I just want the people ticketed who stop there for minutes at a time and thrown on their hazard lights. But if the cop is there he's probably ticketing everyone.

I know there isn't much downtown highrise construction going on anymore but it is unfortunate that more buildings didn't include a small off-street waiting area. I feel like this is something that should be added to the development approval requirements by the city. The only buildings that I know which have a good design are the Devon Tower, Plaza 1000 and most of the condo buildings right along Prince's Island Park/Bow River pathway..

eh most buildings have loading zones.

And putting hazards on makes it ten times worse for some reason.

I pulled the trigger on these.

My car only came with one FOB, I guess the previous owner lost one. Thanks Scorp.

Checked with for for a replacement. Was expecting $200, nope $500. What in the serious fata?

Eesh, if you had a second key then adding additional keys is a basic procedure, but with only one in your possession, you're stuck getting one programmed.

That said, they sell Ford keys on AliExpress for under $50, you just gotta confirm it's the same key as yours and have it programmed at a Ford service department.

I can't imagine Ford who just quoted me that would program an Aliexpress key for nothing below 450. What does one or two matter? Why is two existing easy but one is not? Does not compute.

have you ever checked at a junk yard/pick 'n pull??

the pick 'n pull close to me has a big box of fobs on a table right when you go in. i've never looked to see what they cost though.

The key costs a few hundred from the parts department; the programming of said key is like 1 hour of book time.

Never used these, but I've seen lots of key programmer people on Kijiji starting at $50.

Hit up Scorp. Last dealership I was at said they’d give me a second fob for nothing if I came in 2 months down the road and said I lost the other one.

lmao you don't have the balls. I cannot imagine the cold sweat you work up as your trembling hands are attempting to put that sticker on a car before someone sees you.

Imagine passive aggressively putting stickers you bought from Amazon on a car.

Some city employees were putting up a camera today at the corner of either 26th or 27th. I'm assuming it is a traffic camera but maybe it is just a police security camera.
