A spotless TR6 at Costco gas pumps.  With a Historic vehicle plate.   I remember them as being new cars not historic cars!

I spoke to the owner and  his nearly opens the door when cornering fast on a bumpy road... evil cars!

Two new cars in the parking lot. New Mazda3 and a Honda Clarity.

The paint on the Mazda is beautiful.

That is gorgeous. And the only picture of your GLI I could find on the forum :stick: Will you winter store the motorcycle? How annoying is it getting it out each time you want to ride? My friend just moved to an apartment and lucked out getting a long parallel parking spot so he can access both easily.

I guess an advantage of Winnipeg is that outdoor parking often has block heater cables - more than enough power for a PHEV.

That's what Clarity guy was doing. If you're just doing a bit of a commute, the 120V, 15A plug will charge it up easily overnight.

I'm still not entirely sure about the Clarity's styling. It looks sort of French. I'm not convinced that I hate it. Not sure if I love it either.

The GLI is only clean briefly after I put it through the car wash. It looks terrific briefly, then dusty.  :P

Followed a black Infiniti M56S into work this morning.  Don't see many of those around here.  Nice looking car, and this one was well driven by a very nice looking lady as well.  ;D

Yesterday on the highway saw a special edition jeep wrangler. It was kind of a light blue or baby blue. It was gorgeous.  There was a word on the side  ut i could not remember.  It had a Hawai surfer look to it.

Arctic Edition?

Saw a Lexus LC500 today, which I consider one of the best looking cars sold.  Just gorgeous.  I'd rather have one than any other luxury coupe.  At $124K all in with the Performance Package, I don't see the need for anything pricier.

Lots of speed traps around here last couple of weeks.  Drove by three on my commute this morning.  Normally they are a rare sight around these parts.  That time of year i guess.

Probably not a turbo swap as parts are next to impossible to find. I'd do a Fiat 1.4T if I could find one cheap. I hope to get it going as is (it is a real mess electrically) then do some sort of a swap into it.

Helped this guy cross the road earlier today after nearly running him over.  He raised up to attack the truck as i got close to him otherwise I wouldn't have noticed him.  Biggest one I've seen in a while and the first this year.  The shell was at least a foot long.
