ICBC Bull S**T

I got one for you. If I were to move to BC from alta. and then go to register my wifes new Honda Accord the BC registry will charge me the provincial sales tax on the original purchase price of that car. The car has to be 2 yrs old or older to get out of it. Just another reason why it'll be cold day in hell before I'll be moving further west.

OK, on the moving subject! My son Rian moved to Alberta...His GMC Yukon was bought in BC from a dealer two months prior. It was all checked out with the Car Care Paperwork. Anyways, I drove it out to him with BC insurance for two days temp. My son, living at a place with no driveway couldn't park it on the street so he had to get Alberta insurance within the two days. It works out he had to get it inspected again first before the insurance. No big deal...yet!
We ended up calling a place that does inspections and the guys says it will cost 100.00. We get there and tell the guy the vehicle was just bought and inspected in BC...Yah, I know "who cares". The guy phones us and states it needs new tie-rods????? Like "F" off, :cussing: I drove it out with new tires. That thing was excellent on the roads and highways. I told the guy if the tie rods are shot why are the new tire not worn at all! (he just turn a little red) Anyways, the guy said to bad take it up with Car Care in BC. Is what really pissed me off is that the guy had us no matter what. It cost 700.00 for inspecton two tie rods and alignment. As far as I'm conserned this was one of those "I got him" and he's from BC......and the worst of it! There a lot of "real ****" driving on those roads.
