X3 pulls up besides me making the most horrific, loud, metal on metal screeching I have ever heard. Woman behind the wheel seems not too fazed about it as the guy in front of me was trying to let her know that its not safe to operate a car in that condition.....she didn't even acknowledge him.

And you're surprised? She has roundels and ignores the plebes.

Saw my first Leaf 2.0 in the wild, on 401. "Lettuce" green metallic with a black roof, I think

Saw the aftermath of a Grand Caravan on PT Cruise t-bone collision. Must have just happened because there was an ambulance there but no police cars. No idea how it happened. The intersection has excellent visibility.

Saw an Infiniti QX80 being loaded onto a flatbed this morning.

Unreliable they say?

Saw three cars, two Civics and one Journey, bottomed out on pile of ice/snow at the end of their respective driveway. One Civic had its rear wheels up in the air by more than 16 inches at least.

Oh, but you do not need something with ground clearance, remember, SUVs are the re-embodiment of Hitler/Stalin/Mao/Trudeau Sr.

Saw a minty late 90's Avalon.

Prius Prime on 401 this evening. Didn't look bad at all. I wish it shared the styling with the regular Prius.

There's a red SLS AMG in Guelph. Owner is at the Solstice I building...

*sigh*

Incidentally, the bubble tea sold at the new place that opened up under the residences of that building is pretty delicious and reasonably priced...

Did...did they mean for that building to look like that on purpose??

Yup. Solstice building - student housing for U of G. And, yup it's built almost right on the road.
There's another one just up the street, but not quite as heinous as this one.

That seems to be a trend, there are some new buildings around here with big blocks of different colours. I think it looks hideous. Must be a certain trend in architecture.

There's an arena in Truro NS with different shades of black/white/gray siding, it looks awful to me.
