That’s good to know, thank you! Perhaps the next time the stoatmobile needs a major service done I’ll drive it up to The Great White North :-)

Might sound funny, but that would bring big money in Newport Beach, California.

I was under the impression that registering a U.S.-made vehicle in Canada was part of the problem. Another problem is that the sales tax on vehicles sold in Canada can be very high (6% national sales tax plus provincial taxes as high as 9%).
All of the gauges are in the wrong units, too. LOL.

Hi Stoat!
Happy Thanksgiving! Sorry for the late reply. I’m not online as much anymore.
I’ll forward this to Squawk8888 who has the Canada ping list now.

“All of the gauges are in the wrong units, too.”
Speedometers are ‘bi-lingual’, and the other’s don’t matter much. And it’s easy to multiply miles by 1.6 if for some reason you gotta know how many kilometers you’ve gone. Or if it’s 100 km to the destination, multiply by .62 to know when you’ve gone far enough in miles.

Thank you so much, and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well :-) I apologize for not pinging this correctly but I was going by this pinglist which is VERY much out of date

Neverdem has been collecting names of current pinglist holders but I haven’t seen a finished list of the updated names yet :-(
