This question probably belongs to the auto chat group but don't want to start a new thread in case of being flamed. All I wanted to know is if a Honda dealership can transfer inventory from another dealer. I know some of the other manufacturers can do that, but wondering if honda can say like from Destination Honda to Richmond Honda. Thanks!

Yes cars can. However, I believe it's a deal made between the dealerships and nothing with Honda Canada. You might even have less buying power if you get a dealership to bring the car in from another dealership.

Okay thanks. Reason why I ask is because I ordered a car at a dealer but they aren't willing to budge on pricing and I just recently found out my friend knows someone that works at another dealer and might be able to get me a deal. Problem is I don't want to reorder again as it's gonna take 2-3 months.

wait.....2-3 months wait sounds more like a dealership is ordering in from the production line and yes in that case, the dealer may not budge on pricing. If the car is coming from dealership to dealership within metro vancouver, you should have your car in a couple days not months.

If you've already put in your order, you probably also gave a non-refundable deposit. Depending on the deal that you might get from the other dealer, it may not be worth the trouble.

Yeah, it was ordered from production line. It's currently on its way from factory to the dealership. My deposit is refundable so that's not a worry, I can always walk away from it. I'm gonna see if the dealer would give me accessories instead. I might just stay as is. If the dealer is able to transfer this car, I was gonna use it as a bargaining chip. But from what I'm assuming now, the dealer probably can't transfer it then. Oh wells, learned something for the future.

Anyone ever ship a TV before?

I'm moving back to Vancouver and haven't been able to sell my 40" TV that isn't a significant loss. I checked Canadapost and it seems like it's only about $50-60 to ship it.. I know it might end up breaking but I have all the original packaging and what not.

Can't really decide if $50-60 is worth the gamble of losing the entire TV or just sell it for cheap and "lose" the $300.

It should be fine being shipped in the original packaging, I mean that's how it got to the store in the first place. Just make sure you get insurance on it.

I dont' think so, it is also only the box few rows too.
To add to this, can't really comment on specifics, but when there is a D-Box seat that is not reserved, it will not move or anything. It will just be a normal seat. So if you happen to have booked D-Box, I'm sure you can ask them to "disable/turn off" the seat, while still having a valid ticket for that seat.

Thanks for the info.

My wife's sister told her that she had a bad time with dbox, so my wife was worried that she wouldn't like it. My friend bought tickets a while ago for Rogue One, so she was stuck. Fortunately, the intensity can be adjusted on the seat. She had it cranked 20 min into the movie, and loved it. I thought it was awesome, as well.

Marine batteries are more shock proof.. think about being on BC ferry.. those things shake like crazy.. so Marine type accessories are usually design for that account.

The crim on one looks really weak sauce! I hope you have the right crimper!!

The metal crimp-on one is the worst, it's probably the most susceptible to oxidation and corrosion, like rust on top of the regular powdery acid corrosion stuff.

If your battery cables have already been previously chopped off and don't have an eyelet-style terminal to bolt onto the marine terminals, this one is probably better:

the brass version is $6.99 each, vs $3.99 of the lead style.

Both lead and brass are up there in the top in terms of conductivity, depending on your sources they will say one is better than the other, but there isn't much difference. I like using the brass ones because it's more solid in construction, and all late model cars use plated brass terminals from the factory anyway.

Oh yeah, if you get the red and black painted terminals, make sure you check the contact surfaces aren't painted over, because sometimes you get defective ones like that lol. Just clean it through with a terminal brush.

Bought something from Best Buy for boxing day and since it wasn't available in any stores they'd have to send it to me from the warehouse using Canada Post. Expected delivery is tomorrow, and I've been tracking the shipment and the last time I saw it, it was "In Transit" (like a few hours ago). Just checked it now and the tracking number doesn't even work. Anyone know why it doesn't work now?

I parked at an impark garage on Broadway beside Original Joe's and wasn't aware that they closed at 10PM. I found that out at 10:18pm. I'm a dumb ass...

My question is if anyone knows if they just ticket all the cars in there when closing or tow them out all at once? I'm heading there tomorrow at 6am hopefully when they'll be open and am praying that my car will still be there.

Going on a long shot here, but has anyone ever done anything this stupid and able to give me some insight as to what to possibly expect? I know I'll have a ticket for sure which I'm happy to pay, I'd just hopefully like to get there and not find that my cars been towed. :(

I parked at an impark garage on Broadway beside Original Joe's and wasn't aware that they closed at 10PM. I found that out at 10:18pm. I'm a dumb ass...

My question is if anyone knows if they just ticket all the cars in there when closing or tow them out all at once? I'm heading there tomorrow at 6am hopefully when they'll be open and am praying that my car will still be there.

Going on a long shot here, but has anyone ever done anything this stupid and able to give me some insight as to what to possibly expect? I know I'll have a ticket for sure which I'm happy to pay, I'd just hopefully like to get there and not find that my cars been towed. :(

I've done this before. Parked in an underground impark lot downtown and when I got back to my car, the gate was closed. Called them and they sent a guy over to open the gate for us. Didn't even get a ticket lol.

