It’s called t&t. Which stands for titties and taffy.
Real Chinese go there and buy their hot food in a bucket for 6 bucks a kg.
Mixing sweet and sour pork with garlic chicken ? Why the hell not. Throw some ma pou tofu in there too and go home to cook your own rice because savings.
richmond walmart is actually good for chinese stuff

Has anyone used Walmart's curbside pickup service recently?
I'm visiting tomorrow and have an order to pick up. I thought I could just walk in to pick it up, but apparently I have to park my car in a designated pick up zone? Could anyone confirm their recent experience? Thanks.
Funny enough, I just used it today. Pretty fast, park in one of the stalls, call the number and let them know your order # and stall # and they came out with your full order within a few minutes.
This Helena girl looks jacked enough to probably beat the shit out of most of the 16 years in my high school (myself included)
The double ponytail also throws me off because she looks so masculine otherwise, lol
she's taking on adults so forget 16 yo's
any martial art is good, but i think bjj would make you humble b/c you basically get smashed and just try to survive b/c of all the rolling at lower beginner levels.
in terms of weight/age etc, i think rener had a decent explanation of belts in bjj
For $25k - $60K, you have some options, but ultimately, you need to ask yourself, what are you hoping to achieve out of the car? You can have a lot of fun in a base model Boxster, or a 987 Boxster like in your example. Buy the best model you can buy, but more importantly, when it comes to Porsches, buy the seller, and buy a car with a stack full of maintenance logs.

I can see myself trying my hand at AutoX but if I'm going tracking I'd either take it pretty easy or just buy myself a Miata/BRZ for that purpose.
I also prefer my sports cars fairly liveable so I don't mind the GT-ness of a 911 and I want my wife to feel comfortable riding along for a long trip (she did not like my NB Miata but could take a nice nap in a 992)

I think it's time for me to try out a few different cars like a Supra, an M2 (used, the new one is hideous) etc. I love the precision, lightness and build quality of a Porsche - I'm not sure the alternatives will speak to me the same way. When I drove a Lotus Emira I found it to be a bit of a flat experience and most people love it.

Both have the traditional porsche charm, but with the modernity that you can still bag on and enjoy daily without worry.
If I really wanted to (and the right car came along) I can stretch the budget quite a bit - just a matter of how much rope I want to ask the wife for. Mercedes Vancouver has a Boxster GTS that's almost EXACTLY what I've put a deposit down and it'd be $45k cheaper than I had planned to spend (https://www.mercedes-benz-vancouver....ter-id32987201).
The more modern Porsche will be comfortable for long drives, and what I would expect to be liveable. But don't expect it to handle like it's prepped for an IMSA race. These cars are way more car than most of us can handle on the street.
If you are looking to do the long drives and be able to enjoy it with the family, I'd say a PDK is more desirable. PDK itself makes the car liveable and you just get to enjoy the car. Rowing through gears on the 10 Freeway in NorCal and SoCal is not fun.
I think you'll really enjoy a more modern Boxster or Cayman, but the drawback as you already know, is it's a 2-seater. The price point is not bad, but you can't fit your family in there.
I'm in town tomorrow. Come take a look at my rat rod Boxster before it heads back east.
Having said all that, I'm looking forward to a RS Porsche photo shoot soon.

Oh damn... that Boxster GTS looks good!
With this particular one, since it is still under the original factory warranty, I think there is a good chance you can get Porsche Vancouver (which is right next door, and also under the Dilawri umbrella) to certify it so that you can purchase a 2 or 3 yrs Porsche extended warranty on it.

I think a manual is a must-have - the PDK is incredible and is the first autobox that makes me consider giving up a manual but I still enjoy rowing my own even when it's in shitty rush hour traffic.
As for Boxster vs 911 - I love the mid-engine dynamics of the Boxster over the 911 but the practicality of the 911 is pretty great in my use case. I've told the wife that there are going to be trips where it's daddy/daughter and no mom if it's the Boxster I get and she's just going to have to live with that.
As for seeing your car - that'll have to wait, still at Disneyland.
I just heard a Dana White interview saying that a 16 year old girl who's competent in jiu jitsu could choke you the f*ck out and you wouldn't stand a chance.
Is that really the case? Like against a 30 year old man who is in decent shape, is that possible?
That's not necessarily true at all.
I boxed for 4 years, and have a bunch of friends in BJJ, some run schools here in Vancouver.
If you were talking a street fight, you'd never want to utilize guard, you'll get lifted and dropped on your head on concrete, or kicked in the face by whoever else is involved, you never want to be on the ground.
An athletic guy would likely be able to overpower a 16 year old in a standard fight, if that girl goes flying, picked up or dropped onto something, it's game over.
I think the overall thought process is that BJJ for girls is excellent in an environment of someone attempting sexual assault, not to be morbid. You try that with someone trained in BJJ, and you'll either be choked out or screaming with a broken arm in no time.
So I'd agree with that assessment from that perspective, but in a "street fight", no.

Thanks all for the advice, got some thinking and test driving to do.
If you come to the noob meet, and if I can make it out, we can go for a drive in my M3. Keep in mind my car is not entirely stock. I've put about 10k worth of stuff on it, but no power mods.
You sound like you need a 4 seater minimum. Also depending on how old your daughter is, the 911 may only work for a limited time for the whole family anyways.
I was always told that most fights end up on the ground, but now that you mention it, you don't want to be on the ground. I can see someone stomping your head if you're rolling around.
We had a dad's night out yesterday at the Victor inside the Parq Casino. Pretty nice spot if you guys have never been. Food was good, service was good, and the courtyard outside is super nice, BC place was in the background lit up. I would say it's a premium spot for a date if you don't mind paying. And my goodness the amount of top tier talent (ie. ladies) that were there was impressive. Though, they looked like the type of women who would only talk to Badhobz and Hehe (chequing account balance being over $250k lol).
One of the guys had a plug at Enso night club (aka Harbour aka Gossip aka Plush) for the MYA concert, so we made our way over there after. It was a pretty decent concert. A lot of moms and people 30+ y.o but it was a good time. I was surprised.
Fathered more RS members than anybody else. Who's your daddy?

I was at the Nespresso Boutique where I saw these interesting looking glasses/cup/bowl. They were for Affogato. In Italian, affogato means drowned.............. kind of like doused. In Japanese doused is bukkake.
If you're in the North Burnaby area, cum on over and I'll make you guys some bukkake, I mean, affogato. This should be in coffee thread, but it's too hoity toity, gulolol. Plus, the only ice cream I can afford is the $2.99 2-Litre ice cream from Walmart. If you want, you could bring your own thick, heavy cream.
