try the underground parking by the HSBC towers...it's basically right across the street from markham civic centre. Not to mention there's probably also more parking in the strip plaza on NE corner of 7 and warden. Parking this year should be better than previous years...i hope anyways

what date/time are you guys planning on going? haha maybe we should all park together in some ridiculously far place XD

^ lol

yeah im going sometime tonight around 7ish... going to try to parking just north of the event (the church on applecreek seems to have a lot of space... I imagine most of the corollas/beamers/benz's of markham will jam into the closest lot as they always do -.-).

I would park super far away at the nofrills plaza but I don't think my date will be too impressed lol

Aron,

You can always tell your date that, "this is how careful I treat my belongings..." then look at her with a funny eye to suggest that SHE will be treated just as well if not better when she becomes your belonging.

ahahaahahah

Installed my Optima Red Top last night, WOW what a difference in cranking speed!!!

I also bought an Intelligent charger with battery reconditioning at Canadian Tire, and cleaned up the old stock battery *Panasonic 75D23L* and put it on the charger. The charger sensed it was bad immediately and put it into reconditioning mode. It stayed in reconditioning mode overnight until the morning and went back into charge mode and finished up.

I took a battery load tester to it, and now the stock battery checks out okay.

The panasonic 75D23L is the OEM "uprated" battery. My car is 2007. I now have a spare battery. If anyone needs some help, just ask.

As for drivability, the car idles smoother now when running the A/C. Before at idle when the A/C cycles on/off it would drag the idle down and vibrate like crazy. It no longer does that.

Generator voltage output is consistently between 13.6 and 13.9V during drive and idle.

When everything is turned on: Xenon low beam, fog lights, A/C on MAX, radio playing, the generator output gets pulled down to 13.1V (though this is at idle, I haven't tested it in drive)

Telling her she could use the exercise, a lot of women will interpretate that as "calling her fat"... and you know what that means? no poon for you.

There is a separate thread for Mississauga meets, but the thread hasn't been active lately. That group is more active on Blackberry Messenger.

I guess we should put a little more clout into that thread too.

Well anyway, looks like the west guys are planning to just hit Red Maple, so if anyone else is down, we'll be there at 10pm. Maybe I'll swing by Night It Up after, or possibly before, we'll see.
