I’ve been going to Montreal these past 20 years (as a race marshal) and the organizers haven’t dropped a dime on the “permanent” facilities in all that time so I’ll save my breath to cool my poutine if its all the same. Agree FE cars (which are quick but slow) would be brutal to watch around CVG. On the other hand…

Well, they do love their boat racing up there.

The Alouettes (7 Grey Cups) and Canadiens (24 Stanley Cups) disagree with you.

That is the sort of thing that come sup when you’re running for president in ten years.

Thank you Alanis for using the word ‘Parade’ as often as possible.

There’s a FB group for buses in HK that noted that the buses were more often than not sitting in the terminus and not being used. Though I’m not sure what the exact issue.

You didn’t say that:

The BYD buses are rather shitty. KMB in Hong Kong have been trialing the BYD buses because BYD wants their next batch of orders instead of it going to Dennis or Trident or whatever flavor of the decade is for buses. The trial buses are in the shop being repaired more often than they are on the road.

City of Montreal has started rolling out EV buses, and is aiming to exclusively buy EV buses buy 2025

I do know this, and it disappointed me. This car should have been able to do 200 km/h. But then again, I wouldn’t be here today if it was able to.

Well then that means it’s a good answer to the question in the original post, no? The crazy thing is how good the wagon still looks— I do take really good care of it, it’s not a beater by any means.

Company car; 2002 Chrysler Intrepid. As a sales rep who would take short cuts, the poor boat was offroaded on more than one occasion. Yes, they can get air if pushed hard enough on a back road. Glad the lease was up at 60,000 mi., there wasn’t really much left after that.

Used a rosebud torch to melt the ice off an 82 Scirocco, set the hatch handle on fire just a bit.

I’d go into detail about how terribly I abuse my vehicles in the name of fun and adventure, but that’s kind of what sports cars and jeeps are for, and while it may be abuse it may not be misuse. I’ve been incredibly hard on a Hyundai Accent and a Volvo 850T doing winter duties, but it all pales in comparison to my…

I moved an entire house worth of stuff across town in my BMW wagon. It took like 20 trips but I managed it. Why didn’t I rent a U-Haul? Because those suck to drive and I was horribly unprepared for moving, having literally nothing packed up the day of the move. Thankfully almost all of my furniture is from IKEA so it…

I drove a Crown Vic without being high on meth.

Come on man, can’t we keep this conversation on track?

Oooof. I missed that opportunity like the mayor missed the train.
