Not many here, either.  Might be 5 to 10 in the city.  But I do know someone that owns one, and it has spent a lot of time on a flatbed  :rofl2:

Owner was elderly so quite possible some user error involved. 

Odds and ends....never heard a lot of complaints because it wasn't his daily driver, but whenever I asked if he'd driven it anywhere interesting, his response was always that it's in Montreal or whatever for repairs/service.  Also got into a fender bender that took forever to get resolved.  Enough gremlins that he wouldn't take it on much of a road trip.  Waste of money if you ask me.

Friend of mine in Fredericton leased a RR Evoque several years ago the first year they came out.  The dealer is a 5 hour drive away and it was flatbeded there at least twice.  He replaced it last year with a first-year Jag from the same dealer.   ;D

Hoards of them in the GTA. There's a row of about 15-20 Tesla Super Charger in the parking lot at Vaughan Mills, went by there around lunch last week and almost every slot was filled, pretty wild!

I think your friend found a loophole: why put miles on your precious Jag when you can do it to a loaner  :rofl2:

This 4Runner looks lowered like a 4 cylinder Tacoma, or is it just me?

I think lowered. I used to see a lowered Forester around here, useless off road but possibly fun to drive.

I work with the guy in the red truck.

Yikes. Did the big truck stop or did he just continue on?

Nope, lucky considering there was a sled in the back.

Maybe a little bit. 4x2 model? Don’t know if they sold them here, but could be a U.S. vehicle.

Who would lower a 4Runner? And if someone was going to do it, they’d probably slam it, not lower it a tiny bit.
