Lol...at this rate I may have to settle for a die-cast model :)
I love it when a plan comes together.

My sister had her second (and hopefully last) surgery today to remove her thyroid, which was full of cancer.  Things went really well, and from what I understand, they anticipate that it's been all removed.  She'll start radiation in the next few weeks.  Fack this facking disease!

My aunt had the same surgery a few years ago and she's doing fine.  Hope the same for your sis, Shane.

Yeah, as of now we have no reason to believe that she won't be fine.  But damn I just hate the "C" word.  There probably isn't too many folks on this forum that haven't been affected by it in some way.

Canuck, sorry to hear.

Fortunately that treatment has a very high success rate.

If he has any concerns about the radiation PM me, I'm very familiar with the staff and family members safety side of it.

Enough for a running car, I think...or enough to cover the new 10% Trudeau luxury tax on a $100,000 Carerra :(

You’re just paying your fair share you rich swerver  :P

I already pay the equivalent of a 911 in taxes each year...they keep squeezing...but just the pulp left man!

Upper middle class really gets the nuts

Yup...although, as much as I dislike it, this Trudeau luxury tax over $100,000 may be a good externally imposed budget line. In any case, I'm still in the maybe rough running Boxster territory :)

Remember back in 1991 when Bush Sr. brought in a 10% luxury tax on cars over $30k (amongst other items)? IIRC the tax only applied to the amount paid over $30k. They got rid of that tax completely in 2002.

Watching You Tube car review videos the other day, came across one for what must've been a 1 yr only (2018) US Cruze - a 6 spd manual diesel.  All we get is the auto.  Them now too, at least until it's gone I guess.

We got the manual as well although they're probably super rare. There's three on AutoTrader: https://www.autotrader.ca/cars/chevrolet/cruze/?rcp=15&rcs=0&srt=3&prx=-1&loc=Burlington&fuel=Diesel&trans=Manual&hprc=True&wcp=True&sts=New-Used&inMarket=advancedSearch

Well colour me mauve and call me a turtle!  They sure as hell don't advertise that stuff...no wonder they don't sell any cars.  Thanks!  Too bad the reviewer didn't like it...otherwise I'd be down for one. How can a diesel manual not be good?
