Canada Rant Alert

Post by Dynamic Entry »

Don't move here.

I live in Calgary, which is Canada's THIRD LARGEST civic municipality by population, and after calling all the performance auto shops in town NO ONE has motul 75w90 gear oil. Nobody. I thought this was the first world!

Now because I am a combination of non-planning and impulsive, I am going to put redline in my diff. Eff my life.


On a related note, if you have not seen The Brothers Bloom, I recommend it. It is a lot of fun, has a great cast and is very well put together. "I don't plan"

I enjoyed going to a "Stampede" a few years back - my family in Oregon showed horses back then. A bit cold for me though in the winter. It's in the teens here at night and i'm an icecube!

I had a similar problem in Vermont years ago when camping with my ex. My GL sedan leaked like crazy from the rear main and I couldn't find oil that wasn't for 2-strokes anywhere around the middle of nowhere that I was. So I didn't put any in. Near redline most of the 3 hours home, I finally added some oil. And some more. And some more. Had less than a quart in it. Car ran great until a tree fell on it over a year later. Still was fine, really, but its time had come.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

It's normal, Teklub is not importing Motul products anymore.
This means no more Motul for Canada.
