I think your buddy would be okay with holding a smooth shaft..

  • 1981 Malibu 4 door; 267/auto
  • 1989 Grand Am; Quad4(150hp)/5spd

the only car that's bee written off;
1991 Grand Am; Quad4(180hp)/5spd (the aforementioned 'white' car)
And that accident was not preventable by myself... I made the turn on the red only when I observed the oncoming lane of traffic had stopped.

Yes, that one still kinda pisses me off, I got royally boned on that whole ordeal...
You got a 70 monte carlo? I'd like to check that out sometime... Me and my dad have a 77 that we have done up (still getting parts and doing things slowly lol) Be interesting to check out

The conversation about Jonathans cars makes me laugh.

When Greg went to your house I hadnt really talked to him besides to find out he was going to your house.

I recieved a text and all it read was...

"he has alot of cars"

Shaw by far has the best customer service in my experience. The one time I thought I had a problem they actually just sent someone to my house to fix it rather than do it over the phone. When my parents got shaw last winter the install guy reran brand new cable through their house to the 6 TV's my parents have in their house. And when I left lethbridge and handed back my stuff to shaw they were like oh your only 13 days into this billing cycle. Dont worry about paying your bill this month we will just take care of your bill for you. Shaw has been amazing IMO.

Agreed. I have been with telus and shaw. Telus constantly goes out. Basically you can't watch TV or play interwebz for hours. I haven't had a problem with shaw at all. Besides them cutting me off from Shaw on Demand cause apparently I oder alot of movies. That was easily solved when I called them saying .

Shaw over all is just a better company to deal with.
That and I pay 30 bucks a month for both cable and webz.

so then you're on a promo cycle huh?

I would have saved something paltry like $5 if I went to their digital cable when I cut it.

I really didn't care enough ot be a dink and "make" them offer me a reduced rate;
I figured that i had been their customer for nearly a decade straight, and if they were only interested in muscling me over to their digital, and not have a happy customer;

F-them

This is true I am. For 6 months, but let's be honest... I only got cable for big brother , and that's only for the summer.

I lived in my house for like 8 months or something without cable.
