Here in Ottawa, Civic Holiday is also known as "Colonel By Day", so I guess he might have something to do with it.

I think 360 Modenas look great in blue, a very underrated color for Ferraris. I'd dare say it's the car in the video I'd rather own.

An appropriate story to read on Civic Holiday in Ontario.

8 is Ferrari F430, 5 Classic Volkswagen Beetle, 6 Pontiac GTO (67?), 2 Volkswagen Golf (1990s?), 7 Volkswagen Scirocco?

The NASCAR Stocker Darrell Waltrip #11 Mountain Dew Buick Century was my favourite Hot Wheels car as a boy, since I've always been a sucker for cars with soft drink logos on them. I lost it when I moved to Ottawa in 2004 but bought a replacement online early this year.
