I'll definitely try out Grizzly House, and I'll explore around Waterton, thanks for the tips! For playing around I usually go pretty safe especially in unfamiliar territory, as you guys mentioned, last thing I want is to get intimate with a moose on the road.

For sure. Waterton is pretty great and I would also recommend you go there. It's an excellent day trip.

I don't know if there would be much to do in waterton outside of snowshoeing and xc skiing. A lot of that place closes down for the winter. A drive down to sparwood, over crowsnest pass, down to waterton, and then back up would be a nice drive though.

Yeah, to be clear you're not going to be go clubing in Waterton at night. You'll be lucky to find more than 2 restaurants open.. but there is charm to that if you are OK with that.

Three sisters parkway is a pretty cool drive if it's open. It should connect with #40 to the south. When I drove there it was ice covered and twisty so you have to be careful but the scenery is amazing.

40 will be closed for sure on the south end, but even so kicking over to 22 south is also a nice highway drive as you skirt the foot of the mountains and foothills. The Frank Slide area is impressive if you've never seen it before. Highway/train tracks are cut right through it. e: Not Hwy 22, but close by. slidebite fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Dec 6, 2014 |

I figured about Waterton, should be cool to check out a small town like that though. I'm really hoping that conditions allow the cool mountain roads to be open, looks like there's a few roads that are seasonal, and I'm guessing a lot of the smaller roads don't get serviced at all. I've been poking around google maps and it looks like 40 is open until where Smith Dorrain trail (looks like it's also called three sisters parkway) would shoot you back up to Canmore. Looks like it would make for a nice scenic drive. I've gone though the frank slide area on the last trip, but we didn't really stop to explore (trip ended up pretty fast paced, tried sticking in way too much into one trip so some sections where just a lot of driving rather than spending time exploring the areas in between) HWY 11 up to the end of what looks like a lake but is apparently the north Saskatchewan river looks like it would be pretty scenic too. Definitely want to hit up the Lussier hotsprings (Off of 93 around Canal Flats) as long as the road is open. Any other suggestions for hotsprings that aren't commercialized and turned into glorified hot tubs?

I've been swamped with finals lately, but took some study breaks to go through some pics, play with photoshop, and insta-whoring it up. Selective color is pretty fun to play with, I'm starting to really like it.  Same with sepia tone, oh god, I'm turning hipster   Through the grass  Yay! Bright lights!

And here we are, the Banff 2015 NYE roadtrip. Over 4000 km and no cruise, drat my foot was sore but it was worth it.  We stayed in Silvercreek Lodge in Canmore AB. Really nice place, nice and big rooms, full kitchen, laundry in room, and best of all, this was the view from the room when we arrived.  The next morning we were greeted with this:  I don't think I would ever get tired waking up to that. The sheer size of the mountains is just impossible to catch on camera, you really have to be there to experience it. It's crazy how scenic this area is. Perfect timing stopping along HWY 1A on the way to Lake Louise. Probably one of my better shots.  Of course we stopped at the regular sightseeing spots and took the required pictures, haha.  Anyway, the two hills we managed to hit up out there were Sunshine and Lake Louise. Obvious big choices but first time actually out in the mountains to snowboard/ski in the mountains so the popular choices it is.     The mountains are crazy, especially for an amateur who hasn't snowboarded in a few years and comes from flat land. The biggest "hill" I've gone down prior was at a Manitoban hill/valley called Assessippi. These trails kicked my rear end. Sore and bruised, the Kokanee Kabin was the place to go and relax.  Back at the lodge during the evenings we tried out a great drinking game, seriously, all you beer bong players take note, this game is much more fun at parties. That game is Honeycomb.  Object of the game is to bounce your ball into a cup. all your drinking cups are in the center (supposed to be in a Honeycomb shape, but w/e) Two cups go around the circle and if one manages to reach the other it gets stacked into that cup and whoever it landed on has to drink. This repeats until all the drinks your drinks are gone, then you're out. By the end of the game you have a huge stack for one person and a single cup for the other, this game really ramps near the end. I'd say it's actually much more fun than beer pong and it's derivatives. Continuing on, on the days when we weren't at the hills we did manage to do some exploring. Went on an adventure through BC trying to get to Lussier Hotsprings.  Of course the highway would have been the most sane path, and probably would have taken us there, but we decided to take some back roads.  It started off pretty nice, coming off the highway on Settlers way in Kootenay, and it soon turned into a pure logging trail and was a blast to go down. We ended up at a bridge, and I have to repeat myself, the mountains are beautiful.  The logging roads were great, nice elevation changes.  Lots of twisting and turning, and when the trees cleared,  you would get some amazing sights.   Sadly, shortly after passing this bridge, the road we wanted to continue on was unplowed and completely untouched. We weighed the risks and it wasn't worth it in case we either drove off the road, got lost, or ran into any issues. There's no reception and being completely untouched it's really doubtful that anyone would stumble across us if we did get stuck. So turned around and backtracked a bit and found a different trail to make our way down to Canal Flats.  Of course the trip wouldn't be complete without an animal sighting.  When we were farther I thought these were moose, they looked pretty drat huge. The road continued on and didn't dissapoint.  The ice falls in the mountains always draw my eyes. Something about them.  Once we got out of the wilderness, we decided to go to Fairmont instead since Canal Flats was pretty much a ghost town, and we were hungry. We found this nice little place to eat in Fairmont, their shtick is that their food is completely made from scratch. This was on the menu  Ron Swanson would be proud. Since we were already in Fairmont, it was getting late, we gave up on finding the Lussier hotsprings and just went for the convenient choice of Fairmont  Your hair freezing up while sitting in nice hot water is a pretty nice experience. We had a little New Years celebration, watched the fireworks from the balcony due to everyone being too intoxicated to drive anywhere, and the girls decided to liven up the room with a heaping portion of sparkles. drat things were a huge pain to clean up after.  Another day, another adventure. Only two in the group wanted to go to skiing on the last night we had at the lodge, so the rest of us dropped them off and went on a nice drive from Lake Louise to Golden to Radium, and back to Lake Louise to pick them up again.  Stopped before Golden at Kicking Horse rest area to take some pics Saw some Rams. The sign was very accurate on that day.   I found myself a Tunnel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaUsdNKIhRs And compressed the 5 hours of driving into this 9.5 min film. (hopefully youtube doesn't end up muting the music, if it does it might be a bit boring. The drive between Golden and Radium was unfortunately not that scenic nor interesting) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2h5vvMVSDA On the last day before heading back, we spent the day in Banff village, did the touristy things like souvenir shopping and whatnot, and we went to the Grizzly house, and it turns out that one of our friends that lives out there actually works there as a cook, neato.  Of course we went with the exotic platter and a modified Alberta platter, so we had the pleasure of feasting on Ostrich, Frog, Elk, Rattle Snake, Wild Bore, Beef, Venison, Shark, Duck, Buffalo, and Kangaroo.  Ostrich, Rattle Snake, and Kangaroo were definitely my favorites, Shark and Duck were letdowns, I had high hopes for them but they just didn't measure up. And thus concludes my Banff trip. On the way back the gas prices were awesome, under a $1.00 for premium in Medicine Hat.  The prices in Winnipeg have now caught up, but still, it was nice at the time. Oh, and in Veloster news, we have had some issues with the service at Murray Hyundai. To the point where I have written a 1000 word (actually a little over 1000) letter/email to Hyundai Canada. I will update this thread eventually with that. For now, hopefully you have enjoyed the latest installment in the Baja adventures.

