    Edmonton oilers suck.... A venting thread

    S & L for sure. Hopefully Hall can turn the corner and mature somewhat and prove me wrong. Hockey is so much faster these days compared to when i used to really watch and was a fan... prey for more (any) snow...

    Edmonton oilers suck.... A venting thread

    #4 is playing like a liability rather than an asset. Really too bad to see, especially with Seguin as scoring leader. I know some of this needs to be attributed to how the team "develops" their top players, but i have a sneaking suspicion if the draft picks were reversed, Hall would not be the...

    Diamond Drive removal and inspection tortural

    Meierjn : i believe it is #14 on the parts explosion. I have been researching this too, as i have an '11 as well with 1500 miles, no problems yet, but don't want to gamble with a known issue on these bearings.

    How many grease points on M8 (2011)

    Hi all, getting the M8 ready for season, just wondering how many grease zerks (total) on the sled. The service manual i managed to find did not list how many grease points there are on these sleds. Just don't want to miss one. Thanks!

    OK, So if you had $5000 in expendable cash to invest into something...

    My basic thoughts: 1) if you have any outstanding debt pay it off. 2) pay against your mortgage 3) RRSP's are better suited for people in the highest income tax bracket (as deaner accurately outlined the most important feature of RRSP investment is the tax deferral until later in life when you...

    Most definitely i wasn't quoted the best price.... I just walked into the dealership off the street and have never done business there before so i'm assuming the real price would have been $1,000 less....maybe more?? i'm not 100% sure.
