You know how you see a Dealer Number on a used car posting, I just found this website VSA where you can search for used care dealers based on that number. And it gives you all the salespeople that are licensed and works at that dealer as well. Eg. 5102, I found out was Pattison Lease.

Definitely a, "No need to start a new thread," post.
I was searching for "Made in USA" rubber bands. Found ones made by Alliance Rubber. They're called Brites............... this is from Amazon reviews.

Colour Name: Blue/Orange/PinkSize : 50 bandsVerified Purchase
I worked in an outdated company, where my sole job was to digitize years and years and YEARS worth of paper documents and bring the company into the Now Times™️. These rubber bands were perfect for binding stack after stack of ancient scrolls and tomes together as they awaited their inevitable end (via shredder).
Due to COVID, I began working from home. My office moved to my comfy house desk, and my coworkers became..... well, cats. And if cats love anything, it's playing with trash not meant for them! Thus, my giant rubber bands became giant cat toys. I would slingshot these bad boys down the hall, and my coworkers would LOSE IT. Rubber bands quickly became Marshall's go-to toy! He'd carry them around, sleep with them, hide them for later. It was all good fun!
But... I felt the need to hire a new employee. Eugene came fully vetted and his previous employers sang his praises! I thought it was a perfect match. However, they failed to mention his one flaw. Eugene likes to eat everything. EVERYTHING. If it will fit in his throat, he's going to swallow it. Even metal! In the days since this fateful incident, I've caught him with knives, wrenches, scissors, and screws in his mouth. Just walking around with KNIVES. An HR nightmare.
Unfortunately, not armed with this knowledge, I let him go about his business unsupervised. I caught him chewing on one of Marshall's precious rubber bands... Oh no! Never experiencing a cat actually GNAWING on the rubber band, I decided it would be best to take all of them and put them away.
But..... do you remember how Marshall liked to stash them???
Marshall uncovered a rubber band, offering it to his new friend. Eugene then chewed the band until it was one long SEVEN INCH STRAND. Then, I imagine, he ate it Lady and the Tramp style. Except instead of a cute little kiss, he was greeted with tummy aches and surgery. All of this happening within his first week of employment!!!
The vets pulled out the entire 7 inch strand, fully intact, as though it wasn't just sitting in stomach acid for who knows how long. Amazing! The color was still a vibrant blue. Astounding!
Although these rubber bands are the best rubber bands I've ever owned, I sadly had to cut them up, throw them into a trash bag, throw the trash bag into the dumpster, and stand watch until the garbage truck hauled them away. I can no longer use hair ties - only thick fluffy scrunchies. My life has changed since Eugene came into my life, not necessarily always for the better, but his cute little face makes up for the fact that I can no longer keep my papers bound together.

Left Grand Villa Casino. Turned left onto Canada Way. Long line up at left turn lane onto Willingdon. I get into left through lane. I notice this numbnut stopped a good two car lengths from the stop line. I roll down my window and make a circle in the air and point to the pressure sensor (they’re round in Burnaby). I then do a pushing hands together to mimic pressure. I do this few times. Sure enough, the dedicated left turn signal doesn’t go on. I then waved him to drive forward. I should have done that first, but damn, some people are clueless. I have no idea what kind of person it was………….. doesn’t matter, ‘cause dumb doesn’t discriminate.
All those cars could have gone.

he probably thought you were giving him the most elaborate F-U hand gesture
Dad's GC's amp died. Went to take it apart to see what it is so I can replace it with a correct one from ebay or something. Finds his back seat and trunk full of water.
There's two culprits, either the frameless windows or his sunroof drains are clogged. But it's looking more likely the door/window seals
If you park your car outside, especially under trees etc. a sunroof is just waiting to fail imo.
Have had 2 cars with sunroof issues now parking under trees where sap and other shit falls on the roof, no way to avoid it. With our G to fix the issue that MIGHT be the problem I habs to take the passenger seat out and remove the headliner..