The mountains are amazing, for anyone who hasn't experienced the Rockies, you should definitely do it at least once in your lifetime. It's just a must-have experience. Plus I can't say I've ever been disappointed going through the mountains. I really want to make it a life goal to live in the mountains at one point. Would be nice  And thanks SSS for the Grizzly House recommendation, probably the most expensive meals I've ever had but it was a worthwhile experience. Don't think I'd go for the full monty next time around, but as a once-in-a-lifetime experience it was pretty great. I really wish I had the G1w footage from the logging road, but all it saved was the first 3 minutes of the road once we left the highway, and the rest looks like it got overwritten before the old stuff did. It was plugged in the entire time and I checked it a few times and it looked like it was recording but who knows why it was overwritten. I since have cleared the card completely and it looks like it writes and overwrites properly now so I'm just assuming it was a glitch. Friend of mine recorded a few minutes of video from his phone as well so I might throw that video up if it ends up looking somewhat interesting. AcidRonin posted:This is a super It is ECU controlled, but I currently don't have the rear wheel sensors hooked up, and the pitch/yaw sensor is out of the car as well. It also resides on the WRX body harness which is not installed. Without TCS/ABS systems functioning, cruise cannot be enabled. I would have to wire in the pitch/yaw sensor and wire in the rear wheel sensor and hope everything plays nice to get cruise working. I asked my tuner and he doesn't have access to those systems through the accessport so there's no way to tune around it. slidebite posted:Off topic, but where is a good place to source OEM parts in I actually haven't found a cheap source in Canada. I usually order from the US from (I think this is the one I usually go through) subarupartswarehouse.com They have 15% - 20% off on most major holidays so I buy online and have it shipped to ND to a parcel service. Locally I'm stuck with either dealer parts department (usually $rape), junkyard which is hit and miss for subaru's here or Cross Canada (decent place for OEM style replacement parts, but they mostly have stuff you'd need when repairing collision damage rather than maintenance or mechanical parts)

In addition, I have nothing but glowing praise for Subaru's best AWD system, ie. Mechanical LSD's in front and rear combined with the 6 speed trick DCCD and the DCCDpro controller, paired with some amazing winter tires and an incredible suspension setup. This combo is near unstoppable and the acceleration and stability in slippery conditions you get when cranking up the aggressiveness of the controller is surreal. I don't think I've ever experienced such joy as when you press the accelerator and feel as the car plants down and just finds grip that shouldn't be there. It's magnificent.

Have yet to find a decent place in although if you were doing one big order I'd probably head up to Scott Subaru in Red Deer since their parts desk is excellent.

Two more dashcam vids I forgot to post earlier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiDRUJAZMpI Conditions were slippery coming into the mountains, saw a few drivers in the ditch already, and this guy looked it he might be joining them. Managed to recover from sliding around. The perspective on the dashcam sorta downplays the action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxmAve-zb-g When in doubt, make your own turning lane I guess? And an update with the Veloster!   Lets see, where did we let off? Oh yeah, Current unresolved issues are that the Navigation is still non-functional. That means we haven't had a properly working nav unit since April of 2014. The floor mats that have lost the embroidered patch back in June 2014 and were promised by Murray Hyundai to be replaced, have not yet been replaced. And the Dashboard and Steering wheel that the service department has managed to damage, and then did an unsatisfactory repair on, is still an ongoing issue. Last contact with the dealer was back in Nov. 2014, at which point they told us they will be ordering a new dashboard and steering wheel to replace the damaged ones, as well as the proper floormats for the car, and yet another nav. unit to replace the still non-functional one in the car. (4th radio that has been in the car so far) We have been used to the really slow service at Murray so a month or two of wait time before repairs is not out of the ordinary for them. Last week, we finally decided to stop by the dealer to figure out what is happening with the work order, since we haven't heard anything back since early Nov/ late Oct. Well, we were in for a nice surprise. Turns out, their service manager has denied the order for the dashboard and steering wheel, as well as the floormats, and that the radio had not been ordered either because it was all part of the same invoice. This decision was made a few weeks after our visit in Nov. 2014. They have simply neglected to contact us about this. I really doubt they would have ever contacted us had we not stopped by the showroom last week. Furthermore, the stated reason for not replacing the dashboard is because the service department is unable to replace a dashboard without introducing new squeaks and rattles. The service writer also joked about ordering the center vents as a preemptive measure since they have already broken those vents twice while servicing the nav unit previously. The floormats are being denied because the embroidered patch (that fell off) is missing (That's kinda the reason why they need to be replaced, no?) After discussion with management, they won't budge with the replacement for the dash and steering wheel, having stated that they can try to repair it again, but if it's still unsatisfactory (which it probably will since matching the texture on the dashboard is going to be near impossible) that we will "just have to live with the damage" that they caused to our interior. During this visit, they also redid the invoice and now finally a new nav unit has been ordered, cue another month or two of waiting. Isn't one of the definitions of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? I have my doubts that another nav unit will resolve the recurring issues we've been having.

