Just saw this beauty and reminded me of my childhood.

Very cool

Nothing earth shattering, but I haven't seen one in a decade until a couple of days ago one just like this on 401. Hint: it's Korean.
I think it was dark green and in a very good shape.

I love old Citroens and would really like to own a DS one day.

Probably an early Kia ? Nabira, Sephia?

Watch the movie Barneys Version if you ever get a chance. The main character drives a DS and there are lots of scenes with it so worth watching just for that, and it's actually quite a good movie.

This is the actual car they used, now in Regina...

No time to take a pic. Suzuki Cappuccino on the weekend. First I had seen. They're tiny, much like a Honda Beat. I guess older than 15 years now.

Am I missing something? Just a Honda Civic Si, with some winter alloys. Back when they were less ugly. Not a rare vehicle.

Yes. The guy probably thought why the heck I was riding his bumper in the middle lane

(I needed to read the badges of course)

Man, you need to spend some more time in Mississauga / Brampton. You can't turn around without bumping into one of those.

For what it's worth though, the bright red and those lightweight rims do work well on that car.

I live near Windsor...land of the militant unions!!

You're burned at the stake by the militant unions if you try and drive anything other than domestic (even though FCA is a foreign company).

That's an exaggeration....but domestics are more popular here by a wide margin.

There's a single Honda dealer here.

I have the same rims for my civic SI. Definitely not winter beater rims though. The weight difference between stock and these enkeis is staggering!

On another note, first motorcycles of the year spotted this evening.

Saw a couple as well. Might have been the same ones.

Bikes have been out for a few weeks here.
