Up here in Canada you don't see wide open highways like that !
Blame over population in urban centers.
You would pay for the use of a super highway like that, which is why it's always clear of traffic.
Just like this one.

I doubt you could go over 65 mph on this highway anyway.

 

I don''t know about that... the drive from Edmonton to Calgary is about as desolate as it gets.

 

It's clear because traffic is being diverted. The speed limit is 75 here, and if you're not going 85, you're going to get passed like you're standing still. I drive this road every day. Also, the mountain on the left is owned by Rio Tinto, and the right of the pic is the Great Salt Lake. Not much can be built here.

 

It might be over there but it's not desolate in the GTA

 

You said "Canada" though, not GTA. LOL

 

You're right !

 

Trans Canada highway would be an open road to let your vehicle do it's thing but not wide enough in my opinion. It's still a two lane highway.
90 km/hr speed limit.
Not really a highway for the everyday 9-5 commuter, unless you plan on driving through Canada, province to province road tripping.
Can't beat a European highway for wide open "legal" throttle

 

Morning. Somewhat frustrated. One of the calipers I replaced on the ranger over the winter is hanging up a little bit. Noticed that if I let off the gas the truck slows down as if the brakes are on, truck doesn't roll like it used to and it pulls under light braking. Jack it up last night sure enough the LF turns hard. Cracked the bleeder and no change. At least it's under Napa warranty but the part that sucks is I got the stuff through my buddy's shop( He is a napa auto care center) and he is giving me a hard time about warrantying the stuff so F it I'll just spend the money and have work fix it.

 

Someone is a lap dog this morning

 

I'll take that bet. as mentioned, I'll stick with the starter. Starter gear failing to extend all the way for a lock is far more likley. The remans or 3rd party replacements aren't always the greatest. If it were the flexplate, it would most likley occur during the same attempt more than once before catching.... Starter FTW, - flexplate unlikely given COS description.
