Used Car Market Drying Up?
Forum member richardchan2002 is asking other members if they are noticing that the used car market is drying up? “I’ve noticed there are a lot more cars being listed for sale, not only here on beyond but in other places as well” He notes. “A lot of them have very fair asking prices close to black book and still aren’t moving. Many people I know have resorted to trading their cars in because they can’t move their car at all.”

Saskatchewan Bans Lift Kits; Sets Sights On “Monster Trucks”
Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) recently implemented a new policy targetting truck owners who install lift kits to raise the height of their trucks. The new policy was introduced following studies in the US that showed that trucks with the lift kits made it more dangerous for other users of the road. I doubt SGI is going to target everyone with a lift-kit, but instead will focus those on the extreme end with danerously high ride heights. Either way, many truck owners are furious.

iPhone 3G First Look and Discussions
How could there be a weekly review during the iPhone 3G launch that didn’t include a nod to Apple’s second generation iPhone? Rumors are that Roger’s is ramping up their data plans. The data plans will apparently be starting at $30 for 300MB and will go up to $100 for 10GB. Are you switching to Rogers/Fido to get a second generation iPhone?
