Has anyone used Canada Powersports Financing for an ATV?

Hey everyone, I'm looking at picking up a new ATV for hunting season and checking out some loan options online. Has anyone worked with Canada Powersports Financing before? Their rates look decent but I want to make sure they're legit and easy to deal with before I hand over my personal info.

Appreciation post: My coffee habit was costing me more than my car payment

I was looking at my bank app last month and saw I spent $237 at the cafe down the street from my apartment. That's more than I pay for my Honda Civic every month. I started making my own cold brew at home and now I'm putting that extra cash straight into my savings. Anyone else have a small daily spend that added up to a crazy number?

My book club buddy told me to skip the last 50 pages of 'The Goldfinch' and I'm glad I didn't listen.

Sarah in my group said the ending was a total letdown and the book peaked halfway through. She insisted I'd be happier just imagining my own conclusion. I read the whole thing anyway, and while the final section in Amsterdam was a bit of a slog, that last paragraph about the painting actually tied everything together for me in a way I would have missed. It made me think about how we assign value to things. Has anyone else had a friend try to talk them out of finishing a book? Did you go through with it?

Just lost a whole afternoon's pay because I didn't double-check the subfloor for moisture in a basement job.

The homeowner swore it was dry, but my moisture meter read 22% after I'd already laid the pad, so I had to pull everything up and delay the install by a full day, costing me about $300.

The most insane before-and-after I've ever seen on a car floor

A guy brought in a 2008 Civic last month that smelled like a swamp, said his kid spilled a whole gallon of milk in the back six months ago. We pulled up the carpet and the factory sound deadening was just a solid, fuzzy, green mat of mold. After we ripped it all out, cleaned it with a steamer and some heavy duty cleaner, and let it dry for two days, it was like a different car. Has anyone else had to deal with a biohazard-level spill that just sat for way too long?
