^^ Had many presentations during TAC conferences about that roundabout, and when our annual conference was in Frederiction many years ago I drove these roads in my rental Flex. Can't figure out what the trucker did here, this ain't a high speed highway ?!?

The speed limit is 90 as you approach the roundabout but it's very well signed. Dude must have been asleep at the wheel, either figuratively or literally.

Which direction was the truck coming from?   Doesn't look to make  be making much sense where he ended up.

A lot of heavy truck accidents happen this way - way too many.

I'm surprised we haven't mandated drowsiness detection technology for big rigs.

There has been some pretty sobering 'trucker falling asleep at the wheel' videos over the years

I think he came from the right of the pic.

I saw a new Mclaren (no idea what it was until we could read the rear deck)  on the highway with custom Sask plates. This must have been Mr Bridge City.

You know it.  Traded in the Tundra, got an offer I couldn't refuse

Lucid Air, downtown Montreal. Came accross as I was sitting at a red light - profile is probably the best angle to view this thing. Makes a Model S look like a Checker Marathon.

A "Day 2" Mustang II hatchback, painted up like a Shelby with totally wrong-script "Cobra" lettering. Healthy V8 sounds, totally unhealthy exhaust fumes as I sat behind it at a light 

Spotted two new Accords at this point. Previous gen was a stunner, this is so generic it could be painted yellow and labelled "sedan".

Spotted a Panamera wagon with Arizona plates around the corner from my place. Quite the road trip.

If you're gonna do a trip like that, that's the car to do it in...

My TR6 still has its AZ plates - but it rode in on a truck

Shouldn't it have Quebec plates by now?

Oh it has the QC plate on it, but the AZ plate made the trip and is now garage art!

Ah, but is it driving on Quebec roads legally yet?

Its Quebec, just slip your local cosa nostra representative a crisp $100 bill and he will make your problems go away. Legal...pfffft.

Spotted my first Integra in the wild yesterday (at Costco  ) - from the back, it actually looks classier than the Civic, but I must say that the Civic itself appears to have nosedived sales-wise. I see some sedans but have yet to witness the new hatch.

Also seen my first 400Z. In yellow. In the used car row at a Ford dealer I drove by. That car has turned expectations into a sad trombone it seems.

Saw my first CX-90 in the flesh today...in that nice purple/red color that's in all the press photos.  Looked pretty sharp.

It's actually just called the "Z".

I don't think the Z is bad. People just had the wrong expectations for it. It's not a numbers car it's a grand tourer.