Thanks for the info about parts. I don't need much so just might suck up to my local dealer. I only live 45 minutes from my box in Montana, it's just a PITA as I rarely go across the line in winter Didn't you contact Hyundai Canada about that lemon? Pretty sure you have, but make sure you keep super-clear records of all your dealings/conversations with the dealer. It isn't a crazy idea to even record them.

slidebite posted:Didn't you contact Hyundai Canada about that lemon? Pretty sure you have, but make sure you keep super-clear records of all your dealings/conversations with the dealer. It isn't a crazy idea to even record them. Yeah, I made a (hopefully) very well worded 1000 word essay detailing the various issues we've experienced, as well as the level of service we have been receiving at Murray Hyundai. We also contacted them earlier in ownership (right after the starting issues) at which point they politely refused to buyback the Lemontm and it took them a little under 3 weeks to respond, so it looks like it might be a while before we hear back from them. In the mean time, we've also contact the CAMVAP asking them to look over our situation and hopefully advise us whether they feel like we would have a strong case if we do end up pushing for the buyback through arbitration. In any case, we have to allow the manufacturer to respond to our issues, and once we hear from them we'll see how to proceed. I've got to find time before school work gets really intense to go through all the old records and photos to get exact dates for issues and get a nice chronological timeline. The issue is the dealer has been kinda lovely for keeping detailed records and since they keep tacking things on the same invoices, the dates are all out of what for when things actually occur vs. what they print on some invoices. It's kind of ridiculous what this ownership experience has turned into. I think I'll have to record them since the service writer has a tendency to say a few things that would make you cringe. I've already overheard him dupe a few people into bogus service while in the waiting room/seating area, as well as some other peoples problems with warranty service since I've had to wait at that drat dealer so many times. They really do prey on the mechanically illiterate, I feel bad for some of the people's situations I've overheard. Anyway, since text isn't all to exciting, have a picture of the mountains!  And one dirty engine bay that's about to be washed.

If all goes well, we're in the process for dumping it. Started a claim with CAMVAP so the cogs are turning, our contact said it looks like we have a good case, so fingers crossed. And contacted the the GM at the dealer asking for the owners contact info. Magically now they have decided to approve the dashboard replacement.  So if the CAMVAP route proves fruitless they'll at least replace the most glaring thing they damaged, at which point we'll suffer through Hyundai ownership for another year or two until the loan isn't upside down and sell/trade it in for something not-Hyundai.

Nothing too exciting has happened with the Baja, but the Veloster is a treasure trove of fun times. A few days after we filed the CAMVAP claim, the dealer wanted to once again tinker with the car, we politely told them we're awaiting a reply form CAMVAP and that we would like to hear from them before we book any more service in. Well, turns out they ran to the manufacturer and stated that we refused to have the issue repaired. The manufacturer replied back to CANVAP stating such and refuses to participate in arbitration based on that. GOOD JOB GUYS! Apparently almost a years worth of diagnostics and throwing radio's at the problem isn't enough for them. So alright, I'll let them try yet another fix, and I'm reopening another CAMVAP claim the second they are unable to repair the issue. Trying to get in contact with the service department is near impossible too, keep getting voicemail boxes so left a message wit h the receptionist for them to give me a call back today. (It has usually taken them ~3 days to reply if I leave a voicemail, I want to get this circus show over with sooner rather than later) And since text is pretty boring to read sometimes, here's some pretty pictures for you guys/girls to enjoy!
