  1. Welcome to the hood.

     

    I live about 15 minutes north of you. But lived in Barrie for about 10 years.

     

    There are so many amazing places for the outdoors man/woman to explore in Simcoe. In fact, there are hundreds of miles of great biking, hiking, snowshoe, and ski trails within a 15 minutes of your house.

     

    If your in to that sort if thing,, let me know. I guide in the area, and can show you some real cool places...

     

    As for fish in the area.. X2 on Misfish. Simcoe really doesn't hold many fish... :whistling:

  2. My wife would need a tank to drive with " confidence in winter conditions"!!!!

     

    My wife has come a long way since we meet 10 years ago. Her current vehicle is an Ford Escape XLT.. She has taken backroads home this winter a few times because all the highways where closed due to weather. She's a real trooper that way.

     

    Quote "I'm in the market for something bigger now. Been looking for weeks, and still undecided. So much new stuff that's not really "Proven". I don't know what way to go. "

     

    Ditto. I'm due next year and there is nothing out there I'm interested in getting my hands on. If I had to decide tomorrow it would likely be a Taco. For now I'll keep my so so good Escape going. I really wish they would downsize the Toyota's to their 2003 size and drop in a diesel. Much of my fishing is long distance and walk wade or canoe but sometimes the roads are rough and snowy.

    I am going to get a truck eventually, in the next 5 years.. And a taco is high on my list (6 speed manual). But I really really like the new Silverado / Sierra. I think they look sharp.

     

     

    GMC Canyon in 2015 will have a 2.8 Duramax.

    I was going to ask about the Canyon. 4 door, lots of room. Enough clearance. Likely decent for towing... But my wife is hell bent against a truck for her daily driver.

     

    hehehe. Thats exactly where that thing belongs Bill. At the bottom of a canyon.

    That's what I thought people would say when I asked about the Canyon!!!

  3. That's the issue right Sinker.

     

    With the automotive down turn a few years back. Almost everyone has totally changed their lineups with new models.. And I know for a fact that some OEM's crashed through it flying by the seats of the pants... And the did it all around the same time. And None of the new models have really been proven. And most of it looks girly and weak IMO...

  4. Hahaha.. thanks Slop!

     

    I've got some friends that are trying to pull me over to the other side as well. And as a rally enthusiast my self.. I would love if she got a forester.

     

    My wife has this notion that sitting a bit higher up is safer for some reason... (not that a few inches make a difference) And the Foresters sit a bit low for her.. It's all in her head. :wallbash:

     

    We are definitely going to test drive a few.

  5. Years ago my brother was snowmobiling across Scugog and when he hit a patch of clear ice he slid sideways then hit a pressure ridge and flipped his machine and was thrown off. Luckily he he wasn't going too fast and wasn't seriously injured.

     

    I'd imagine it could happen just as easily with a truck if you were going fast enough.

    Exact same thing happened to my buddy on a quad last year. Smashed the helmet right off his head. Serious concussion and whip lash... But he survived with no broken bones...
