Serious question.. how do they make sure they keep the keys organized for something like this? I’d imagine that unless they are kept in the car the potential for misplacing, or difficulty matching a key to car would be high without some serious organization..
If you mirror the image, this could just as easily be Toronto.. Ugh..
The wife’s old 2001 base model Civic before she got herself a Matrix. With no balls, a slushbox, manual windows and a turbo boost button (well, not really - need to turn the AC off to make it up hills, but it feels like turbo boost in comparison).. that I ended up transferring to my name and pulling it off the market…
It’s the bane of my existence.. Alberta uses sand instead of salt and it works pretty well. It destroys windshields from pebbles getting kicked back, but cars stay relatively mint.. To me that’s a better trade-off
My 94 Fleetwood.. I kept that thing going as much as I could. Has oodles of character, and borderline sleeper with the LT1. I’m hanging on as long as I can, and much longer than I would with most other cars. But daily driving the thing in the harsh Canadian salt baths has taken it’s toll. Tipping point was a…
What a trip down memory lane.. my grandfather had one of these.. then he got a Citroen DS.. then eventually a Citroen CX.. love these old French luxo-barges, miss seeing them around since moving to Canada in ‘90.
I had two of these.. a 95 and a 2001.. I’ve had a Supra, an XJR, 96 Mustang GT.. The TAs are the only ones I wish i kept. Granted, the Supra would be worth a ton now, but it wasn’t a car I particularly loved. Was a little too clinical. I much prefer the rawness of the TAs
Trades are the best... I traded a Sunfire convertible for a 24ft sailboat once.. good freind traded a 2dr Grand Prix for a heavily modded A4.. he ended up having to make money back (and then some, several times over) parting out his car after some unsolveable electrical issues, but i enjoyed the hell outta my boat lol
I have a soft spot for these.. maybe misplaced though.. i learnt to drive on my folk’s 88 Caprice wagon.. ex undercover car, had a massaged 350, and was fun as hell to drive. Not exactly “stock” though. I bought my own 88 wagon years later, was slow as hell in comparison. Still love these boats though.. daily drive a…
Soo... “Why buy a heavily abused Ferrari when you can get a nice Camry instead?"
Here in Toronto, I see “Baby On Board” signs on vehicles that tend to cut me off, talk on their phone and generally represent the asshatery of the driving population.
Aaaand it’s all negated by the fact that your car that goes 0-60 in 2.5 is actually going the exact same speed as the rest of gridlock in most major cities.. Cool thought experiment though
Tavarish has succesfully corrupted me and I’m looking for a W221 S-class.. 2007 or 2008 as opposed to previous gen he has. I’m a DIY kinda guy, so I would want to work on it myself, offsetting higher part cost for minimal labour charges.. How bad of an idea is this vs buying the previous gen? It must be said I dont…
Mine is right there in its parking spot. Full foot longer than a Roadmaster at close to 19ft IIRC.. on its last legs, but looking for another one from the southern US that WON’T be a daily driver...
I feel your pain.. I bought a fairly 94 Fleetwood in fairly good shape four years ago.. LT1, rare metal roof (no vinyl car), I loved it..
Is “pep boys/canadian tire” a color? This guy lives in the suburbs of Toronto and I’ve seen him multiple times. Every time, despite thinking its not possible, there’s more.
None. Being in a car in traffic is still better than packed standing room only on a bus with broken ac in the summer for 90mins. Been there, never again.
Like a boss...
In Toronto I see enough Lambos, Porsches (especially Cayennes and 911s) and even Rolls / Bentleys, Karmas and i8s that almost everything is Meh.. I see a couple of Gs a week.. 60s muscle is a dime a dozen also on the summer months.
