Domestic's VS Import's
Obviously when car guy's get into a conversation about car manufacturer's it's going to turn into a heated conversation real quick when a domestic guy is speaking to a import guy. 
Usually how the conversation end's is the import guy explaining to the domestic guy; sure your heavy V8 can go in a strait line but it cant make a turn. And the domestic guy explaining that living in a city setting all he has is a set of lights and an open road with no banking curve's. Then it comes down to imports being more reliable and domestic guy's talking about how expensive insurance is on an import over domestic. Now before I judge I want to make myself clear to everyone that I have owned Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Chevy, Pontiac, Dodge and Jeep vehicle's. I have had the privilege of driving imports and domestics. What I can tell you is that they really are not that different. I know what your saying how can that be ?? Well the first thing that people need to understand is most imports are actually domestics because they are built within Canada and the United state's. They are built by the same Americans and Canadians that build the GM vehicle's Ford's and Chrysler's. The current Honda Civic for example was actually designed by a Canadian and built at a Canadian plant by Canadians. Yes the car company itself is Japanese, but really it's not much different. Now I know you die hard Honda fanatic's are going to be yelling at your computer screen right now but honestly I want all of you to listen and understand why I am saying this. Back in the 80's when Honda's were built in Japan and imported into North America the car's were reliable car's that no one wanted to buy. Why were they reliable ? Well in Japan employee's did not work the same way that employee's in North America work. They were disciplined and worked very productive to keep their job's. While in North America unionized worker's were paid allot more and worked in an environment that was very liberal. Purchasing a domestic car that was reliable or unreliable sometimes depended on the day it was built. If it was a Monday or Friday I can guarantee some of those car's were built unreliable due to the employee's on Monday coming off a weekend of partying or Friday when everyone had a long week and just want to go home. It also has to do with crappy material's being used. Recently I decided to go with the hype and purchase a brand new 8 total kms on the car Honda Civic Si. It had to be good ! After all the people kept saying these car's hold their value and reliability with Honda is amazing. My first 6 month's with this car the transmission began to act up. I thought no way it must be me maybe I just don't drive it the way it should be driven. However after searching I came to the realization that I was not the only person with this issue. This was a big issue thousand's of Honda customer's had this exact same problem. How could this be ? It's a Honda right ? The sad part about it was after speaking with some Honda owner's they actually were claiming that they probably pushed the car too hard and messed up the tranny themselves. Huh ? It is funny to listen to some people that are so in love with Honda that they are willing to take the blame for Honda's problem's. Now I thought also that maybe it's because it is a new car ? After quickly checking the Internet I found that not just 2006 + model's have this issue but even prior to that Honda's had problem's with transmission's. Back to 2000 the Civic and Accord had a slew of problem's. Hmmm so why is everyone all about these car's and reliability ? Honda is smart they keep telling everyone how reliable they are and fuel efficient and the kid's believe. Marketing to the youth ......I mean Honda sponsor's Indy car racing right ? And Domestics sponsor Nascar right ? OHHH see now this could be an issue. The younger demographic unless living in Alabama or Texas or something really does not care about Nascar. Can we bring up immigration ? Sure why not. As more and more immigrant's come into Canada and the USA more and more they will purchase an import. Why ? Because that is what they know, these people watch Football played with feet and a round ball, not Football played with a pigskin and a helmet. Go to an American football game and tell me how many Honda's you see in the parking lot. Now go to a Soccer game and tell me how many Ford's you see. Anyway back to kid's and their undying love for imports. Vehicle reliability depends more on the employee's building the vehicle's and the testing that goes into the vehicle prior to production. Also what day the vehicle was produced. You speak with one guy with a Civic he loves it no problem's at all. you speak to another guy he has had issue's from the day of purchase. I have had great Domestic vehicles that would never die and bad Domestic vehicles that were lemons from the get go. I have had lemon Imports and great Imports. The truth is that weather you purchase a Honda or a Chrysler you may be getting the one that was built on a Friday evening. The one at the end of the shift where the guy on the production line looks up at the clock and realizes he has 1 minute left till he goes home to watch the hockey game and just leaves the car sitting without bolting the engine in properly. No matter what you purchase your taking a chance. Will Honda's keep on going past 300,000 kms ? Yes .. will GM or Ford's keep going past 300,000 kms ? Yes .. why is their still so many ugly Sunfire's, Cavalier's, Camaro's, Mustang's on the road ? The truth is everyone has an opinion. Some guy's swear by Nissan or Honda, some guys swear by GM or Ford. Reliability is in the eye of the beholder and I really don't give a shit what make I will be driving tomorrow as long as it suit's my needs and fits my budget. Will I ever buy another Honda probably. Will I ever buy another Domestic probably. I have no lean towards any company. I feel that's a great thing to sit on the fence because I have so many vehicle's that I can chose from.
