OT: Leafs Lounge #142: We Gonna' Walk Down to Electric Avenue

[Cor]

just took this from my front window, doesn't really show how much it's actually snowing. **** driving to school in this, im staying home. To shovel. For the next 3 hours. See that lamppost? It's about 185cm tall.

yeah, its brutal in London right now as well.

Obviously they don't shutdown the campus though....

 

[Schenn]

It's snowing here in Barrie. But not that bad. No campus closure or anything.

Not a cloud in the sky here, just cold as ****

Have to layer up like a mother****er just to walk my dog, who is unaffected by the cold at all .. -30 and he's still happy as can be outside, wanting to play and bounce around in the snow

 

[Cor]

Just took my car off the road (suspended my insurance).

It feels nice. Money is getting REALLY tight, and not paying 350 a month will be nice. Besides, Winter driving is pretty ****ing terrible, would rather take the buses for free.

Hopefully I can get it back on the road in like May.

lol when it was -30 here a few weeks back, my dog's pads actually got frozen to the backyard deck. I mean legit frozen, poor little guy just stood there whimpering pathetically when i went to tell him to come inside, i didn't get it til i could see he couldn't move

$350? Damn. I was paying like $210, but then my dad sold his car so put mine under his name so now I only pay like $150.

 

[Hurt]

I also pay 350 for insurance. Good times.

 

[Peasy]

You guys got ticket history or anything?

It's more like 320 I think.

I had that accident last January, that I wasn't at fault for on the police report, but the insurance has me listed at fault for because there was only my car involved, which to me makes no sense... if the police say I wasn't at fault, I wasn't at fault

So that bumped it up, and I have been too lazy to go get my "G" liscense. Technically I am only a G2 driver (although all the limitations are long gone) so that raised it a bit as well.

I also pay 350 for insurance. Good times.

****ing bulllllll

The message broadcast in several states last winter was equal parts alarming and absurd: “Civil authorities in your area have reported that the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living. . . . Do not attempt to approach or apprehend these bodies, as they are considered extremely dangerous.”

The reported zombie invasion was not something out of the “The Walking Dead.” It was the federal Emergency Alert System under control of hackers

EDIT: **** I MISSED MY 9,000 POST! **** **** **** ****

 

[BertCorbeau]

$350 wow...

Even with my big accident in 2003, my insurance before I left Ontario was only $270 (albeit there were some limitations)

Right now my insurance is $128 per month

 

[Hurt]

You missed it by a lot too, Cor.

Yeah 350. I don't mind though. Guess you have to pay a little more for the luxuries in life.

 

[Schenn]

My insurance is $270 or something. I should really find something cheaper considering I don't have that much coverage.

I'm a broke college student, I drive a ****ing chevy cavalier

The Mustang doesn't come for another 5 years

 

[Ace88*]

Holyyyyy. Hurt i can understand because he lives in Toronto or downtown and is extremely, extremely irresponsible sarcasm: ), but you? Living in London? with a Cavalier? i only paid $240 a month with a 2012 Civic Si until recently, now it's $200 for a turbo Passat, with a speeding ticket and "at-fault" accident from 5 years ago that just came off this past december.

 

[Peasy]

Still got no tickets on record. Talked my way out of a speeding one about 2 years ago

I actually live in one of the areas with the highest insurance rates in the country. So it's understandable.

It'll probably come down a bit in a year and a bit when I hit 26.

It's the accident I wasn't at fault for on the police report but they made be at fault for in the insurance

"Talked"

 

[Hurt]

I just read this article about the Ham vs Nye debate and there was a photographer who got 22 people to write on a piece of paper and pose with it about why evolutionism is wrong. I couldn't believe what I was reading.

Lol and you just took it like that? Why wouldn't you threaten to go to a different insurance company or actually do go to a different company? If there's no at fault on your record you can't get charged extra for it

You're an '89, right? Our insurance goes down this year after we hit 25. Also, you don't live in Brampton do you? The L6X and L6Z postal codes are the 2 highest in all of Canada. L6X in particular is rife with insurance fraud and people who just plain don't know how to drive. Wtf are you driving though that's costing you $350 a month?

Yes I am an '89. No I don't live in Brampton.

2012 GLK350.

Lol well that's the reason. $350 for a 350 sounds about right. Nice little ute though.

Thinking of getting a Tesla. They're amazing vehicles.
