I say this with the utmost respect to both of you, but it was not until:

Another long day in the CX-3, arriving as fresh as a daisy just in time to catch the Jays game, before our dinner and winner’s gala. While there was no trophy for the Yarkonys this year, we cracked the top five and had a chance to see a side of BC we’ve never seen before.

...that I realized this article was not written by the most-excellent Brendan McAleer.  It was THAT good of an article, Jonathan, right down to the great comedy of:

I’m not saying we lost points because I was too busy playing with the loader controls making machinery noises, but, well, sometimes you have to grab life by the defunct industrial equipment’s controls.

Very, very well done, Sir!

I just hope this wasn't your doing (I checked the licence plates - it wasn't your ride...but what happened?!):


...that's going to be one helluva repair bill with the number of parts that need to be replaced.

Bear spray wouldn't have helped there...  Ouch.

I've seen a ton of CX-3's around and let me tell you....they are SMALL.  I have yet to see an article that placed one of these next to a CX-5.  The difference is stunning. 

There was one parked next to a Hyundai Accent hatchback near my work.  I swear, add a few inches to the Accent's height and it would actually look bigger than this thing.

It would seem that the bear needed human spray this time. Great article though...
