Can anybody give me the link for finding a good number for what your car is worth?  I bookmarked on my other computer, but I haven't got around to fixing it yet.  It wasn't Canadian Black Book, it was another one.

Thanks Careener, close to black book value

How is the Mazda6 ?  Hanging on to it?

A corner stone at Trent U, I thought provinces have Premiers not Prime Minters , am I wrong ?


It's something I've seen from time to time myself, but Quebec's own website seems to agree with you http://www.premier-ministre.gouv.qc.ca/index-en.asp
I emailed the province of Ontario , and answer was yes, you can call the Premier ,Prime Minster, I have never seen it done before

Oh, that's going to mess quite a bit with the long weekend travel plans for some people.   :shake:

On weekends heading to Niagara and to all points east I take the 403 and get off at Highway 6 then run down 65 to avoid the congestion and construction on the QEW. Takes the same amount of time.

Dustin Johnson is taking an indefinite leave from the PGA.  Rumor has it, he's got a serious coke problem.  I don't see how snorting coke from Paulina Gretzy's a$$ could hurt your golf game, but whatever...

How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

From the article:

Schmidt reported that the dump truck had its bucket in the lifted position, but he isn’t sure if it was up when the vehicle initially hit the scaffolding.

WHAT? :think:

Rory was a total douche about it.  And he has already won a couple of majors WITH a GF.  So it's not like he suddenly learned how to win after he dumped her.

Two elite athletes at the top of there sport wont work in a marriage. One has to follow the other around, a BF/GF relationship is different. Paula is just a spoiled party girl.

Well since we're talking tennis......how about Agassi/Graf for starters?   Still married BTW.

I really don't think the dynamic is too different from a couple of stars/Hollywood-types being married.

That was late in their careers  :P No way would I want big distractions,  like a wedding or other commitments, early in a career if I was a an elite athlete at the top unless my wife had nothing else to do other than support me.
