Well, here's the result of a Canadian experiment: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/okotoks-drake-landing-solar-energy-repairs-future-1.7148389

Surely, in the USA, as well as Canada, a cheque dated Dec. 2018 is 'stall dated' and non-negotiable.

Why? Well -40F is not unheard of here and -30F is common. Cars run better when warm. Pretty simple. The car must be in neutral and the parking brake must be set or RS no work. Which small mistake might be fatal?

Not true. Both of my kids have MT cars with RS. It requires the driver to do a few things to enable the RS, but it ain't rocket surgery. YMMV of course.

I was one of those. Less than 3/4 of the way now, but time will tell. Most of my money is in the Canadian TSX which has not lost what the S&P has.

Elmer Gantry was drunk.

And Tequila makes it even better.

I did at lot of things in my youth that I wouldn't want the world to know of. Without them, my story would be beyond boring.

I believe you and the OP are occupying the same boat. Therefore I think we are in agreement. Possibly my lack of the written "gift of gab" started a misunderstanding.

I think not. Canada, I believe, has now stopped the inheritance of citizenship from those citizens born outside the country and who have never lived here.

Dealers don't make their big dollars on new car sales. They make them on the service floor. Being Canadian (where dealers are prohibited by law from charging more than MSRP) I've noticed a few 'extra' charges but less than $1K. Still, I think, they are saving their new stock for old...

The 60's for me. I got to go to the U after the sexual revolution and b4 herpes.

Build an igloo so you have a new house every night. That's what we do, beats vacuuming. It is possible that our days are shorter and colder than yours.

I used to tell people I get my money by "Standing at Stud". While no one believed me they also got the MYOB inference.
