Any car mechanics in the house?

Buy a bike!!! Using a car for 5 km trips is just ridiculous.

Thanks for sharing that opinion. You don't know the conditions under which you are expecting DeeBye to ride that bike. He lives in a snow belt. Holland*, AFAIK, never gets snow conditions like London, Ontario gets regularly each winter.

I also regularly drive a route that is less than 5 km. It would be extremely unsafe for me or my children to try to bike that particular distance here in Toronto.

You could have kept out of this thread altogether. You could have asked politely why riding a bike was not an option. Instead you chose to tell him he was worthy of ridicule. :(

On topic, DeeBye, I have a wonderful (competant and trustworthy) mechanic who has managed my vehicle issues for many years. He has a lot of experience with keeping older cars on the road. Unfortunately, he is a bit distant for you to consult... :whistling:
