And yeah, Vancouver peeps have it "tough". If they whine about the rain, I have an ocean to throw them into.

Tesla Mode 3s are almost as common as new Camrys here. That is all.

Got first snow here over the weekend. Didn't stick around long but it's definitely time to swap the snow tires onto the Golf...

My neighbor was showing off his Tesla app. I forgot the 3 came out so I'm thinking damn how'd you afford a Model S. He had a 1 series before.

Wow funny how insurance companies in different states operate. It took my 70+ year old mom weeks to get her insurance check while in Tennessee my buddy is getting it within hours of agreeing to the price. Mind you in both scenarios there are liens.

But honestly Model 3 ain't that cheap if you look at how most of them are specced...options and extras can easily cause it to rise 50k+......i don't know how many people are actually driving around in 35k, base model 3s......

That quiz was really hard, for once. The one I got right was the Paseo.
First one I thought was a 993
6 I knew was an Oldsmobile, wasn't sure which one.
10 I was sure was a Ford Ka, only to realize I mixed up the tail light and headlight shape.

The quiz is kind of bullshit, as half of those cars aren’t even on this continent. I can’t say I have an intricate knowledge of Alfa’s and Tatas and Nissan Paos, etc.

If any of you guessed even one of those cars correctly (make and model)
You need to reflect on your life choices and the path you have taken to get to this point

It was 38F this morning, I didn't wear a jacket.
Also, might be making a trip to Hawaii this winter (for your 70F weather
) so I'll likely have some questions for you. 
This. The one that was the Tata Nano I thought was a Kia Soul.
