Yup. Pretty sure the chances of him getting traded this season are slim to none.

The only reason I ever advocated for him to be traded was to make room for Petro. But, unfortunately, that train has sailed.

Figuring this stuff out isn't rocket surgery.

This article made me laugh. Hey America, you don’t need a full size pick up truck you need a cowboy costume.

Lots of big rumbling sounding trucks that people never use to haul stuff and hardly ever carry stuff around in.

Almost makes you not want to punch RJ in the face.

I said "almost."

In the aftermath, Elizabeth Fraser found her Aunt Sophie.

“I saw my aunt, who was expecting a baby, dragging her little six-year-old boy by the hand. Her eyes were both blown out of her head and she was telling him to hurry; he was dead but she did not know."

No words...

Leaf draft pick, but we traded down to get Dermott and Bracco.

Yea spreadsheets!

Dubas should find Burke’s spreadsheets when he traded up for Biggs

Bang on article! Thanks for sharing.

My brother-in-law just bought himself a fairly decked out F150 a few months back. He's never been a "hands on" kind of guy but he ended up doing a bunch of renovations on his backyard / pool area this year. As a result of all of this work (of which 98% of it was done by contractors), he's started following (almost obsessively) construction, interior and exterior design instagram accounts.

He works in sales (printing industry) but now frequently sports a flannel jacket and can't stop yapping about renovations.

I mean, it's great that he's found himself a hobby but the $70k truck, flannel clothing, and tunnel vision reno talk is getting to be a bit much. Perhaps this is an example of COVID-19 driving people somewhat batty?

Which is to say, I doubt he'll use the truck much for anything beyond cosplaying as a contractor.

Crazy. I saw this picture of side by side 1980 and 2020 Toyota half tons a few days ago. I think with inflation, half a ton weighs a lot more today.

That is nuts!

Man, Zakk Sabbath seems like it should be a joke but their cover of the entire Black Sabbath album is modern and faithful without being a copy.... really well done.

It seems like yesterday that I bought the Paranoid album, it might have been 1970. I had a decent stereo and when I put it on I can still see my parents faces. When iron man started playing it was priceless.

I know. The SUVs are pretty much the same. I see women driving SUV versions of the same monsters on their way to Pilates and back. I think for them it’s a feeling of safety from the scary world of Ontario suburbs.

When our kid was playing hockey and we driving him and buddies around (he’s a goalie so lots of stuff) my wife insisted on a big ass Expedition (for the kids).

Those guys pretty much nailed everything.

We bought a Forester recently. Perfect size for our needs in T.O...

Wouldn't get a sedan unless I already owned something bigger, not practical enough.

You should give 19-2 a try. It’s the English version of a Montreal cop show.

Yes.
It has the guy from letterkenny in it

I really, really, really miss my minvan.

Comfortable. It was a good price. 14 cup holders.

And it could fit a family of four, dog, and all the camping/hockey/skiing stuff you needed.

I'm a no kids guy but I moved some stuff from MTL to Toronto in a grand caravan with stow and go seating.

I'd actually buy one if it wasn't a Chrysler, and if having a van while having no kids didn't make me look like a creepster... it was super convenient and not terrible to drive.

It's JVR for Schenn, in reverse.

I just bought a 20 Toyota Sienna. The plan is to turn it into an off-grid camper. I already have everything I need to transform it but the actual work will probably have to wait till spring.
Depending on the COVID situation we’re going to do a summer long cross country road trip. I’m amazed at how nice it is to drive and very easy on fuel.

We got a loaner a few years back when we had to get a dent removed - they gave us a GMC Yukon.

It was franking ridiculous in the city - forget about finding a parking space.

You're going to do this with a brand new vehicle?

- Atomic Wedgie

Yes but there will be no alterations to the vehicle. Just take out the second and third row seats and build a bed that converts to seating for daytime use. I also have a portable solar system that I can charge off the car battery while driving, or solar panels when parked.
The main reason for using a new van is because I know nothing about the mechanics of a car. If I break down I don’t even lift the hood, I just start walking.
