Just came across this article from today.
I did not know that Kia Soul are SUV's.
How could she not see a friking huge yellow moving trailer.
I guess she was maybe texting as I see people texting all the time around here.

Mint Lincoln MkVII, but not the sporty LSC variant - this was an ice-blue base car with wire wheel hubcaps. Looked tiny as it followed a wide-hipped Ghibli (the Masers are so common here that I don't bother mentionning them).

Similar to this one:

I recall spotting one in the distance sometime over the weekend.  Too far away to tell if it was an LSC.

Not sure where to post this, i did not personally see this but the story is funny.

Someone spotted this bent Ford F450 in the Edmonton area, shared the pic (and a video of the guy actually driving it this way down the road) on facebook. About 50 comments in another guy post a picture of the exact same camper and trailer setup bent the EXACT same way on a older Ford F350 he spotted in the same area a few years back. Turns out its the SAME GUY! He managed to not learn from the first time he bent his truck up! Note the long trailer tongue extension for the trailer, apparently he hauls some type of very heavy tools in the trailer (he sells them). Wonder what his insurance company will have to say lol. First pic is his "new" truck.

Saw a motorbike with dual front wheels a few minutes ago.  Strange looking thing.  I’m thinking it was one of these...?

^ Rare bird, I think. I've only seen one so far. It's got kind of a post-apocalyptic look to it.

Wow. This is something new.

Two guys were towing a Chevy Colorado truck with a Camry using a straight length of chain.

The guy in the truck kept yelling instructions and the Camry kept violently jerking to a stop every time the chain went tight.

Idiots.

A Jetta wagon is getting a tow right outside our place. Here's hoping this isn't a view into my future...

Somebody is not getting another car for getting into university!
Police released the name of the car owner. I wonder how they found that out?  ::)
