I think that the Fire Boss is a lot more badass than people give it credit for. For one, it looks like it’s just another small aircraft, yet it’s powered by a PT-6 turbine more commonly used in much larger aircraft. That’s like a Miata with a Chevy LS V8.

Lordco don’t seem to have any stores outside of B.C., and I really missed them when I lived in Calgary. These dudes went there, too, in Oliver (Oliver!):

Exactly. That’s why in the lede photo, there’s a San Bernadino Police* motorcycle in the background.

How have I never seen this before?

I would’ve expected it in a Ford Escape.

Not exactly. Canada has its own laws regarding motor vehicles, though they do in large part mirror those in the U.S.

TIL: The PAssat G60 Syncro wasn’t sold in the U.S., and only 250 were sold here in Canada. I worked at a VW dealer in the early ‘90s, and I remember getting a few of these in from time to time. One was even a wagon.

The sad part is that the particular model you posted does indeed have functional Ram Air, but is fed by the nostrils between the headlights. The hood snorkus is non-functional.

It’s always drivers of Civic sedans that have the most trouble parallel parking.

I know that IMCDB lists that S-15 as a 1982 model, but if the pilot aired in 1989, it’s more likely an ‘88 or ‘89 model. They’re identical to the ‘82.

Nice fake B.C. plate, there.

Just a show of solidarity.
