The lightest, fluffiest snow in Canada, and you guys are throwing your backs out? The last few posts belong in the "Beyond is old as fuck" thread.

You guys just need to have asthma and then you never worry about shoveling snow and either your neighbor snowblows it or your significant other does it

To be fair, my back has been in low-level perpetual pain for about 20 years - likely thanks to having 3 vehicles totalled from rear-enders starting in 2001. Not all my muscles work together properly so it's no surprise when I pull something - though it's usually in the upper back region. Add to that the 1st-world problem of having a large, 3-car driveway, sprinkle in some aging, and.... presto! Pain city.

I dunno about the other guy, but I hurt mine lifting a TH400. Just general commentary on recent back injuries. Still, you're not wrong.

I went downtown, but my co-workers down in the SE industrial area say the roads are brutal. "pure glass" is the report. So take it easy kiddies.

I just popped down to Standens to grab something and people* were getting stuck coming back up the hill on 58ave.

*2 wheel drive non studded tire people, if you can call them people

BMW lif3 y0. Mine are doing the same thing. Was in a warm garage, parked at the grocery store after 10 minutes if driving, charge battery.

This is entirely my fault.

I drove the M2 today and haven’t had it on the trickle charger because my wife broke the plug in my garage I usually use ( left the snow blower starter plugged in when she drove it away ).

It gets a cozy heated parkade for the day which will Make it happier.

I have thoughts and feels about batteries. So many of each.


But yeah it's cold out there guise.

Aren’t those BMW’s brand new? Crazy how unreliable they are, I’m surprised.

My 10 year old POS Cadillac with the original battery will start no problem, in the middle of winter after sitting for 6 months without a trickle charger on it for comparison.

Have not had good feeling on those AGM batteries. And all cars now have 4G radio that's always on draining it.

[Disoblige]

If your battery was low on charge and was sitting out in the cold overnight, there is a high chance it may be compromised as there is much more water content in it to freeze over and cause damage. A battery fully charged in the cold usually won't have an issue in regards to being damaged from frigid temperatures. Good reason to stick with Costco batteries.

Its likely because your 10 year old Caddy won't give you any battery warnings until it's too late. BMW at least gives you the courtesy that the battery is low before completely dieing.

Who said anything about cars not starting?

Nothing wrong with AGM batteries IMO. It's the 4G radio thing that's a problem.

I prefer to just drive old beaters. Don't have to worry about those types of problems.

I wish they made a basic bitch vehicle.
A North American Lada.
And do not try to sell me on a Honda Fit.

Chevy Spark. Probably just as basic and unreliable as a Lada.
