Yup: AWD isn't mandatory, but it is for my preferences.

Frau, can't believe you went all this time with a FWD CUV and didn't say anything while we bashed them left-right-and-centre

Sometimes it easier to just let children rant away

-30C this morning. This raised Ford F250 truck looks cold.

On the way home from work as I'm getting off the 401 I see something weird on the eastbound on-ramp, a truck hauling one of those huge windmill vanes appears to be getting off the 401 the wrong way and is backwards on the on-ramp. The ramp tees onto a 2 lane county road and isn't that wide at the end, so there is no way he would be able to get around the corner and onto the road. The police had the on-ramp blocked of course, but I don't know what they were trying.
A couple months ago one got stuck on a nearby roundabout.

Are they installing new ones in the area ?
Which ramp ?

County Rd 6, Odessa. I think they are installing them near Amherstview, or on Amherst Island.

Somebody was commuting with this thing early this morning, not quite 7 am, also red, but wearing seasonnal filth and snow tires (smaller wheels, and snow tire law).

I think it was Sceario who posted a pic in here once of a Ferrari Lusso coming out of a building supply store with a load of lumber sticking out of the hatch.

Spotted this morning. Couldn't tell if the truck was actually there or not; camo too effective

Yup - it was an FF, the predecessor. I read an article about it later. Turns out he did it to spite his wife who had made some comment about spending so much money on an unpractical car.

Also one in the UK that went to Ikea.

the bottom one is Shmee150 [Youtuber] IIRC.

^^ the FF is more practical than the i8 I drove last month!

1991 GMC Syclone out in the snow.

Mclaren (570S Spyder I think) with dealer tags at the Fairmont Pacific Rim valet stand when we came out of the lobby bar last night . It was snowing hard at the time and the cab was sliding around a bit on the ride home. Wonder how that guy made out

The Syclone and Typhoon were very cool little trucks. It's been a long while since I've seen one.

Firm · « **Reply #11674 on:** February 18, 2018, 06:42:24 pm »

I'd LOVE a Typhoon or Syclone, if I ever found one at a good price I'd snap it up. It's a sacrilege that someone installed a freakin JC Whitney visor on that one. Kudos for rockin it in the snow though....

Whoah - awesome find! Never seen a Syclone or Typhoon on the wild. Shame they didn't keep building those.

Somebody was giving a salt bath this morning to a pristine triple-brown Grand Marquis similar to this one:

X100, would love either one as well. Yeah the cheesy visor and most offensive is that creeper cap. What a way to ruin the looks and functionality of a truck.

I saw a olive drab camouflaged Mustang today. Who does this to their car!

Someone that shops a lot at TSC (tractor supply co.)

I'm always amazed every time I go to one of their stores to the amount of stuff that is uselessly sold in cammo pattern. Seems that there is a market for it
