So i changed out engine oil today. Quaker 10W30 synthetic, Wix filter ftw! And Tyler's Stage II belt he sold me is still holding up great! 2500Kms on that belt now! The original ST II belt didn't even make 1000Kms... so it must have just been a bad belt...

Good luck with gettin one on warranty. I realized last week that they put the stock belt on mine when it had the stage 2 belt originally. Made me pay 92 bucks for the replacement stage 2 I had to order. I had to get the part number and take it to them to order it as nobody had any clue what I was looking for.

Once i get the belt back, Bradley's thinks they might be able to get the belt under warranty, because it was less than 1000K before it destroyed, and maybe my hoodliner too.

When mine blew, i had Mainline in Watrous look for any 2.0L belts, and the closest one at that time was in Edmonton.

I am running 10W30 right now. I was 5W30 before. But i'll have this oil changed out by winter time no problem. It was on a sweet deal in Minot, so i grabbed it.

Indeed. Unless you are looking to buy TV's or other electronics. Then its cheaper or the same price up here. TVs (same brand/model/size) are average of $500 cheaper here, then stateside! o.O

You do...?

Anybody visit Majestics Car show in Regina this past weekend? I seen a Ron Fellows Z06, but the owner wasn't there... the other Vette owners thought his was the only one in Sask, and he doesn't usually drive it. But i know of one that was driving around Stoon, so there might be two? Or he was just in Stoon for a short time, the same time i was (unless more of you have seen it)...

And i got to play GT V Prologue, it was pretty cool, and got a PSP t shirt, which ended up being to small for me...
There was some cool cars there, but the RF Z06 stands out the most. Oh and the girl with the Pink and White Del Sol. THAT stood out!

I was. But a decent one was very hard to find when you have single income on a mortgage. I picked up this condo for $229,000. It's huge.

They tell me I was there and caused a few scenes. I don't remember much of being there though
