*Pete's Big Bite*

I was thinking about going out this Friday/Saturday. Is anyone going? It's from 9-12 right? What time should I be there to get a parking spot?

Just a reminder Les, this weekend is a long weekend and the 401 eastbound will be a mess from the afternoon until late into the evening.

Fri nites it's anywhere from 6:30 pm and later. Saturdays it's hit and miss, but usually 9pm and later.

I have lots of experience with the 407 on long weekends. It will still be slow but waaaay better than the 401. The 401 will be slow from noon onwards, the 407 not quite so much. I only come home from my office in Scarberia and on a long weekend, you can bank on one-and-a-half hours usually. At the end of the 407 after you cross Brock ROAD, not Brock STREET, things are usually at a standstill for a few kms. then it will pick up. Sorry to be the bearer of such great news but I've lived out here since '86 and it ain't getting any better!

He was, but only had a couple of guys that were abit flakey, so he priced it in line with the US Market for similar cars. Me, I'd just trade it in if I really needed the money.

What's this world coming to when you go out buy a new vette and it does not appreciate in value. Experience isn't highly regarded anymore in this world is it.

Geez there are a lot of vettes for sale out there.
Sorry for going off topic Les, Pete's is the wrong direction for where we're headed this wknd.
