Heh, reminds me of the CD player in the glovebox of my GTI.

Later MkVII Golfs lost the CD player, something that my buddy who bought an '18 wagon was not too happy about.  ;D

Thanks all.

Lethbridge Costco is so much more of a relaxed place than the ones in Calgary overall. And actually good parking lot. Small city living has some benefits.

The only small-town benefits are if the town in question doesn't have a Costco  :rofl2:

I hate that place.  Refuse to shop there.  Costco brings out the absolute worst in people.

evetime I go to Costco it's pretty chill.. what are you doing at costco.

A-Dent why are you at Costco with a Miata, nothing you can buy fits in the car.. ;D

We got a decent amount in the trunk oddly. Probably won't make a habit of it.

Those cupholders are almost as bad as the ones in my SLK, right above the radio & CD insert  :rofl:

The one on the passenger side can be pulled out and moved to the right of the gearbox shifter. Takes away a bit of passenger leg room in the config.

Those SLK ones mean you could keep beverages cold/hot with the AC/heating system.  8)

Wow! Congrats! These things really turn my head whenever I spot one. Just a few weeks back there were two of them and a ultra rare solstice GXP coupe heading to Kelowna. Such a cool little car, enjoy!

Oh man, my moms old Legacy had a cupholder as flimsy and sketch as that...hung over the HVAC controls and radio as well.

I think someone nearby me bought one of these in the same colour.  Not sure of interior colour.  I've seen it drive by my house several times the last couple of weeks.  Great looking car!

It is fairly deep and no spare.

Lovely! Well done.

I would really like to get one of these but suspect I don’t fit.  Sadly.

I am 6ft tall. Everyone fits a little different but I would not want to be any taller for roof up driving.

At 6'2", my NB is cramped.  Have to wear shoes with no heel at all or my knee hits the armrest.    Top of the windshield lines up with traffic lights.

Took the wife out for a drive on the weekend. We had the top down for a bit but it kept raining on and off. I am not sure she is a highway top down person regardless.



Got some pizza and ice-cream in Waterton and went for a nice walk. Lots of a deer to be seen.




Saw a herd of 200 or so elk. No photos since they were across the field and the cell phone does not zoom so the photos are seriously underwhelming.



Near Waterton, Alberta looking for the herd of a buffalo but they are notoriously shy.



Went by Waterton Reservoir on the way back for ...



a little light off-roading. Mrs. Dent was somehow not impressed with this.

Thanks.

Oh and I think I got my first speeding ticket it in.

Police were sitting outside town with their photo radar. In the overly long area where it has turned to highway already but the speed limit is still residential for revenue generation reasons I guess.   >:( >:( >:( Sigh.  :)

That's such a beautiful part of the country.  You fellers in Alberta have such an amazing province for outdoors stuff.
