Dodge Challenger hit a utility pole at Regent St, struck a parked car and then caught on fire. 20yo facing charges of Careless Driving and Fail to Remain on Scene.

I think this is the 3rd dead Challenger I've posted here in the last year or so. Seems to be a pattern

A couple days ago a Volvo V60 (circa 2015)was stopped in front of our house with a public security officer car with lights flashing.. Then the firetruck pulled up and and they were investigating a possible under hood fire. Then yesterday I was driving and saw a commotion on the other side of divided boulevard. Cops and firetruck around a Volvo V70 wagon with hood open.

So 3 days and 2 Volvo engine fires.

Things that make you go Hummmmmmmmmmmm

On the upside... the black V60 wagon that was in front of my house was a real beauty to look at. I have never really taken notice how nice they were before this. You could say "It was Smokinnnnnnn"

My car is the obvious choice in Europe, the 308 is quite popular.

I decided to add to the colours of France......3 308s in a row

Probably only interesting to me because my Mother owned one for a few years... A Taurus wagon like the one below and still looking like it was in pretty good shape. Can't remember the last time I've seen one of that vintage on the road.

The weekend before New Year's a white Taurus sedan of that vintage was behind me on the way to Merrickville. Looked to be in very good condition.

When we first came to Canada my dad almost bought one of these bad boys....3.8 V6 and third row seat....ssseeeeeexy.

My dad had a 1994 with the 3.8 but no third row unfortunately.

Mom's had the 3.8L too, but no third row

My dad had one in that colour. He really liked it. And used it to tow an 18' boat with a 5.7L V8. Crazy times.

I had a Taurus wagon as a company car back in the late 90s. Don't remember what year the car was, but it was the last edition of the wagon. Great winter car! Never got stuck in that thing. It had the most powerful hvac system of any car that I've ever driven.

This was a while back, but here is an FB RX-7 I saw.

I looked inside and saw there is even a manual choke knob! Must be a very early year.

That’s a series 2, so the oldest it can be is ‘81. The first series have much smaller taillights, among other details.

Saw this on the walk into work.

If you hit a road sign, you're going to have a bad day.

Gurgie · « **Reply #12535 on:** January 16, 2019, 09:57:11 am »

^ouch!!! Looks like it was there overnight based on the light dusting of snow we got.

tortoise · « **Reply #12536 on:** January 16, 2019, 10:06:23 am »

Agreed. Someone drove into work this morning without half of their bumper.

Ottawa has the most incompetent drivers in the WORLD, this guys head was swirling around like a bobble toy, but he would only check the inside of his car. I think that we all should chip in and buy him some Valium so that he can settle down and drive. I wanted to punch him in the head for being an idiot, but I hear that its' illegal in Ottawa ;-)
