Bring some of that Alberta oil with you so our taxes go down. Ordering my car at the end of the month and the taxes alone are $4000. I have to keep reminding myself that we get health care, EI, etc - but it is still hard to see that money fly out of the account. I have not seen too many GTI's around Vancouver, especially white ones for some reason.Thalo said:I might be moving to the Okanagan. Maybe I'll join the Vancouver club and meet up with you guys sometime.
I live in Surrey and I've only seen Black, Red and Silver... Have yet to see a white one. I think everyone here fears the fact it's going to look dirty very quick hereuncle dude said:Bring some of that Alberta oil with you so our taxes go down.

I would never slam another province or place I have not lived, but we love it here! I say pack up the FAST and get to the ocean. Speaking of roads, I am always amazed as soon as I cross the border and head to Seattle how the roads become more concrete, and generate a lot more road noise. We are spoiled with our asphalt, even with the potholes.Thalo said:Still deciding between same job I have now in B.C. or move to Toronto and work my way up the corporate ladder. What I'm sure of is that I'm leaving this cesspool of a province. There's no real career here for someone who isn't a Roughneck and I can't afford to buy a house (nor do I want to buy what I can afford, which is garbage condominiums).
Infrastructure is literally crumbling before my eyes here. Potholes on roads appearing faster than they can be repaired and I just read today that the city put out a tender offer to get a high priority stretch of freeway that is totally pothole-ridden resurfaced and got no offers. So they won't be doing it until 2009.
It's not much better here in Surrey, BC or any surrounding areas. I feel so much pain for my tires while driving. I'm constantly driving near the middle of the road (when they are clear) because of the damn potholes/rocks or having to swerve to avoid hitting them. I desperately need to get a Clear bra for my car before more rocks hit the hood.Thalo said:Infrastructure is literally crumbling before my eyes here.

Nitroburn, where did you buy your GTI and were you able to get any $$ off the sticker price? We are ordering next Saturday and have a quote from Capilano VW for $600 off sticker + rubber floor mats. I am trying to get the iPod adapter thrown in too. Would appreciate your feedback, and any other feedback from Vancouver area folks.nitroburn said:It's not much better here in Surrey, BC or any surrounding areas.

I don't know if I just don't remember this happening other winters, but the roads just seem like they got trashed this winter more then normal.
