I used to buy Santa Cruz bikes. There's a reason why I switched to YT…

did you^^ buy an Infiniti?

Yes. A QX50.

Which institution picked up the Loan?

Infiniti Financial Services

I just bought a $30k used car from Auto West Infinity dealership. 0.9% financing from the dealership over 3 years on the amount I decided to borrow. I was going to borrow less, but have decided to invest the extra money instead.

Some good info on here regarding the home owners grant.

There was a 15% decrease in downtown property prices 2008-2009. I know, because I was trying to sell. Luckily I didn't accept any lowball offers and ended up keeping the place.

It's amazing what a difference a year can make. If like you, I would have tried to sell a year earlier, then the place would have gone. I was trying to sell to fund chasing tail further south :)

What is going on with that seat?

Yeah - it's certainly a bit different. I'm still trying it out. It's meant to be better for your "man parts"…

Also got some NOBL 33 wheels in November. Quite a different ride to what I'm used to, but liking a lot. Nice to deal with a great bunch of local guys. Wheels with some metal and rubber attached:

Thanks for embedding for me Dean! The bike looks a little dirtier these days :)

That RM Maiden will be my next DH bike - but not for a few seasons yet.

Mine is real old school with 26" wheels! :)

I'm a SW guy, but interesting to see there are HW jobs up north in Prince George. How did that 3 year commitment work? If IBM fired the guy he would be paid the remaining term of the 3 year contract?

When I moved further east from downtown to the eastside almost 4 years ago I already thought house prices were ridiculous. I remember saying to my friend, "yes I'm buying another place, but no way are prices going to go higher". Wrong.

For people like us who like the outdoor pursuits it's starting to look a little ridiculous working 5 days a week when you could sell up and go mountain biking/skiing every day…
