I have a buddy that works for bmw and he sold his because he knew how much it would cost him to drive it in the next year as he racks more kms on it. Its a shame you pay top doller for premium cars but the reliability and affordability down the line suffers

Never had this issue. For every guy that tells me "oh man I know a guy who's BMW bankrupt him" we've had a number of the brand with no issue and my father is the man who kills the unkillable car always. I also take what techs for a certain marque say about theres with a grain of salt, when you only see the broken stuff all day you get jaded (no one brings in a flawless car and goes hey look at this, its flawless, its always the broken stuff). Great for opinions on what car go wrong and the cost, but generally a lot have negative brand loyalty it seems.

Most would agree audi and bmw are money pits. I forgot to mention Porsche lol

If the parts would not cost an arm and a leg then maybe I would agree with you. But to me premium price should equate super reliability...not the other way around.

What is your assessment based on? I think a lot of people are muddling the waters between repair costs and reliability. If a BMW goes 7 years and has 1 $4000 repair bill, would you say it's less reliable then a Ford Taurus that needs 8 $500 repairs in the same span? To me a money pit is a vehicle that needs ongoing, repeated service, all while declining in value. Yes BMW's cost more to service, just like a 40ft power boat needs more upkeep then an aluminum fishing rig, or a 3500sq ft house costs more to run then a 1800sq ft house.

Wet weather is on the way for Toronto and much of southern Ontario this week.
Environment Canada has issues a special weather statement for the GTA and several parts of the southern Ontario ahead of heavy rainfall that is expected to arrive on Tuesday.
“A Colorado low pressure system is expected to intensify into an early spring storm as it races across Lake Huron and central Ontario tonight. This weather system will bring a rainfall of 15 to 30 millimetres, most of which will fall tonight,” Environment Canada’s weather advisory read.

<iframe name="fsk_frame_splitbox" id="fsk_frame_splitbox" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: initial; border-style: none; outline: 0px; line-height: 1.6; vertical-align: baseline; width: 603px; height: 0px;"></iframe>

The national weather agency added that a cold front will also hit the region early Wednesday morning, bringing strong southwesterly winds.
“Wind gusts of 80 to 85 km/h are quite possible early Wednesday morning,” the statement continued.
“Isolated power outages may be issues to deal with due to the strong winds. If the early spring storm becomes a little stronger than currently expected, wind warnings may be required.”
Tuesday and Wednesday will see daytime highs of 4 C and sunshine is expected to return on Thursday.
Below seasonal temperatures will be sticking around for the rest of the week.

I’m always amazed how the pressurized lines at 60-90 psi are less trouble than the low to no pressure drains. Oversizing seems to be an obvious answer but the accompanying velocity drop is often the bugaboo.

Yeah but if you think about the drains and what’s draining into them, as well as what sits in them it all makes sense.

most games the Leafs have ever won in a season - 45
most points ever scored in a season - 103
most wins for a Goaltender in a single season - 37 (Ed Belfour and Andrew Raycroft)


2017-18 Maple Leafs regular season is over....and if you watched the Leafs this season you saw records fall

most wins in franchise history at 49
most points in franchise history at 105
most home wins in franchise history at 29
a home game winning streak of 13 games

and Freddy Andersen set a new record of Goaltender wins at 38 with last night's season sweep of the Montreal Canadians

this team has serious depth....8 players with 40+ points....multiple 30+ goal scorers.....and the superstars are barely into their 20s......we got a 6'4" 235 pound wall of a starting goaltender and a backup tender who stands on his head whenever you ask him too....and we got one if not THE best coach in the league

this is a damn good hockey club.....finally

we've got a tough road in the playoffs....this team could go out in the first round....but we could also go the whole way and win the big fucking deal

Yup me too. I normally leave in in 4 Auto so it just comes on whenever it detects slip. But yesterday I said fk it and left it in 4 Hi. Those ice pellets are like driving thru wet cement. I've never seen such an accumulation of these things.

When I got home and got out of my truck, I was walking ON about 3" of ice pellets. I didn't sink into it. They sustained my weight. It was fkn nuts.

As of right now, our street and side streets around me are impassable in a car because of slush depth. Dropped Kath off at VP and Sheppard, during my round trip, stopped counting cars stuck either on the street or at end of driveways at two dozen. I'm sure they appreciate the citys position on no plowing as did the one on Birchmount who hooked the berm then smashed to bits when it hit a tree.

Well strap your seat belt on for this one. Just West of the 401 / Hwy 8 exit, SUV spun n plowed backwards into the rail hard, came to a stop at approx 45 deg n facing against traffic. We watched an OPP cruiser (that we'd been following for about 10 minutes) not so much as slow down let alone stop to check if everyone was ok.

[WTF]

John Tory is getting a love note from me on this bullshit excuse to not clear this stuff off the streets

[03svt]

Main streets are plowed but side streets in my area haven’t been touched, truck was spinning in 4wd all the way up my street on the way to office.

[RedSN]

Yeah, not buying this "flooding" BS excuse. Give the plow drivers some credit, they seem to be very good at keeping the blade up against the curb and clearing the snow from the gutters and drains.
The drains are clogged right now BECAUSE they haven't cleared the snow/ice/slush/shit.

[Blackmare]

Main roads and side streets plowed here in Woodstock. Sewer drain in front of my house was plowed clear along with those I can see in front of neighbor's houses. BS on the no plowing decision.

Really snotty sections across 407 E towards Oshawa yesterday, oddly worst of it closer to the city, ditches littered with cars n trucks. Same with 401 West once we were past Milton. Accidents we saw, most appeared to have caught slush on the shoulder n sucked into the ditches or just spun out.
Wanna bet how many involved all season tires n driving too fast? Ram with auto 4x4 + snow tires from hell meant no problems, drove upwards of 500kms yesterday.

Saw my neighbour a few houses down get stuck on the road at 1:00am trying to get onto driveway so went to help push the car - noticed all season tires, completely worn, and VW FWD. Not even sure how that car even made it out and back to get stuck on the street. 20 minutes later the neighbour across the street in a fairly new Mazda6 got stuck trying to get onto their driveway - all season tires and FWD again (my guess is they thought newer car and all season tires so no winters needed.

On Monday morning, I cleared as much ice off of my truck as I could then drove right to the spray and wash and got rid of all of the rest. I would hate the thought of being responsible for someone swerving off the road because they were trying to duck flying ice off my truck.

Same here in the city, hoping for the same thing.

think about this

if you get hit by ice, or a loose 2x4 flying off of another vehicle you have zero recourse unless the offending vehicle stops.


Well thankfully it was only freezing rain and ice pellets falling from the sky on the weekend. If it had of been freezing rain, ice pellets AND 2x4's all mixed into that same storm, it would have been a real mess. Have you ever tried to clear frozen 2x4's off your vehicle in the morning?
