BW that is truly ugly....looks like they had some crap leftover they didn't know what to do with and decided to make some townhouses  :hurl:

Might not be that interesting or exciting, saw a Hyundai Elantra coupe this morning. I've never seen one before and had no idea that they even existed.
You need to get out of the bush more, if you never seen a coupe before

Really....they popular out there in Ontario?? An Elantra coupe is quite the rarity round these parts.

I think I only saw one once in the greater Montreal. 1st gen KIA Forte coupes were a big hit though.

Those Kia Forte coupes are way more popular around here as well.

Driving around at lunch the other day (I was otherwise at work, so does it count?), drove through one of the newer developments, saw this.  W.T.F.  :think: Is this something new?  Or did the builder just happen to have a bunch of leftovers from other jobs? Frickin' ugly is what it is. It's a multi-family building.


There's a few houses that have come up in recent years where you wonder if they were smoking something when they designed it.  Just horrible stuff.

That is truly wretched.

 :rofl2:  That's one of the worst examples I've ever seen!  It looks like it was just thrown together with leftover parts.  The shed looking thing sticking out of the upper floor is really weird!

Saw a Wrangler Unlimited with what looked like the Mopar pick-up conversion kit. Looks natural, but a lot practical. Carries air as well as most trucks though.

An AEV conversion, perhaps?

Nah...town's too small for that.  Where one of my VPs lives, there's a million dollar home at the end of the bay, a couple of "normal" homes, someone moved in an old bungalow across the street, and some lady built a home that's so small as to look out of place amongst the rest (it is cute though). No planning commission. This aint Jolly Olde England (or TO, or Edmonton...or anywhere really). Apparently do as you please if it grows the population, I guess.

Pretty sure this one's still just over 4,000.  Hasn't grown much in the last 30+ years.  The 45 Syrian refugees raised the population by 1%  ;D

That doesn't sound like something a planning commission would change, really.

On the way home from work yesterday I saw a  black Mercedes McLaren SLR.  Definitely did a double take, I've never seen one in person before.
