I think they left after the GMG Union strike.

Torontonian here - in my experience, these aren't hard to spot (as a big grey box), there's signage warning you it's coming, and speed limit signs aren't a huge issue (although I'll concede some get placed along roads that need a redesign to reflect their speed limit). They do rotate them around once or twice a year…

Yeah, still creepy.

Mazda2 - in the time since buying it, I think I’ve completely bypassed middle-aged and went straight to being an old, but it’s too noisy and frantic. I have to do at least 3500rpm all the time - it cruises about there on the highway anyhow, and as there’s virtually no power below that (not that there’s much power…

Not one suggestion of a Volvo, if just because Sweden gets actual winters? Get one with AWD, those Finnish tires I can't spell, and enjoy the comfortable heated seats and whatever soothing public radio station you prefer until there's daylight at dinner time again.

Compared to a lot of these submissions, it’s a minor nuisance, but I’ll avoid driving the 400 north of Toronto as much as humanly possible - it’s just a little too hilly, well-used, and a vital transport corridor to northern Ontario, so that it’s particularly bad for having to constantly speed up and slow down as…

Contagion is the movie I wanted World War Z to be, albeit with fewer zombies.

Apparently? It was good enough for a Canadian Heritage minute - my knowledge of our history is pretty much this, the Halifax explosion, burnt toast, and Joseph Armand Bombardier.

Go one step further to the real roots, bring in Keanu Reeves as EffBeeEye! Agent Johnny Utah.

I mean, maybe not the exact one from Titanic, given the whole “now sitting at the bottom of the ocean” thing. Still, roomy, nicely appointed, classy, and might work on a partner of a certain age.

I think the most impressive takeaway from this is that 1960's London could support two Rolls-Royce dealers 300m apart from each other.

I think the absolute commitment to the HST bit in the Cayman review got me hooked.

Still no Apple car 39 years later though.

Only the good die from CancerAIDS.

I had a Cavalier and worked at a GM dealer while the Cobalts were new, they really were genuinely quite a bit better (at least more solid and substantial, interiors stepped up from cheap and looking like something my kid formed from PlayDoh to something that looks like a normal, austere interior and was at least…

Hang on now, Cobalt used the Ecotec from the start (GM even put it in the Cavalier for the last few years of production).

Ooh yeah - there was a FWD/6-speed option, but you also had to give up IRS for a solid rear axle. Mind you, I tried one (at a Mini event even, where they were trying to show how much more fun their cars were than the competiton), and the Juke was still a pretty neat little thing, even with the CVT, at least for a 30…

Yeah, but the other guy hasn’t offed himself in a bunker just yet. Or didn’t go into hiding in South America. Whatever. Either works if he’d just stop making us acknowledge him.

I’ve had better luck with the HOV lanes, but I’m really only using them on weekends (mostly up and down the 404, I have family up in York Region and hate the 400) - at least in relatively mild traffic, it’s mostly just people who want to cruise at a steady speed until it ends.

I’m sure it’s a problem that exists elsewhere, but the habit of predominantly ending the right lane rather than the left lane trains drivers to scurry left as quickly as possible, rather than pay attention to their surroundings. Although, I often find the smoothest way across the 401 is to just stick with the left…
