Just got back from a road trip today
I drove from Ottawa to Toronto yesterday to go to my friend's bachelor party and got back today.
Half-way there I got another friend to hop in, and with my previous cars I would have let him drive, but with the TSX it's always a pleasure to drive, even for hours at a time.
Just love the feeling of holding that 3-spoke steering wheels, it's awesome. The only trick I need to use is to keep the speed above 130 km/h or else I'm just not paying attention. Having to look out for cops just gives that extra edge.
By the way at night we went to this place called Whiskey a Go Go, I'm sure a few Toronto folks have heard of it. I saw a silver TSX parked in front of it, wasn't mine though
On the way back on highway 401 I saw driving in the opposite direction, get it... a freakin' rocket! Yep, there was a big pick up truck with a trailer, and on the trailer was a rocket the size of a bus, pointing upwards at a 20 deg angle, it said "Canadian Space Agency" on it. There's something you don't see every day.
Another sighting, on the 416 going towards Ottawa, I was approaching these two vehicles in the distance, they were going in the same direction. In the fast lane I recognized a Cadillac SRX, and the car it was passing I didn't recognize. It looked the same size and height as the SRX so I thought it was an SUV at first, my first guess was Infinity FX but the lights didn't look right... As I got closer I went "waaa???" It was a Rolls Royce, in black. I don't think it was the Phantom, but it was a new one, it had HID fog lights and the main lights had covers on them. I can't believe how huge that car is, it's like an SUV but shaped like a car. Absolutely massive. So I took a quick glance and sped up and made him bite my dust.

Made a trip to Windsor this weekend for my friend's wedding.
My only sighting, aside from the trucks doing their 3 on 1 delivery thing (which in itself is awesome), was a helicopter on the back of a flat bed! Totally cool.
Also worth noting is the tremendous lack of TSX's in Windsor. I did not see any at all ... needless to say Chrysler 300's were everywhere!
