Anyone have experience with black Gorilla lug nuts?

Wondering if they're reasonably resistant to rust.

ICBC just got rid of the 2nd driving test for full driving license. So 1 road exam and then 12 months you automatically get full license if you're record is clean!

Relatively.. not really tho. I don't care enough to swap them out, but they hold up better than OEM BMW black lugs for ref

apparently, I'm a little late to the game. It was introduced in April this year, implement officially 2026. But as you can imagine, if you only have your N now, why would you bother booking a 2nd road test to get your full driver's license knowing this is coming.

Apparently, cost saving measures and to clear up the backlog for road exams. Also a cost saving measures for See Lais in Richmond, now, they only have to pay off one examiner.

It's like they always knew that no amount of testing can fix Vancouver driver's so they said 'fuck it'.

Let these rolling land mines kill each other

Fuck we already have shit drivers in this city, I wonder how much an effect this will have.

I would assume they'll be handing out more failures for the initial driver exam, one would hope.

1st time hearing about this... does your typical sedan/SUV on the road all use aluminum lugnuts?

every shop you go to any shop (dealers, independents, tire shops, CT), the techs will use air or electric impact to loosen and tighten the lugnuts for efficiency purpose, no one will spend their time using an breaker bar to tighten then use a torque wrench to torque to specs, does that mean the lugnuts will inevitably fail at some point?

Most cars will come with steel lugs or bolts, other than some really specialty vehicles (some Lambos come with titanium bolts) they would be all steel. My experience with Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes have all been steel. My M3 uses steel bolts.

Probably zero considering people already drive without licenses, insurance, etc and the cops are too busy to do anything about it / lack of licensing doesn't prevent anyone from purchasing a vehicle.

The kid I sold my E36 to, didn't have a license, had fines for driving with a suspended license, well known to police, and all he had to do was call icbc and beg them to remove the block on vehicle transfer and that he promises to pay the fees.

I've thought this countless times in my life.

Watching shady dealer friends, or scammy finance bros all fall upwards, meanwhile breaking every societal rule they can with little to no consequence.

At the same time here we are being good salaried participants, paying our taxes and following the rules, yet we'd be the ones punished first if there's ever an opportunity to do so (i.e. making a mistake on your taxes, etc.)

I gotta admit that to be a successful criminal -- or at least, shady a$$ scammer of some sort -- you gotta have the smarts to pull it off. Unfortunately, I don't, esp in the quick thinking department, so that kind of rules out the criminal career path for me...

The next best thing would have been to marry rich. But damn... I messed that up as well LOL~

This is why shit is fucked.

Especially in our society (Channeling my inner Hondaracer here) where the criminal laws are so lax. Stealing sea cucumber is more punishable than sawing a dudes head off and eating his face.

This is pretty self-explanatory. You don't even need to hire a lawyer, just print this out and bring it to court with you

In the spirit of this thread's title, probably nobody will care, but there's word floating around that Aquapel is done with Canada. I'm probably going to stock up...

Apparently, they do. I believe if you check the applicator itself, there should be an "expiry" date, or something equivalent.

Having said that, like yourself, I had some sitting around for a few years and it was way past the expiry date. I used it anyway and it worked.
