Today, while going into a Tim Horton's parking lot in Ancaster, I saw something familiar ... Hmmm. '96 Passat TDI sedan, silk blue. Looks familiar. Not too many of those around, especially that colour. Swung around that end of the parking lot. Tinted windows, check. Trailer hitch, check. Bug...

Spammer banned, thread locked.

Spyn Motiv 18x8 et48 rims, Falken 245/40-18 tires. Looks like this! The offset is correct, the wheels aren't recessed in the way the stock ones are, but they don't stick out either.

I need to get something off my chest. There are a whole bunch of adults that have been acting like children lately. For the most part, I think you know who you are. Rule of thumb ... THINK before you hit "Submit". I am fed up with "fanboi" attitudes. I am fed up with people who are "fanbois"...

Few weeks ago I started noticing that the washer squirters weren't doing what they should. Today's task was to get to the bottom of the problem. Car-too-smart nuisance: you can't operate the washer squirters with the hood open! but I found the problem nevertheless, after operating the...
