  1. I picked up a Ram crew cab 4x4 with the 3.6L 8 speed a month ago. Amazing truck so far. Just got home from a 1600km trip up north with a few hundred km of trail time and averaged 9.8L/100km for the whole trip. Has plenty of power and more than I thought it would have. Had a 2012 F150 with the 5.0 and couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

  2. There are 7 or so of these type of estates on the Oakville lakefront that change hands from time to time. Mostly new money guys who either want to impress their wives, families, friends or girlfriends....... :) There is a smaller version on the Burlington lakefront that underwent a multi million reno, sold 6 months later and then torn down and rebuilt, go figure.

     

    If you want to see unbridled excess on the lakefront Google Chelster Hall, built by Hugo Powell, ex CEO of Interbrew, The numbers vary but most accurate estimate is around $50 million. Must be money in beer... :D

     

    John, I was lucky enough to work in that house and have several jobs with the builder. If you ever have a chance to get in there do it, they host events once in a while on the property.

    People quite often make their decision based on who got their faces messed up. That not what judges look at...especially in Nevada where boxing is huge. GSP was ahead on the scorecards for # of landed punches, successful takedowns and time advancing/aggressor. There is only one benefit to hitting harder on the scorecard...a knockout. Without KO they have to resort to # of landed strikes. It was a very close fight and maybe Hendricks should have got the win based on how he seemed so much more powerful than GSP and his ability to rock him when he did strike, but unfortunately for Hendricks, that's not what will win you a decision. He needed to put him down or rack up points. If there's another fight, I think they'll be a KO...he's a powerful striker.