My name is LeeRoy ... Go Fuck Yourself Brampton !
[Lee Rant] Toronto Maple Leafs where is the heart ?
I really need to give this guy a spell checker an account...
Last night the Leafs opened the regular season against the Canadians. I was so pumped up and ready for this game, thinking about all the big guys we have put on our team like Komisarek, Exelby, Buechemin, Orr, and Rosehill. I was rubbing my hands together like the grinch that stole christmas in utter joy that Montreal fans are about to see a beating of a lifetime. However …what I saw made me think.. why bother having all these guys if not one of them throw a fuckin hit ?? I watched the smaller Canadians run every Leaf into the boards the entire game. Everytime one of the Leafs touched the puck he got hit. At one point Luke Schenn got hit from behind with no penalty and no one beat the Canadian player that did it. One Canadian tok 3 seperate runs at Toskala and yet …no one came in to do anything about it. I watched all night as the Leafs player would skate into the Canadians zone and do a fly bye past the Canadian players with the puck. I watched as Jason Blake was the only Leafs throwing any hits at all. Ponikarovski too but my gawd. Grabovski was knocked down about 4 times in the game. Not one Leaf came to his aid. Not one Leaf stood up for him. In the end the Montreal Canadians won the game with 12.5 seconds left in OT. Not only did they win the game they had over 35 hits to the Leafs 12. WTF ? Honestly if this is what I as a Leaf fan have to look forward to, I wont be watching much of the games this season just like last season. This is a joke and I hope that Wilson and Burke speak with the players. Its opening night .. regular season against our rivals and you played like Pussys !! What the hell happend to the Forcheck ?? what happened to hitting every Canadian player who touches the puck. Lay some of them out .. what the hell I was yelling at a damn TV last night even my wife got up said the Leafs are pussys and walked away. WOW ! I was so excited for the season to start waiting on this new bigger badder Leafs team. Instead Montreal pushed us all over the ice with smalled players, and we looked dumb.
My question is where is the heart ?? Bring Wendel Clark out of retirement to teach these overpriced sissies what heart is.
Im LeeRoy … and Go fuck yourself Brampton
Lee's Rant #6
Just when you thought it was over, Lee is back...
I want to be serious for one moment about the useless kids that are growing up these days.
I am now 31 years old, and back when I was 14 I began listening to rap music. This was back when NWA and KRS1 was really making people notice hip hop music. I began listening to this music and eventually shopping for clothes to dress like rap artists. Growing up in Brampton I was the only kid at my school dressed like this. While the other white kids were dressed like a New kid on the block or dressed up with long hair listening to Def leopard, I had giant baggy jeans an oakland raider baseball hat and a shirt with bullet holes in it. As a white kid growing up loving this music all of the black guys and girls at my school hated me because of this. They used to surround me and ask me to take off the clothing. Now I went through all that shit I did my time before Eminem and before House of pain and before Vanilla Ice .. I was the only white kid around my area listening and dressing this way. Eventually people knew who the fuck I was. I didn't take shit from anyone and began carrying a back pack with my weapons of choice. I'm not happy or proud about this but it was the case that eventually I was arrested on the corner of Queen and McLaughlin in Brampton next to a Tim Hortons by about 20 cop cars all guns drawn. I made a name for myself and showed up many places to settle some debts with people. Now days I see these Indian kids and White kids thinking they are big and bad. Thinking like they are gangsters and giving me looks when I've been in places. The amount of times that I almost just knocked a mother fucker out ...wooo weeee.. but I hold my composure now. I have a wife and a child to think about. I have a full time job to support my mortgage payments and my car leases. Last thing I need is to go to jail now and fuck all that up. But while I did all that shit when I was younger these kids now live in these big rich houses and mother and father have tons of money. These kids actually think they are gangster living in that 5 bedroom home BMW in the driveway Moms SUV in the garage..wearing $200 Nikes that there parents payed for. Spitting on the pavement and talking