  1. Happpened to my girlfriend. Washer, dryer, furnace all done!
  2. My friends and girlfriend all laugh at me when I say this. Good to know I'm not the only one
  3. I didnt say I can tell whats wrong with it, I can tell if its worthy of buying though.
  4. Put on any plates. A cop is not going to scan your plates for no reason. Drive smart and you will be fine. If I were you, I wouldn't even take the car to the mechanic. Drive the vehicle and make sure it drives nice, shifts nice, and no weird noises. Give it a few full throttle rips that will tell alot. If all that is ok, then the car is fine. You can tell alot about the way the car was treated just by the condition of the exterior and interior. The mechanic is going to ask you "what do you want me to do" aka how far are you willing to open your wallet? Waste of time in my opinion if your taking it to the mechanics to have it checked. Unless of course he is your friend and will do it for free. What are the details of the car? Make, km, year?
  5. The tongue weight your car can handle but its the tongue pushing down the rear end and lifting the front that is taking away from your traction. Wish I could show you a picture of my 92 jetta towing my boat. It would be considered a comedy show to watch me pull the boat out . Good luck on a wet ramp is all I have to say. Its like being at a drag strip and warming up the tires before you make a run. Hey Unclebuck do your small little arms hurt still from pushing down on the front end so it gets traction?
  6. On your way to dunnville you will see a motel on your right about 1km before the bridge. PM for potential spots to try if interested since your making the trek from the GTA. I saw them playing on the top of the surface in the shallows about 3+ weeks ago. Good luck.
  7. The car definetely has the power to do it. Being manual it will take on the hills with ease. You will definetely have problems at the launch though. You will be losing traction in the front from all the weight being loaded on the back like GCD mentioned above, and you will put alot of strain on your clutch. If it helps things my dad owned a 2004 jetta tdi wagon and I actually asked the dealer mechanic if I could get away with towing a boat (1000lbs) with the car and he recommended that I don't do it, although he said it could do it. Welcome to the world of boating and spending never endless money
  8. Your forgetting that you live in an area that is not populated. In 2006 there was 54000 people residing in North Bay. Makes a big difference.
  9. Pay close attention after you pass the train tracks. Look for his signs.
  10. Keep in mind you will be paying brokerage when the order arrives.
  11. On my trips up north, I remove all my reels off and put them into a bag, and then zip tie all the rods together
  12. What if big momma was around while you were chasing it away?
  13. how much do you guys think they will sell for?
  14. Are those pics of the south shore of nip? Looks very familiar. Are "the flatts" right near there?
  15. I agree with Dara. You shouldn't be protecting people that keep more fish than they should in the freezer, or be tipping off people to look out just incase they practise this regularily. Shows how much the locals care about the fishery
  16. I think I'm going to disagree with you on this one. When I bought my boat it was once owned by an electrician, and he had a 1.5A onboard charger in the boat. I have also read on this board that charging it slowly is best. Can anybody else clarify this?
  17. They definetely don't need a warrant to enter. Some of the senior board members will remember this, but a while back a CO went into Anglers Kingdom and demanded that the owner open the door to one of the cabins when the people were not even there to have a look in the freezer. Its always possible for them to land in. You do see them coming though, so use that to your advantage if you can. Although I'm sure they are watching you with binoculars before they even land to see if your nervous and panicking. Get drunk before you go out if your that worried about it.
  18. Get yourself a portable trickle charger that is automatic. The slower you charge, the better it is for your battery. Your batteries will hold the charge longer this way. Make sure you charge your batteries at the end of every outing.
  19. They have to have skin on them right up until you are about to cook them. So if you don't plan on cooking them right away, keep a patch of skin on them.
  20. I had a compre replaced that I broke on a snag. Only complaint was it took a while for it to come in.
  21. They know this trick far to well. I have herd that while they are checking somebody, they will stop and not even complete their check if they see other boats taking off, and they will begin to chase them down. By them taking off it lets them know that they are doing something wrong for sure.
  22. 20's people are not the only ones who drink and drive boats. I bet the older guys do it more than they do, as not many 20 year olds can even afford a boat. Sure alcohol is a major factor to consider here, but that is not to say that this exact scenario couldn't of happened if they were sober. Anything can happen out there.
  23. Don't be suprised if your motor doesn't want to idle if you do this, especially on an older motor. Feel it out though.
