  1. You can use it as long as you aren't powering wheels directly with it. Transports use it for refrigeration and to run APU. Why can't I use it to re charge battery then?
  2. If it is a diesel generator and since generator don't drive wheels, dyed diesel could be used. That would be a huge plus for farmers, ranchers contractors etc that have fuel 👌. weak point is battery's and control module. Diesel generator is heavy especially since they are talking about. Not sure how much pay load truck would have left. Between batteries and generator might not be much.
  3. What would you get empty driving down the highway. 14 ish L per 100?
  4. We see, I think new engines will be much simpler they claim. Fuel management system was issues too on smaller v8's. I am still driving my 2010 Silverado. Most likely keep it until it's dead. It's very easy to work on and doesn't have all those fancy systems. My mechanic said he buy it off me in a second. He drives an 2003 for similar reasons. Has 450 k kms on iT. Best motor seems to be 3.0 L diesel. I just wouldn't get first version of it. Second version they fixed all flaws 👌
  5. Gm knows about this and has decided to ignore it. They are building new v8 engines in New York for my 2026 and new 2027 redesigned model. Cant wait to hear more about these new v8 engines.
  6. My cousin says he won't buy another electric vehicle. Has Id4 now. He says about half the time all chargers are broken (yes not one but all) when he gets to charging station. He also had incidents where charger and car software can't talk, so not getting a charge either. CAA has had to bring his vehicle home on a few occasions. He says going to Ottawa in cold from his home in Toronto, can be a stressful experience. He says this is last pure electric he will own. Plug in electric with gas back up next time or just hybred.
  7. Those guys are gang related, defiantly not poor. They run all major intersections in city. They use money for weapons, drugs etc. Offer them a sandwich and see what happens 😂.
  8. Should have gave Canadians incentives to grow population more steadily. 👍 That would have been way cheaper and better for everyone. Cheap day care is nice while it lasts
  9. More too it then that. Material prices have sky rocketed too. Concrete over double the price it was in 2022. I just poured a new pad and quote came in allot higher then I thought it would. Then cement truck drivers are grumpy and claim they are way under paid, because they have India people running 6 people in a truck he claims ðŸ˜ģ. He says they can't even understand hand signals either and they just pour cement where ever it happens to land ðŸ˜ģ lucky I didn't get any of those this time. I see new semis and townhouses going for 600 to 750 ish k Canadian around here now. It's insane. we just bought a one bedroom condo asking price was 300 and we won it at 420k Canadian. It's about 4 years old and close to farm in Kitchener. 420 k is still a decent price. Bid wars seem to calm down. At 450 I would have walked. Wife wanted it for her son because it's close to university's. The last place was a dump snd they wanted 430 no way lol.
  10. They make better wages and more holidays than us too.
  11. I looked and I didn't see many sleds without permits this winter. I rode mostly weekend with 3 year old and my wife. When I went out mid week some for sure without permits. Just because they aren't on windshield doesn't mean they are riding for free. Could have just ordered pass, or using multi day in thier pockets etc.
  12. Yes things change. I still think there lots of sleds and cars out there. New car owners don't go to these organized show and shines. They go to rally's at mall, buisness's and race outside in front of place. Police have had to shut some of them down over no event permit ðŸĪŠ They be big one some where this summer, just not sure where yet 😆. My friend into this and he always texting me next meet location. He has a few cars still. His rims are worth almost as much as my whole truck ðŸĪĢ
  13. We are doomed if this in case I still see family's out riding sleds on weekend. I bump into them at resturant. They are all riding there own too. I believe average snowmobiler is 48 but maybe over last decade that number has crept up too.
  14. Sounds like your buddy and my buddy would make a good pair 😆. Both run out of money mid week and be moucher for rest of trip. My hospital friend works for me part time. I could always hold his wages back if something goes south. So far he hasn't demsfed any equipment on farm. 👌
  15. Person has to have some interest. My hospital friend hasn't been on a skidoo since early 1980's. He's excited to go and has holiday time to use. He's going to be shocked how much these things have changed. Hoping he don't bail once we start to price out gear lol 😂. Like most he seems to live pay cheque to pay cheque.
