...... They have always been fair and always willing to help. Everybody has always been nice, friendly and willing to take the time to help anybody out ( in other words very Canadian like)

Careful now. Canadians sometimes have trouble living up to that reputation. -hehe-

Incidentally and FWIW, Americans in some contexts are capable of playing extremely well with each other. It can be rather inspirational if you ask me.

Careful, there's a newfoundland based company I deal with professionally that always seems to blame the customer first

I agree some Canadians are not as friendly but most of us are.

Can’t explain the newfies though.

Capers understand Newfies (not matter how politically incorrect that sounds).


Guys! The American buddies are not going to understand this Canadian version of 'us versus them'. Those that do might conclude that Canadians are not that much different from... Americans.

Agreed. We are not that much difference. And also have similar mindsets.

Is it bad that I have to back pedal a bit? The company isn't in newfoundland, they're in Nova Scotia. Don't know why I had Newfie on the brain.

Capers, Newfies, Bluenosers, Cajuns, Frenchies, Frogs... in Eastern Canada you can never be too careful these days.

Joking aside, Nova Scotians are some of the friendliest, most hospitable Canadians you could possibly hope to meet. It is also an incredibly beautiful province to tour. If you have yet to tour the Cabot Trail that navigates the edges of Cape Breton, do it.

Nova Scotia has been on my list for long time..... Somehow need to couple that with a boundary waters canoe trip.... cause it's a damn long drive from here.

Minnesota-Ontario border to Nova Scotia is a 3-day hard drive. Two separate vacations perhaps?

Wanna take a canoe on the wild side? Canoe the lower north shore of the St. Lawrence River/Gulf towards the border with Labrador. Beyond Natashquan you run out of roads. Wild. Never done it but have always wanted to. Atlantic salmon, sea-run brook charr, lots of other critters.

I have canoed tripped the Pacific Ocean though. Specifically the Gwaii Haanas in Haida Gwaii. By comparison, the Gulf of St. Lawrence would be a calm piece of cake. Though with surface temperatures near 2C in some parts, a survival jacket is still a must.

I still remember this one my grandmother told when I was a kid...

How does a newfie tie his shoe?
[Puts right foot up on a chair.]
[Bends down and ties left shoe.]

Ah, the good old days before political correctness and over-sensitivity drove the lowly but good-natured sensus humorus to extinction...

I used to go to NScotia & NBrunswick for work but all I remember was the bar crawls. Everytime, till almost blackout. The facility managers would then somehow get me back to the hotel safe.. Those Canadians can drink, eh!?
a boundary waters canoe trip..
This is on the bucket list park tour! Gonna take some planning but hopefully next summer..

. But I understand your standoffishness.

Still good to see you here buddy.

not really standoffishness (LOL is that a word?? IT IS NOW!) it's more the fact that people don't want to listen and become jerks about it.... especially after reading the elite rompess room. LOL what fun that was, literal fun, and amusing... People claiming they "suck up cat dust" which isn't a thing (unless you have a sentra where the cats were literally built in to the exhaust manifold, stupid nissan)... I've been around nissan & their motors over 15 years now... I've built a couple VG motors and VQ motors... My VG motor is on E85 pushing 500+ whp.... but yet... people want to act like that... "sucking up cat dust" that's never happened to any other VQ motor... ever... and I've been around those since the 350z debut in '03... literally a million of those motors... never happened before. I got really tired of that mantra being pushed as fact when no one was posting cylinder wall pics or providing any evidence of it... people spending 400+ dollars on cats they don't necessarily need. I thought i made it pretty obvious with my low cost LED light sales I was here for the community, and to help as much as possible, but apparently some were blind to that... so it's w/e. I'll stay on the Z forums discussing high HP VG and VQ builds and stick with the xterra snapchat group we started, which is awesome. lol I guess it is standoffishness (new word.. call webster :) ). heh. good to see and chat with you too though Terry D!

Pardon my ingnorance again. Form what I see, that's not a private message. Example: trying to buy something from a member here and provide a PayPal email or a phone number, the entire www could see it. Is that correct?

Glad to have found this site. I'd like to be an active, contributing member to the Xterra community. I was doing that over on TNX, but then a moderator decided he has a personal problem with me and recently started making up excuses to edit my content. Then when I reported him to other mods and admins, including screenshots and everything, radio silence. They obviously read it because he sent me another message unloading a whole load of problems he had, making other absolutely untrue accusations, and referenced my talking to them. Crazy stuff.

Luckily somebody messaged me about this place, and I'm hoping it's different here.

It's definitely different here. Enjoy your stay.

Thanks. I'm "new" to the online part of being an X owner, and I first found that site last fall. I saw references to some sort of problem or exodus, but every time I did they disappeared just as quickly. For instance, I didn't know until yesterday they claimed copyright to images I took.

Corporate stuff aside, I hope this isn't a "my way or the highway" type of place. I'm always respectful and play by the rules, and am open and amenable to editing my posts, clarifying, and whatever else as long as my posts are mine (as in my words, I don't mean cooyright-wise). Thanks for having this place.

Thanks all for the welcome. I'm now officially a refugee because I just got banned from TNX. The other mods/admins never even responded to a message. No explanation. Oh well.

I dunno what's going on over there. I have only been back to browse the for sale section a few times.

It's a shame. That's supposed to be the point of having multiple moderators. In this case, the moderator lied about me ignoring messages and why a post was edited, even though I had time-stamped messages and screenshots that showed the opposite. I asked that moderator to remove the disparaging comment about me, and replace it with an apology that stayed up for as long as the post about me was there. That was met with a long rant about a number of different things, for example accusing me of "alluding to someone's lack of intelligence" because on a for sale post that listed Canadian dollars, I did the conversion and replied "for others wondering, $__ Canadian is $__ in USD."

Like I said, I messaged the other moderators and admins with a link to his post lying about me, and included screenshots of the messages to/from him, and asked them to intervene. Never got a response. I'm guessing the reason for the ban was posting about it here. So be it.

I don't know if the posts about it are still there (probably not) but there's a secret forum there you have to be invited to join or see where they bash folks and talk crap. It was revealed during the "upgrade" last year and was another major contributor to the exodus.

Here there might be some shiat talking but it's usually too your face and in good fun.

Join in on the post whoring thread!