The question is what are you trying to use it for? Reset/ Diagnostic/ Reprogramming?

What kind of car are you trying to use it on.

These things are extremely basic, so depending on what you are trying to do you might not be able to get the info you need.


Anyone ever try these cheap chinese OBDII readers?

don't remember the reviews when I got it, but my gripes are similar to what people on there are saying... wobbly chairs, finish on the wood is really poor (bad heat resistance, very easily chipped/scratched), the wood itself is poor quality (you can tell from the underside where there is no finish)

seems like most positive reviews are from people who either aren't using it themselves or haven't used it for long

I'm sure there's someone on here that follows these things, I know NSX's aren't terribly common but just out of curiosity what sort of price range do drivers condition (some cosmetic flaws, but mechanically solid) ones tend to land in? Manual trans, JDM or USDM doesn't matter, and I assume early, non-special edition models are the least expensive.

Re-use-it center on the way to Whistler. Temps and vacationers who purchase equipment sometimes sell them there before leaving.

It's not so much how much you wear but rather what you wear. No point in wearing a 5 layers if it gets wet and frozen.

A nice thick jacket and sweats under a waterproof jacket and pants with boots / toque and mitts is enough.

I hope you were using a bag and a HEPA filter, otherwise you're just shooting some of what you sucked up back into the air. Shop vacs are not really designed to be used at home. As for 100 bucks, you're limited to vacs that do very little.

So, my mother-in-law is getting pretty old. She has a freezer full of sockeye salmon. Frozen whole. She says they're pretty old, but I checked last night and they look fine - on the outside. The only way to see if they're not freezer burned is to thaw them. I'm not going to do that, because then I have to dress it and so on. If someone wants to check one out and it is good, you can have the rest of them. Probably 12 large wild sockeye from the mouth of the Fraser (Adams River run). Hand picked and frozen by me on the day or after the day they were caught. I only get sockeye during the Adams River Run years. So they could be 4, 8, or 12 years old. I doubt 16 years, but who knows?

She just wants them out. It would be a shame to throw them out. If nobody wants them, I'll offer it to a mink farm or something........... oh, I hate waste.

RS BBQ!?!?!?!


If you only want one, that's okay, too. You try it and if you stop posting in a day or two, we'll know why, Gulolololololol. If it's good, then everybody else can have one until they're gone. First person to reply or send PM get's choice of taking one, some, or all.



BTW, when I say whole, I mean it has everything on..... not spayed, neutered or otherwise (head, fins, and tail on). Find some roe as a bonus, although sockeye roe is not as good as chum roe.

if she wants to get rid of them I would be more then happy to take them off her hands and make indian candy in my smoker in the spring time!

My wife used to make awesome candied salmon. So good that the natives wanted the recipe, lol. The secret is in the use of Mirin (cooking wine). Don't think natives ever used that in their recipes.

She also made salmon fish cakes to die for.

BTW, miscalculated the amount. Close to 30, so once murd0c get's his fill, the rest will be up for grabs.

For my sandwiches, I've been buying larger pieces of ham and hand-slicing them instead of buying deli meat (saves quite a lot of money).

Can anyone recommend me a good solid knife? Or something that could help a noob cut thinner slices (electric knife, maybe?) Thought about getting a meat slicer as I've used them before, but it seems a bit overkill.

An electric knife is a bit overkill. all you really need a sharp knife, check over at knifewear on main st. They have all sorts of knives to choose from and im pretty sure you'll find something you need.

Yes, they are very reliable - from my experience:

2004 Nissan Maxima LE - reliable with regular maintenance

2004 Infiniti G35 - reliable with regular maintenance

2004 Infiniti FX45 - reliable with regular maintenance

2010 G37xS - super reliable

2013 G37x - super reliable

2012 FX35 - super reliable

2015 Q50s - super reliable


Maintenance is very fairly priced and most indy mechanics can work on these cars. They are generally very easy to diagnose and repair.

Ya I know right! Growing up I was more of a Honda/Acura kind of guy (we still have an RSX in the family) but I always loved the look and sound of Infiniti. I sort of got everyone in my family into an Infiniti car lol!

The QX70 you are referring to is the new name for the FX35. They are pretty similar unless some new major technology came out since. My sister and mom were rear ended in the 2012 FX35 and the damage to repair the vehicle was 15k. Thank goodness they came out with minimal injuries. I can't attest to other angles of collision but in this case, the car did its job in protecting the occupants. This happened last summer.

Lexus is without a doubt very reliable much like Infiniti. Japanese makes are just reliable in general and with the new designs of Lexus vehicles, I would not hesitate to buy one.

At this point, I would say it boils down to the driving experience, not safety or reliability. I've driven and been in a passenger of Lexus vehicles. The dang things are smooth and quiet, but lack emotion and character and I just couldn't replicate the drivers feel that I received from Infiniti. Mind you this is subjective.

