^^Yep!!  With some lightweight Enkei for good measure!

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.

Bikes have been out for a few weeks here.

You don't have winter.  :P   ;D

Maybe you would if you saw Manitoba rates for motorcycle insurance. Mpi makes you pay the full amount from may-oct iirc so right now those guys are riding for free.

First Aston Martin DB11 on the road and in the flesh. Pulled out of the luxury condo across from my office and rolled up yonge st. Youngish guy and a cute blonde. That's a properly good looking car.

Saw a couple, presumably deaf, arguing on the sidewalk.  In sign language.  Was kinda funny to watch, to be honest.

Saw my first Clarity Plugin parked in Oakville this morning. This colour:

It didn't look bad in person, just a little quirky.
I wish it had more creature comforts for the price, like a 4-way lumbar and ventilated seats... otherwise a great alternative to Volt.

I saw a 650S and R8 within 3 feet of each other on my walk home from office to train station. Man, I wonder what these guys have for their fun cars.

Looks like my neighbour around the corner swapped his FR-S for an MX-5 RF in that deep red colour. Looks absolutely terrific.

Nice!  Guy I work with swapped his BRZ for a Golf R last December. 

Now that I think of it, I've only ever seen maybe one FR-S in the flesh.  Mostly BRZs around here.

Like Skylines? Like pickups? Can only have one vehicle? This person has it covered. Didn't get a close look.

I saw two H1s parked in an industrial area parking lot.  I guess the owner is a fan.

Saw both of these in the space of 5 minutes yesterday evening on my way to dinner:  a Plymouth Acclaim and a lovely Bentley.
