    Anyone else cross shop a Nissan Frontier vs Honda Ridgeline?

    My brother had three Honda Ridgeline. two from the previous generation and one from the latest generation (which he replaced three years ago). He drove over 150,000 miles with all of them, as they were company pickups constantly on the road. He really liked all three, but he did mention a few...

    The tariffs happened!

    The big plan of M. Trump ;) as he is the one that files for bankruptcy multiple times

    The tariffs happened!

    It’s all a numbers game. What concerns me isn’t the local U.S. market, but rather the exposure these factories now face in export markets. Investment will always be necessary as models and technologies evolve, requiring ongoing factories’ upgrades and capital injection. However, building major...

    The tariffs happened!

    Was watching CNN last night, and was just thinking about that, but maybe while bringing back factories from Mexico to USA, they will bring as well the Mexican workers to fill-up the positions into the new USA factories :rolleyes: So for fun, I throwed my text into ChatGPT and it was very...

    The tariffs happened!

    Is it good news, or just smoke and mirrors to please someone in the White House? It was announced that Honda is moving some production back from Canada to the U.S. At first glance, this appeared to be a win for the President. However, the story doesn't end there. With the U.S. now facing...

    2026 Jeep Cherokee: What we know (hint: not much)

    My 2019 Cherokee has been rock solid (now 7 years old) and continues to do everything I need it to. With the 3.2-liter engine, it offers solid towing capability (4,500 lbs) and surprisingly good fuel economy for daily use. I've towed a pop-up camper many times and upgraded from a single...

    We're getting a Tim Hortons

    Tim Hortons is everywhere here in Canada. Dunkin' Donuts didn’t survive, they all shut down years ago. Krispy Kreme didn’t really take off either. Sometimes I go for a drive with my daughter (of course, she’s the one driving), and we stop for a donut somewhere along the way. They have lots of...

    We're getting a Tim Hortons

    Actually, it is an underated one... Using that often in my beans to cup coffee machine, and for the price and taste, can't go wrong!

    Tim Rant!

    During long trips, my wife sometimes sits in the back while my youngest rides up front with me. We can't have things too cramped back there! 😄 Back during COVID, my Jeep had to go to the dealer for a minor issue, and the part was backordered for nearly two and a half months. In the meantime, I...

    Tim Rant!

    Mid-size,,,,, pretty tight,,,, and I really don't like the idea of putting all the stuff in the box. Mostly during the cold winter And I really don't want a full size pickup 1- too big for my needs 2- don't fit in the garage 3- Takes to much fuel (price is high here 6-7$ a gallon)

    Tim Rant!

    Hi, I really enjoyed your video — it perfectly captures so many of the thoughts I’ve been having. I don’t want a big SUV — but there's really no choice anymore. Smaller ones have basically zero towing capacity, making them useless but only cool to have. I find big SUVs unnecessary (I don’t...

    2025 Toyota 4Runner teaser released. Thoughts?

    Was digging more into the new 4Runner on the Canadian website. Not sure if the same in USA. The remote start is something I use all the time during winter (it is cold here lol). Having to pay a subscription after the 3 years trial to use an important feature on a vehicle you pay over 65k before...

    Worst Q1 since 2020

    Yes, from the day I was born :)

    Worst Q1 since 2020

    People I know—including myself—who were in the market for a new vehicle are putting off buying American-made ones, which for us includes nearly all pickups and SUVs, or are actively looking for alternatives. When I talk to friends and coworkers, there’s a clear drop in interest in anything made...

    The tariffs happened!

    It is a dangerous game,,,, as who else than Americans will want to buy Americans cars ? this is the question ? Americans car companies are making lots of money abroad!
