Both my parents are excellent drivers and both used to have and maintain a class 1 license but my mom gave hers up about 5 years ago or so and my dad I think still has his, not sure tho. My Grandpa used to run a bus company, school buses, greyhound buses, back in the day lol my Grandpa used to save greyhounds ass when their buses broke down. I've got a lot of experience under my belt, i know how to handle vehicles, just about any vehicle too.

OH! well in that case that justifies your logic of taking your summer tires off in march!

lol cmon i'm not American, i know that if it snowed overnight i wouldn't be going anywhere watsoever the next day in the cobalt with summer tires tho rofl this Mini cooper in the parkade where i live thought he could, slid right into the curb and got stuck, he stalled it 10+ times and burned the **** outta his tires before he finally got it loose and slid down the hill more till he turned the wheel into the curb and parked it rofl i bet i could have pushed it by myself off the curb and let it slid down the hill but that's not kewl, it'd be funny as hell, but not very nice at all.

This happened the day after i moved in

my hope is to have them swapped March 21st but pending it's not been +5C overnight, March 28th, and further, and further if necessary. I just don't see it snowing much if at all past mid March.

looking at:
West 49
my old liquor store
Bar (bartender/bouncer)


DEFINATELY A NO:
-Fast food
-chain stores (CDN tire, Walmart)
Ever considered going to school? maybe SAIT or mount royal. get in to some sort of skilled trade even. It will be a much better investment then just getting by with the kind of jobs you listed above. I can see if they are hiring at Fedex for ya if you'de like tho.

I'm not doubting your driving ability but that kind of answer seems very arogant and over confident. Just because your parents had a class one license doesn't mean they are good drivers. I'm sure you've got lots of good experience but its the other idiots who don't that you have to watch out for! If you put your summer tires on early thats your desicion, drive safe and keep the car in one piece

are u going to talk down towards me all the time like this? cause i can just block your pointless reposts of wat others already said to me. 7years+ of driving with ZERO accidents means I'm a good driver, that includes several times i've had to move out of the way at intersections because the idiot behind me wasn't paying attention. I cannot even count anymore how many accidents I've avoided by simply paying attention 360 degrees while I'm behind the wheel of a vehicle.

more so towards I like to dream alot, it's still plausible that mid March winter will be done and summer tires would be accepted by almost everybody, the climate is not wat it was 5 years ago, it has warmed up quite a bit compared to wat it usually was.

Try this, don't take me so damn SERIOUS all the time, just because I said in 2 weeks I'm putting my summer tires back on doesn't mean that in 2 weeks if it's snowing and -20C i'm putting my summer tires back on..........obviously that won't be happening in that scenario.


If that doesn't work maybe instead of attacking me ask 1 or 2 precise questions so the "confusion" can be cleared up


and for some reason if you are incapable of the above 2 options..........try holding your tongue, or in this case fingers.

i personally feel that drivng is somthing either you know how to do or you dont. i feel you can learn to a certain point but you cant take a brutal driver and make them good. its just somthing you can or cant do. and alot of it has to do with confidence i think.

and whitetc you better be knocking on alot of wood. or your gonna crash and ruin your perfect record.!

and travis you pay 400$ just to see your gf!! why??

I'm just a realist... we live in calgary.. usually snows until mid-late april...
i dont attack you i question your judgement... that rally you wanted to enter for example... i was helping you not destroy the **** outta your brand new car... you kept attacking me

and as for the hold my tongue... i speak my mind... deal with it

the mid-late april snow was something of the past, it might happen this year but it will snow overnight and by mid day it's all gone because by that point the temps during the day are 10+ consistantly, and by the point I get up and goto my car all the snow will have melted off it and the main roads will be just wet if not already dry from all the traffic. I'm not a morning person so I don't think I'll be taking any jobs that require me up b4 noon as I never get to sleep b4 5am on any given day no matter how hard I try.

The rally I would have entered if I wasn't working and had a co-driver, it was NOTHING like u thought it was, one guy took his S2000 with no issues at all. U wanna speak your mind like that all the time go right ahead, u will not get far in life if you do not have the ability to ever hold your tongue.
