We usually go at least a couple times a summer too. Haven't been to the Rossmount yet but have only heard excellent things so it's on our to-do list.

Let me know what you think when you do go.  Minister's Island is a cool place to visit as well, but access is tide dependent.

Yeah, we've been to Minister's Island twice. It's a neat place for sure.

Two mornings in a row I see a guy commuting in an ealry 2nd-gen Camaro, the one with twin bumperettes and the "wide Vega face", proper metallic gold dry mustard, clean car, colour-keyed Chevy rally wheels, stock-looking. Nice, and oh-so-'70s!

Nice!
Reminds me...I frequently see a bright yellow with orange Z28 striping 80/81 Camaro northbound on Yonge st at Lawrence (midtown Toronto for those not in the the CTU) during the morning rush. Looks like a solid original car, but rough around in the edges with some mismatched yellow paint repairs. See it all year around, with big nasty snow tires on the back in the winter. The couple in it (I presume husband and wife) look like they lived hard in the 70's and 80's, and fell just as hard thereafter.

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Car and Driver says the back seat is huge and that it has twice the cargo space of a Macan.

Agreed, but a weak sauce engine.  Can't wait for the true R.
