That’s my missus theory too but she doesn’t pay off her card so anything she buys actually costs more than the actual price drives me crazy

Ha, yeah, that's missing the most crucial step. Paying any interest eats up the kickback pretty much immediately. I haven't had a monthly balance in over 20 years or a car note since 2016 (I leased for 13 months then paid it off because it worked out to be $1k cheaper than paying cash due to kickbacks on a lease that weren't available on a purchase).

I’m 60 years old and when I bought my pw it was 101k cad by the time all the interest and expenses were added in. In 2015 a 1300 a month was doable. But then Justin was elected and the Alberta economy hit the toilet.

Funny how the op was about a coin holder. My truck didn’t have one. Wouldn’t matter anyway when I lived in the city I learned to never leave anything in my truck that was worth stealing.

Funny thing with my Coin holder ..
When i close the Right arm rest, it spits out a coin, unless i gently close the lid

The right side is the passenger seat, typically for the wife or girlfriend. Your coin holder sounds like it’s well trained! LOL

Easy there dude.

I'm confident that Jim was only trying to be funny, there's no reason to make this personal.

Personal attacks are against the terms of service at this site, the same as many others.

I took mine out, in the center armrest in my 2014 sport, it just lifted out I am sure.

unfortunately for me, mine is molded in and i'm not going to cut it out.

is what it is....i'll just deal with it

No thank you.....we already have two loonies runnng for president......and a bunch more in congress.....they grow like weeds down here!

I have made up my mind that I will get one vote for president, possibly two if I can convince my wife to vote for me. Not counting on that.

I just upgraded my '99 F-150 to a '19 Ram 2500.So far I love this truck. Wish it had a couple of things it doesn't, and wish it didn't have a couple of things it does - but that's the tradeoff when buying used. In playing it and learning it, I found one I just can't figure out. The coin holder has 5 slots, and all of them are different sizes. I have figured out that from right to left is dimes, pennies, nickels and quarters. Why they would put a penny holder in there is beyond me, but that's an engineer for you. But what about the far left one? It is too big for quarters. What the heck is it for? Even if 50-cent pieces were still in normal circulation like they used to be, it is too small for them.

It may be for Canadian loonies or toonies which are $1 and $2 coins or it could be for the US Susan B Anthony $1 coins or 50 cent pieces.

No offense intended but if you had read even the last 2 pages of this thread, you will see that the coin slot mystery has been solved and repeated many times already.

I feel short changed now because my '21 Warlock only has 3 slots.

Funny thing, my truck has the the slot holder in the armrest and the five slot holder is built into the drawer under the radio/brake controller...

Bet the USA brothers wish they had pretty money like ours lol

Honestly? US currency is dumb. The bills are all the same color and size, unlike pretty much everyone else where it's super easy to tell a denomination by either. We have to look at the numbers and dead guy on it, so you're thumbing through your wallet to see where the $20's turn into $10s turn into $5s, etc. Even blind people can recognize their currency by feeling the size of it with most currencies, in the US they have to have someone they trust fold it a special way and trust the shopkeeper to be honest. The coins are a random distribution as far as size to value, a legacy of when actual silver/gold coins were in circulation but meaningless now.

If I were king for a day, I'd stop minting pennies, dimes, $2s, $10s, and $50s. Coins would be nickels and quarters only. Bills would be $1, $5, $20, $100 only.

But it's buying power can't be argued with and most of it exists as electrons anyway.
