65 Mustang this morning, pretty mint looking.

I think that one's a '67

You might be right... the notch-back always throws me off

The side marker lights are a dead giveaway - it's a '68.

No pics because I was driving, but at 6:40 this morning I got gently passed on the left by a grey McLaren 650 with private plates (company cars have "F-plates" in QC). Somehow the driver kept it below 130 km/h on his commute, and I caught it up to cross the Victoria bridge into town.

Drove by Walmart on the way home from work last night and there were about a dozen motor homes camped out in the parking lot.  I think I'd want to shoot myself after waking up there in the morning.   Waking up in the middle of a sea of cement and traffic.

I thought that was a service that Walmart provided in the USA anyway. A safe place to park and in some places power, toilets and black water disposal
for motor homes.   I guess the idea is to hope people will shop at Walmart for breakfast etc.

I noticed the same thing in Moncton yesterday (Plaza Blvd store).  Had to have been at least twenty....and everyone outside in lawn chairs, etc.

Yeah that sounds like a nightmare.

Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.  Ever get the feeling big brother is watching you?

For the Ottawa folks, saw the new light rail train being tested over by Ottawa U yesterday afternoon on my way to the rink.

Sweet! It’s odd it’s taken this long for Ottawa to get LRT, other than that tiny little diesel train route.

They had the country's best BRT, on dedicated roads no less. They're replacing the BRT routes with the LRT at a significant cost. Highly political, and very controversial project in Ottawa's traffic eng. community.

The BRT was supposed to be rail, but they went for the cheap quick fix short term option over the longterm savings of rail.  Rail equipment and infrastructure lasts much longer...

Less drivers as well, lots are getting packaged out come the fall.

Really? They should increase the feeder routes to handle the significant increase in passengers wanting to take transit as a result of LRT.

I parked near a Nissan Elgrand with NB plates at the grocery store today.  Figure it's maybe 2002 vintage, still looks kind of cool.

Yesterday I spotted a first gen Chrysler Intrepid.