like they just walked out of Jane and Finch. These kids need to understand something... I did that shit back when I was 14 ...17 years ago before it was cool to do it. Before all you fuck brains were even a twinkle in your daddys eye. You kids of today have taken something and beat the shit out of the style to the point that it aint cool anymore. Its dumb ! When I was 14 I was living with my father .. recently divorced no money ..sleeping on a couch .. moving from place to place. Eventually moving to Scarborough and ending up within an actual gang while I lived in a half way house. Unlike the fake kids now days and your trying to act tough ? Mother fucker .. if you only knew me back then bitch .. you wouldnt be even talking .. you would be walking to the other side of the fuckin street. Kids these days have no respect for anything. They dont give a shit about life, about there parents about there future. You kids need to wake the fuck up and realize you aint gangsters .. go down to some of the areas in Toronto or Scarborough ,, get your parents to drop you off on a corner to find your own way home and see how long it take you to start crying. You wanna be hard core .. move to those areas and deal with that shit. But while you live with your loving parents in your huge house and nice car in the burbs .. you need to shut the fuck up. Because one day your gonna come across a mother fucker like me that just doesn't give 2 fucks and will string you and your family up by your fuckin ears and but fuck your mom in front of you til you shit your baggy ass pants.
That's my Kids wanna be Gangsta rant .. will be back for more tomorrow. Till then ..go fuck yourself Brampton.

Lee's Rants #5
More Lee...He's a giver...
BRAMPTON ……
Let me just speak for a moment about the epicentre of hell on earth. I have no use for Brampton .. and the world shouldnt either. I think that we should create something around the outside of Brampton .. something like a 100 foot concrete wall, now bare with me here 
A 100 foot concrete Electrified wall around Brampton .. and run all our sewer pipes right into the centre of that pig !! Let our rotting shit fill up inside the walls of that fuckin waste till everyone within those walls are screaming like bitches… AHH AHHH .. ITS ROTTING SHIT .. damn fuckin right you turd burglers .. its rotting shit and you going to drownd in it. I will climb up on that 100 foot wall and launch my shit right off it into that pig of a fuckin town .. and then we should run elctricity into the walls of the concrete .. so ocassionally people get shocked up and shit.. then throw all our snakes into that sesspool of balls…then you got snakes and dirty shit and floating balls within a wall of that fucker. Id throw some lions in with that shit .. you know lions trying to swin and fend for there lives within the walls of electrified shit and balls.
Thats my comment about Brampton

And more...
Its freezin … its so cold I could hang a 3 piece suite off my fuckin nipples !
Speakin of cold .. what the hell happened to global warming ? I fuckin was sooo happy when they said global warming is happening and dolphins were dying and shit. I thought cool..now I dont have to worry about swimming in public pools no more. This is cold as ball my dick turned turtle. I think we should all run our cars outside for a couple of days strait ..warm this shit up boy .. who cares about killing bees .. bees are no good for anything. They sting and buzz .. and when they are buzzing they are bothering my sleep. Laying in my bed trying to sleep and I can hear some fuckin bee outside buzzing and shit. I ran outside and punched that bee right in the fuckin face. Then scooped it up took it inside threw it in a glass jar and poured honey on that bitch. Then I put some flour and feather pieces that fuck looked like a mini chicken when I was done with it .. then I took it back outside and let it go fuck flowers .. then a squirell grabbed that shit and I had to trip the squirell and choke it to let go of the bee / chicken ..fucker spit at me .. got me in the eye and took off running. So I went inside to grab my shot gun .. chased it through the back yard on my fence shot a couple times .. missed it .. but it knew I meant business .. fucker wont ever come back again I tell you that.
Thats why I hate cold .. and there should be global warming.Lee's Rants #2
More deep thoughts from Lee:
Speaking of Global warming .. I want the ice caps to melt because im thirsty and ice caps are delicious ! If Global warming happened I wouldnt be thirsty and starving kids and stuff can all have a big gulp.
