He texted me a little while ago, I think there's a Land Rover Experience thing going on in Halifax, so that's probably what they're for.

No, it's probably just a coincidence.   ;D

Seen a long white Limo Lincoln SUV with dealer transit from Massachusetts in Montréal, maybe delivering to a Cdn customer?

A black Tesla Model 3 passed me on the A15 north. View from back it looks like a small model S.
Gone but not forgotten in chronological order: 2019 Volt, 2013 Volt, 2014 Spark EV, 2012 Volt and many others before...

This morning after dropping the boys off at daycare I saw a previous gen Toyota Sienna smoking & puking out transmission fluid at a traffic light.  When the light turned green the van couldn't move.

Hadn't heard of that model name before. Interesting.

Dad had a 1958 Biscayne that was ordered in by some police department, who then decided they didn't need it. Base, base car, except for the heavy duty suspension and the 348 cubic inch engine which even had the six pack carburettors.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Yes, I had not heard of it either.
6 pack you say, well, well. Built for Broderick Crawford I guess. ;)

A Chevy Citation X11.  I guess a '79 or '80  coming out of the Guelph U parking.  From the sight I got seemed to be running OK couldn't see any visible rust.
