with good work ethic...

    Iron horse trail

    I've been out of town for a week but I'd say its probably doable on a 4x4 quad or SxS. I wouldn't do it alone though, Most of the time there's nothing to winch to if you do get stuck. we had lots of snow this year so any shaded spots might be iffy depending how solid the snow is that day.

    Ford Expedition, GMC Yukon or??

    Some definitely have block heaters. Idk if its the model or the year but one of my coworkers has an atlas and has a block heater. On a related note hes had his 3 or 4 years now with no major issues.

    Chainsaw holder

    I think the kolpin could be rotated from what I remember? I had one a few years ago on my last quad and I liked it for the occasional use, but if specifically clearing trail it got kind of annoying to unscrew over and over. For that I'd prefer something you could just slide/drop the saw into...

    Sled deck on 1/2 ton?

    a single strap? definitely overkill. Just lift the track up and shut the tailgate.

    Why can’t we ride ditches in Alberta?

    I honestly always thought it was legal. I know ATV's or sleds are usually fine down the back alleys in Bonnyville or Cold lake as long as you don't drive like a jackass and you go straight to or from your house to the trail. I've ridden lots of ditches in Bonnyville MD and St. Paul county and...

    My experience with the Tesla Model 3

    I F'n hate when a cellphone update moves stuff around so I'm quite sure I don't want my expensive vehicle updating and changing features on me. Any way to prevent those on the tesla? or is it all mandatory as part of the terms and conditions when you buy one. It would be nice if you could wait a...

    Grizzly or kingquad

    Accessories might be harder to come by for the kingquad if they're less popular. I've definitely noticed with my viking that a lot of accessories are only made for can am or polaris models. I'm sure you could still find everything you need but you might not have the same selection. And same as...

    Building a garage-shop , need help

    Yes be careful with local codes. They often make little sense in my experience. My brother in law put up a pole barn a few year ago and because he was "residential" at 9.98 acres he had to follow different rules then if he was "agricultural" at 10+ acres. Specifically I think he said he needed...

    Regs for pulling trailer

    A family friend of ours traded in her car because she wanted something bigger to pull her horse trailer around. The dealer knew exactly what she wanted to do with it, and still sold her a PT cruiser. . . some people are clueless, and some dealers have no morals.

    onewheel

    These things look pretty fun. A few weeks ago the kids in the next campsite over from us had 2 of these and they were having a blast! seems like the batteries must be good cause they were doing laps for hours at a time.

    My experience with the Tesla Model 3

    Might've been covered already in the 80+ pages but have you had any issues with maintenance or warranty work? I've read that getting repairs done can be difficult, and tesla only replaces entire assemblies, not individual components. Just curious if you've had any experience with that?

    Hurtin’ Bertans are miserable! News headline!

    Way off topic but I highlighted the important part. My current job requires 10yrs service and being at least 40yrs old before being eligible for defined benefit. Even then I'm sure they would only go off base salary and exclude any type of bonus/OT/location allowance etc. I'm not miserable about...