The Infiniti felt raw, powerful, grunty, and filled with personality which made the overall driving experience fun - for me. And I always felt they looked more aggressive and elegant too. But lately Lexus vehicles have been living up to this statement.

the vicks one (at least the one i had) cost $2x.00 at superstore and did not have any scent or anything, just add water.

tbh i'm a little surprised you need it in our climate. we do not have dry air. our kids needed some moisture in the air in the summer, we just left a bowl of water out and seemed to do the trick so we gave the vicks away. when it's on it has a little motor sound where as a bowl of water is silent :lol

Why do people bitch about daylight savings time?

I LOVE when the sun sets at 9:00pm in the summertime. I love being outside all the time, staying fit and healthy. I love being on a patio or park table with peeps just chilling till late at night yet still wake up refreshed the next day because the sun is rising earlier.

Finally, being outside for longer means a higher probability of paying for goods and services which is good for our economy.

Is the timer switch the sole control for the fan? or is there another bypass on/off? And assuming it's 120V at home? Wish you had a pic lol

If it's the only switch for the fan, just remove it and install a single pole switch between the blue (load) and black (line/supply) wires.
The neutral should just be there to complete the circuit to allow the timer electronics to operate, you would just cap it off with a wire nut.
If you straight up connect the blue and black wires your fan would be on 24/7 lol.

Find one at the dollar store, rip out the bottom prong.

Our old bathroom had an old school razor outlet, so we bought a 1 outlet to 3 from the dollar store and modified it so it would fit in the old school outlet.

When we renovated the bathroom, we replaced it with a modern GFCI.

Canned Dolmades (Grapevine leaves stuffed with rice and ground beef).

How are they compared to the Dolmades that you get in the restaurant?

Is there a recommended brand?

If I want to order a bunch, what's the best way? Restaurants I've called charge menu price for the number of platters it takes for the quantity I want.


EDIT: I went to the local Greek market and picked up a can of Krinos Papa John. 4 bucks for 400g/12 pieces. For a canned product, it's pretty good. There's no ground beef, but I'd rather brown my own than fatty canned cow. It's kept in olive oil, so i placed a piece on toast to let it soak into the bread. Straight from the can is decent. It's even better when it's warm.

Does anyone know if Bilstein struts need to be unlocked before assembling them? The ones I just got weren't banded for shipping and they seem really short compared to the springs. They're 4600s if that matters.

Converts a 3 prong plug to a 2 prong one.

Ground wires exist for a reason, disabling them is like making an extension cord that's male at both ends.

It seems like I'm searching for a unicorn here, can anyone help me out?

Looking for a bluetooth keyboard that is full sized, non-chiclet keys, and has a numpad. I would prefer to not deal with USB dongles, hence the bluetooth.

Not aware of anything new that's similar.

Quick question about this intersection:

When there's 1 car each at opposing stop sign on Vanness and its green on Rupert, its standard "stop intersection" procedure where first person to arrive gets to go first unless its safe to do so for other driver. Is this correct?

What if its red on Rupert? Is it still the standard stop sign intersection procedure where its alternating cars going?

I've been going in this intersection lots lately and rules don't seem to apply when its red on rupert...

At regular 2-way stop signs, it's not whoever arrives first - it's whoever (I'm paraphrasing here) does the less dangerous manoever. Essentially anyone turning left from a 2-way stop sign has the last right of way.

Unfortunately not many people follow this so you just gotta judge and be careful.

why would it be alternating cars going? it's not a 4-way intersection... like inv4zn said, anyone turning left has the last right of way

Take out the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure.
You can then access it yourself.

Anyone happen to notice a rather large accident at Kensington and Canada way in Burnaby yesterday around 5pm? Mustve been 10+ cop cars + undercover cars/suv's and a car that was completely crushed from driving into a pole. The weird part is that for the amount of damage to the car it seems odd that he could've been going that fast in such a short distance unless he was going well over 100kmph+ on such a busy road in rush hour traffic to have the front of the bumper crushed to the point it was at. Drove past and 1 guy was sitting on the ground with blood running down his face while the passenger laid flat on the ground completely covered in blood and wasn't moving. Cops were acting like they didn't even care about trying to at least comfort the guys...unless the one guy was laid out flat on the ground dead....

On my dash cam when driving past you can see both guys but since it was raining its not the best visibility :(


I cant find anything about it...anyone know what happened?

What strikes me is that when I first got there I had waited a while before finally being able to drive past and there were no ambulances or fire trucks there even though they are literally behind Burnabys #1 fire hall...which they could've walked or ran to within a minute.

Drove past it again around midnight and cops were still there taking photographs.

Take down?

Wasnt a single thing about it that I could find on the news or online about it.

the last thing i'd wanna do is comfort a total fucking moron for pulling that shit in such a busy setting to begin with

act like an idiot, get treated like one.

without picture of the actual damage, i can only take your word on it. But if it's mangled that bad, chances are, he's one of those idiots who rip through Canada Way like they're trying to win Darwin awards.
