Of course, our mayor is multifaceted. He turned around and pushed HARD for the Olympics, which would have cost the city (and province, and country) billions, because the biggest shares of those billions would have been spent by the province and feds, not the city. He is smart, but can be a real asshole. He can stand…

One thing to remember-that 370Z is WAY smaller than the Mustang. This is a double edged sword in a lot of ways, of course, but it is 20" shorter and 200 lbs lighter. The Z is essentially FRS dimensions...with a way, way bigger and more powerful engine and an extra 600 lbs.

I dunno, I always liked Maggie’s Z-almost as much I liked her writing.

This is why I’m glad Canada uses Kijiji, this functionality is built in

The 11foot8 bridge has finally gone too far. 

I suspect this a regional assumption. In my neck of the woods, trucks are go-to long haul vehicles (often because the destination is not paved). 

it’s not hard to imagine this new material going one step further and helping keep houses warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, vastly improving energy efficiency and, in turn, reducing monthly bills.

Not a terrible choice. Doesn’t have the really expensive stuff from a type R or an XJ, some component sharing with Lincoln LSs.

Not strictly true. My XJR came with the factory open diff, and the only drop in LSD is helical (Quaife). Definitely helps from a stop on icey conditions-which I see frequently in Calgary. Haven’t been stuck since I had it installed.  

I am conflicted with that. On one hand, a 47k Silverado is a huge profit for the manufacturer; on the other hand, a 47k Silverado will depreciate more slowly and be easier and cheaper to repair and maintain than any 47k luxury car.

Reasonable arguments! But there are some reasons I can think of:

That’s...the author’s point? Atlanta, for example, gets zero funding from the state, unlike every other mass transit authority in the country. This lack of investment means cars are and have been a near necessity for travelling greater Atlanta, AND it means there has been very little incentive to build up density in…

I mean, you can sell a Nissan Micra with all of that for 12k Canadian brand new (seriously, 2019MY listed on autotrader). Maybe not the backup camera? Expectations for luxury and demand for vehicle size and especially height set a lot of these prices; I think there is a not insignificant cultural component in the…

A bit of googling reveals a fast charger at the Ramada in Brooks; Lethbridge, and more have them too. Moosejaw and Shaunavan too. And there’s a corridor of them between the major cities.

I love the Golf R idea, but the writer should keep in mind that almost any other vehicle will have a centre rear seat. This may allow the kid way more room (because they are between the front seats). The main disadvantage is that they can still kick your seat. Honestly though, almost anything with AWD is so much…

You haven’t tried to fit a carseat in the back of a Mini coupe, I take it. 

Honda Fits are front wheel drive only, unfortunately. 

And why is it a bicycle?

A modern pipeline has those, sure. If they have been around for 40 years, they’ll have pressure transmitters, remote operated valves, and receipt meters that may not even be live recording.

Fun, pretty, middle range price, good AC?
