LOL, ya think Toronto doesn't have any shoddy construction? Am I gonna have to google it??
Lots of great homes, new and old, out here. The downtown area has lots of older dumps, but some spectacular old brownstones too.

Hope you do well. And make enough money to buy a nice 911. You are a good guy Jake, you'll do well.

Thanks! Yeah I have already dealt with a couple snakes. I have a pretty well-tuned BS detector, and I'm not afraid to tell someone to pound sand. The selling agent on that aforementioned house started getting his elbows into me because we didn't have a professional inspection (we used a builder). I said no problem, we'll get a proper inspection... I'll call the building inspector. That was the end of that.
And FWIW, even if I make enough money to buy a nice 911, I won't. I'll buy a tatty one that I can drive year round, and leave parked downtown without worrying about. Driving my dad's Carrera made me realize I don't really enjoy using a car with kid gloves.
PS: Jim, about your "snow tire" avatar. Those are Blizzak ws50's. I feel better now, thanks.
