I spent over an hour winding through side streets to avoid fully stopped traffic to get to a bridge I needed to cross, only to find that the bridge had been closed for half an hour because of an accident. I was driving for work, and had to eventually get across. I went to a coffee shop and sat for about an hour until…

When I was a kid I thought all SUVs were Jeeps. I have a Dodge Raider, and it’s not uncommon for it to get called a Jeep. Not by people thinking that it’s a really a Jeep brand vehicle, but thinking that any relatively small 4x4 is a “Jeep”

I despise the marketing with the name coupe, but I do quite like how it looks. Maybe I’ve just been beaten into submission by how ugly modern cars generally are, and all it takes for me to think it looks good now it’s a normal sized grille and a lack of random creases, lines, and vents. 

I can’t believe I’m saying this about a new car, but that looks amazing. It’s restrained, the design makes sense, and it doesn’t have a gaping maw of a grille. My only real complaint is how cheap and cheesy the grille badge looks.

Sure they do. Not, like, constantly, but they’ll fail the same way other components fail. Turbos more than SCs, as far as I know. They don’t necessarily make an engine markedly less reliable, but they definitely don’t make it more reliable.

Yeah....I’m just trying not to think about how heinously unreliable they’ll probably be

Man I can’t wait to buy one of these used in several years

That’s because it’s a Subaru engine. Subaru is very good at getting poor fuel economy out of small engines

So they’re killing Google Play Music and this is what they’re replacing it with? Seriously disappointing. I switched from Spotify to Play Music because it started up faster, ran faster, and hung less, all with broadly similar content and quality.

Good thing I’m walking around and lifting things all day I guess, I’ll just hope that the activity makes up for the less than stellar air quality and hardly seeing the sun during the week.

VPD don’t give a shit about traffic or speed either, I’ve been tailgated for going the speed limit on Hastings by the VPD, and then on the other hand, Port Moody PD likes to pull you over for going a hair over the limit, or for driving near a bar on a thursday.

It’s a Chinese company, but it’s going to be made in Italy. Wat.

The ‘B’ in BMW stands for ‘Brand Dilution’

This is just the AMC Eagle of the future

It sure is, and getting worse every day.

Here the last provincial government decided to have a referendum to see if people wanted a small tax in exchange for massive transit improvements, and some road and bridge improvements. Everyone voted no, so now we’re getting small improvements, and massive density and population growth. It’s gonna be interesting in a…

I agree, and Vancouver likely does need a lot of density increase that’s happening, but increased density means nothing with unchanged infrastructure, and an emphasis on profit for the developers instead of creating housing that people are actually looking for.

I’ve never seen that, but it looks like it was filmed in Vancouver, so it very well could be the house

I didn’t know that, hopefully it doesn’t get as crazy. Having property values this high sucks for a lot of people
