Sitting at a light, waiting to turn left, appears to be a motorcyclist 2 cars in front of me,

light turns green, buddy guy proceeds to turn left and it's a guy on an e-bike, so I figured he MUST have studded tires.......nope,he's slip sliding away and almost finishes the turn when he gives it some juice and back end kicks out from under him and spins around and he wipes out (unhurt) facing oncoming traffic, we easily drive around him, but this caught the attention of a cop sitting at a light

was gonna take a photo but no time, happend all too quickly

And if the cop saw you with phone in hand, you'd be the one charged with attempted murder instead of the idiot on the bike being charged with...attempted suicide? Probably ignore that guy then altogether.

The access door on this X5 caught my eye. Rare sight around here, especially one hauling ATV/Snowmobiles.

That'll buff right out.

That sucks though, it's gotta be really new.

On the way home this morning about 10km from home I come across a Smart car, I think electric, not sure, it was limping along slowly with hazards on. I passed him and drove home.
About 20 minutes later I hear the unmistakable sound of a vehicle riding on a flat tire going by.

Sure enough, there goes the Smartcar.

I thought Smart Cars had run flats. I guess not?

Mint 1988 Plymouth Voyager LE. I did a walk around and there wasn't a mark on it. Interior looked new.

^^Wow. I haven't seen a Plymouth Voyager of that generation in ages.

Saw this last week in Ottawa...Nissan of some sorts?

Last weekend I spotted a late ‘80s Toronado and a late ‘80s Electra.

Nissan would be my guess.

Remember when those vans were everywhere, and kept their values insanely well?

We had an '85 and when it finally died in 1997, even six year old Chrysler vans were going for $15k+.

I remember my folks had a white AWD Caravan, but slightly newer than that one...likely the first refresh. We thought it was pretty fantastic at the time.
