So I was wondering is there any place I can go just to change out my fog light bulbs? Not too sure if it is ok here in the buildings basement car park, and from what I hear the lady is somewhat of a "b to the witch", and Im not too sure if lying down on the ground is ok ..haha. So is it fine to just go to a park or something?

No different in Vancouver than any other city I suppose. Just go to a Canadian Tire parking lot like everybody else.

OK, so I would like to put a tranny cooler on (in like a month) and well I was wondering if anyone has nothing to do one day on the weekend except watch and/or help me put it on in ....their garage? I'd say driveway as that would be fine, but it seems to rain here a bit.ha!
It seems like an easy instal, and i'd bring the coffee's and give you some cash for being so nice! Let me know if you'd be up for it and reply here or shoot me a pm. Thanks

Right on Jay, Thanks alot, and I may take you up on that offer. Ya the tranny cooler is a cake walk. few bolts, few hoses.
Im sure it will be the usual small stuff like the skid plate and all that crap that will piss me off for some stupid reason.
Im just not used to not having a place to work on my vehicle.
And yes an auto is just that, an auto. Some days I miss my 92 5spd 4runner.
How far is Maple Ridge from Vancouver west? like 30min?

You could probibly get there in about 40-45 mins depending on traffic. Don't even bother comming across the pitt river bridge till after rushour..

Or jam out on a wkend and screw traffic

Perhaps we can work something out once all of this white stuff melts away!

Ya that would be great Jay. Weekends usually are pretty good for me since they are more laid back. The cooler should be here next week sometime so anytime after that I am game for sure. Whatever works for you is great. Really appreciate it.

sa51. Well you can if you have the space. All I have is a parking stall with not so friendly strata people. So im s.o.l.

There are bylaws in Vancouver which could result in a fine if you work on your vehicle on a road side. How do I now? I've been ticketed. BTW, welcome to Vancouver.

Yeah, i would kind of hope so due to some danger and etc. involved in that. My stall is in underground parking so it is kind of a grey area that seems to be dependant on what you are doing and if the one lady is being a mad biatch that day..Sure makes me miss my driveway in Otario!

I was also kicked out of my underground parkade. Apparently, I made too much noise.

If I could fit into an underground parking area you could bet your heart I would be kicked out in a day.. When my exhaust reverbs through the
lot..wow!

I love working at my place, my neighbors already hate me so its all good

Anyways. Looks like the weather is starting to warm up. Im gonna be busy this weekend and next. But we should do it mid January or something..

I have to take my truck to BCC for a new front bumper soon

Nice, a BCC bumper. I have been checking their site for a while now and it seems like it has been being "updated" for a long time now. Where are those guys located in BC.
But ya, the week after the next weekend..would be good for me.
