2nd row at a stoplight on the way to work.  In front of me, and side by side was a new white crew cab Ford F-150, next to a white Mazda B2000 diesel (!?!), also in white--albeit with a grimly layer of soot all over it.   The size differential, was actually laughable.   Light went green, and the Mazda belched out soot on all of us behind...

A new Pontiac G8 going by me at full-throttle - sweet sound! Unfortunately the young fella was going through a marked 30Km/h zone by a park doing well over 30 and with a green "N" graduated license sticker on the back.  I wouldn't have minded a turn or two with the taser had the cops pulled him over right there & then...

Silver Nissan GTR in Waterloo today, much better looking moving than standing still.  First one I've seen out and about.

As part of the grand opening of Manitoba Hydro's new downtown location, they had a restored Hydro truck on display: a 1952 GMC.

A Mercedes S class towing a heavy duty double axle trailer.  On the trailer was a John Deere tractor with a front end loader and a backhoe.     :o    Not sure if the S class driver was on drugs, but a 1 ton diesel pick up would have been under load with that behind the hitch...

He wasn't on drugs, he was on warranty. ;D

Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300 - similar to the picture.  The one I saw was emerald green.

Just wondering how many cars people see this holiday weekend with their lights off. I saw 3 last night in a 4 hour period. Including the same car twice, 2 hours apart. One of which was a Ferrari or Lambo. I guess money can't buy intelligence

On Hwy 6 in G  a blue Lotus Elan S4 with a hard top.   So tiny! and the hard top so high by modern standards.   Even compared to a Miata it is small and narrow.

 Back end was a bit low to the ground which may just have been a trunk full of stuff.

I saw the BMW 5-series GT on the road the other. Yes, it looks ugly, I mean.. awkward, in real life, too.