Do you think that if ice caps melted .. all the people living on icecaps .. like natives, seals, wolves, big feets would all drowned or would they evolve like the walrusses evolved from plant eating dinosaurs in the wild to swimming terror threats ? Anyway .. so like they evolve one day ice caps .. next day ,, you see like little floating pods of houses and caves on the water with big feet in em..and natives .. could you get a satelite signal out in the water ?? Like say you rape some starchoice for free with a pin card thingy .. could you get that shit out there ,, ?? I mean like Seals could really evolve after watching some of that shit. Why dont they put TV’s in Zoo’s for the lamas and girraffes ? Like they scared those mother fuckers are going to watch CNN figure shit out and run wallstreet into the ground ?? Thats all im saying .. what if ??
Lee's Rants #1
Here is Lee ranting about some stupid shit again:
I would like to bring up a thought ……………………
My life sucks .. I used to live on the street and had to kill a mother fucker for my food and crack and shit. So I sprinkle some crack in sewers and stuff when I walk ..then later I come back to catch a mother fucker twitchin in the curb.. double clap that whores ears ..and take there shit. Alot of times they aint got shit .. but ill take there hair. Hair is expensive on the black market.. I can trade that shit for some good crack and a pelt and shit. So like I was saying I lived on the street Kennedy and Egg .. Toronto .. I remember this one time .. a bunch of us fuckin stole some fireworks and shit from this kid standing on the corner .. selling them. Like unsuspecting I ran up on this kid and was like nice roman candle BITCH ! He was like huh ?? I grabbed it quick and shit .. I was smoking a blunt at the time .. so I lit up the roman candle with the blunt and jammed that mother fucker in that kids asshole fast times.. kid was like WTF .. then I double drop kicked the kid in the asshole off the curb into traffic .. fucked up yo .. kid got hit by TTC bus and I was like sweet .. free transfer .. so I grabbed this bitches box of fireworks .. asked for a transfer and hopped the barbed wire fence at the post office .. so .. that night .. I gave the box out to about 50 mother fuckers .. we all started lighting this shit up . roman candles are going off sonic booms going off .. like grenades .. I was screaming like holy shit .. my boy got fucked in the mouth with a ball of roman candle fire .. think it was green .. he had his mouth open like a chump cause he was laughing and shit at this old lady running on fire and shit. Then he got the rape.. so like it felt like the video game Halo and shit .. balls of fire are flying everywhere .. people are lobbing sonic boom stick and shit .. some mother fucker through a burning school house at me .. so I pulled out my berretta .. and started shooting .. people were getting fucked up .. I thought it was funny and shit .. then a fuckin big foot came out of the field and chased me over the barbed wire fence .. till I got on the TTC bus tried to use my transfer and fucker said that shit expired .. so I ran off into the dark .. climbed up a street light and snorted some gun powder .. got high as a mother fucker .. !! So then a girl was like looking like a prostitute so I asked her and she started running .. think she thought I was like a robber or something.. so i chased her trying to tell her that I was cool.. and just wanted to share some crack .. she ran accross a street and got hit by a cab and shit .. and so I took the cab back to my washing machine box in the back of the train station at Kennedy. Crazy night.

Yellow Fever
The funny thing about white people and Europeans is that they love getting themselves an asian girl. Unfortunately, most of the times, they end up getting the ugly ones.
Hate to burst the bubble here, but most of the hot asian girls are with asian guys. The rest of you get the ugly ones, and when you try real hard sometimes you can get yourself a gold digger..

Nirvana disapproves of GH5 Cobain avatar
Nirvana disapproves of GH5 Cobain avatar:
The pair, who have no legal say in the matter but are probably worth listening to anyway, said that they were 'dismayed and very disappointed' in the use of the avatar. 'While we were aware of Kurt's image being used with two Nirvana songs, we didn't know players have the ability to unlock the character.'
Novoselic and Grohl then entreat Activision to 're-lock' the avatar so that it can only be used to play Nirvana songs. Which is a surprisingly even-handed request.
----
(se: It have been extra awesome if you could have used the Kurt Cobain avatar to play Heroin Hero. I would definitely pay money to see everyone bitch and cry about that. Anyhow... Tupac was much better than Kurt anyways.. talking about dead musicians...)
