  1. I would assume 48 x 2 = $96.......$48 for two days is too cheap and they really want you to buy season permit vs. getting out what 4 times @ $48 for the same price as early bird permit.
  2. I found this posted on 23/24 permit fees - also states TBC. Permit Type Full By Dec 1 By Nov 1 Notes Seasonal $293.60 $243.60 $213.60 +processing fee 2000 model year and newer Classic $200.88 $170.88 N/A +processing fee 1999 model year and earlier Multi-day $48.06 – – minimum purchase of 2 consecutive days
  3. I guess you did not hear about the nice big fat permit increase for this year, clubs are all getting a raise and bit left over for the groomers and fuel to cover the extra hours..... On a serious note, was the ON permit prices actually released?
  4. Is that because you are also thinking we will be riding in April due to the great winter ahead of us ?!?!?
  5. Were you at the parry sound parking lot tonight where the 30,000 cruise ship is? Little car show there tonight - we were having dinner on the patio and saw a few cars and trucks come pull in. Don’t see to many vipers around anymore.
  6. Well, funny enough, I believe corn was the first to use GMO’s to turn it into super corn from a growth standpoint to keep up with that demand!
  7. All really good info, really makes one look past what is just in front of you - that most can’t be bothered to do, but like all else, certain people/groups will capitalize on that!
  8. I like your train of thought, Bill!
  9. Yep, sounds like providing both options to allow us the consumer decide what we want to do - not once again be forced for some to use something that may not be first, second, third, etc…choice. Funny enough, that’s how it used to be not so long ago - hmmm, wonder what changed…..
  10. Yes, it can be bad but the issue becomes magnified by sitting around - understand the shortcomings and act accordingly. I generally will try to take older gas not mixed and put in my vehicles - haven’t had an issue yet.
  11. I looks like it’s been updated Last time I was on it, it was outdated for sure since it listed gas station with no E, but they did now. It’s also based on a persons input vs fact if I’m not mistaken….no actual validation. I think only way to trust now a days is test for yourself, and even than who is to say this weeks tanker delivery doesn’t have all E gas and the one before didn’t.
  12. So $440 for early QC to a TBD early ON permit, that was what last year, around the $200 mark. The delta seems to be growing…. $ 440 for an annual trail permit purchased on or before December 9, 2023 $ 530 for an annual trail permit purchased after December 9, 2023 $ 900 for an annual trail permit sold in trail* $ 400 for an annual trail permit for antique snowmobiles (2003 and older) $ 285 for a 7-day trail permit $ 185 for a 3-day trail permit $ 95 for a 1-day trail permit $ 650 for an annual trail permit for a rental snowmobile $ 40 for a replacement trail permit
  13. What year is that car, Bill? Looks clean.....3:91 in that would be fun. Cannot imagine you do much highway cruising though. Ever tested the gas at the native station on 400 (Wolf Energy)?
  14. I do not know, I think it provided them a life line to remain in the market a bit longer than they would have if they did not partner with another manufacture.
  15. Been a little while, but I recall stock class were limited by a certain ET (9.99 & slower), trans brakes allowed but no boxes.....I think some of the other rules in place might make it harder for this car to enter like battery location, kill switch, roll cage, chassis certification, etc.....
  16. I did not think dealers were allowed to charge more, but not offer any discounts of course, but private sales after the initial sale was different story.
  17. Similar to a Vette - considering its performance offerings, price well compared to other super cars......and I am sure the same can be said for the Mustang.
  18. Perhaps a reason "stunt" driving charges have increased so much..... There are sanctioned tracks around people can go to, to stretch the legs of these vehicles if so inclined......cars like this are perfect for that actually, built to allow the owner to drive to the track, race and than drive home - no dealing with truck, trailer, etc......
  19. If I recall the last time they released the older versions of these, all sold out fast and then the popped back up for sale for more of course. For a purpose built drag car, that can also be a daily driver, that is impression to apparently run just shy of 9s @ 150 MPH on a prepped strip - will need the chute option though if you run that MPH on any sanctioned strip, plus a cage, which I do not see in the video, but might also be a option by the looks of it.
  20. You were talking about the Dodge Demon (Chrysler product) - been a very impressive offering from them over the years no doubt!
  21. I did not know that E85 had such a high octane (100), I just looked it up, never had before! Always assumed it was regular gas with more ethanol, but than again, ethanol does add octane and why it, alcohol and methanol are used in full race applications, but they tear things done regularly due to the damage it causes, etc....and of course there are the fumes as well that you mentioned. So also makes sense with high comp performance engines using it based on the high octane it has, and that are set up for its use of course. So learned something new today about E85!
  22. Never heard of it, must have low comp engine though. yes alcohol is, ever seen alcohol funny cars, just stupid amounts of power.
  23. Many of the performance vehicles with higher comp. ratios today that you see on the road, require premium - Costco is definitely catering to those clients too. There is no injection of octane booster going on... Here is a Q&A from their website: What products do you sell? Regular unleaded (87 octane), Premium unleaded (91 octane), and Diesel (at select locations only).
  24. And if you believe that for one second, I’m sorry, you aren’t running on all cylinders
  25. Ya, if used all the time, seems to be a non issue like in our vehicles. small engines that usually have gas sit due to seasonal use, separates causing engine failure (burning water) and also causes failure/deterioration of rubber lines.
