Black Charger Hellcat picking up pizza in Guelph.  Delivery would have been cheaper :P

Gave thumbs up, got a burnout in return. Simply awesome.

^ something you don't see often.

I've seen a few trucks trailing lots of clutch smoke, but that's about it.

Yeah, passed lots of semis pouring out all kinds of blue and white smoke...this was a first for me outside of cars I've seen go boom at the dragstrip.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he wakes you up at 5 in the morning.

Not my cup'o'tea, but I've seen a lot of far less tasteful Mustang mods.   

 It must be a vinyl wrap.   Now why am I thinking, if Justin Trudeau were a car...what vinyl wrap would he be today....?

Based on the trip he took with the family this past week I would hazard a wrap similar to this.

Was surprised to spot this today:



A 2011 Saab 9-4X. Only 814 built, and supposedly only 267 were sold in the U.S. and none in Canada. Basically a Saab-ified Cadillac SRX. Odd that there's one registered in New Brunswick.

So the guy with the Mustang has a cousin in Montreal, driving a camoe'd ... WRX or STi, current model  :think: This time the wrap is in the light-grey / olive / dark grey pattern.

Showing much better taste, a commuter was following me with a black Audi e-tron  ;D So 1% of this model's yearly Canadian sales right there on the bridge.

Not on the way to work, but after playing basketball tonight. One of the guys just got this over the winter after selling his McLaren 720.
He's going to England to pick up his new toy, 650S.
I sat in the front seat for a minute and the seat was awesome. The seat bolster was so tight that I wasn't very comfortable.
