Not what you would typically see in the dead of winter in Fredericton.



On my way back from wolf I’ll on Saturday, I passed a similar one around moncton. Might have been the same one.  Boat city, those things are big.

Doesn't really look that big flanked by those full size trucks.  That thing would have dwarfed anything else on the road in its day.

Yeah, I thought it was funny that all the other vehicles in the pic were trucks. The black Ram in the background is a brand new dually that's always parked there for some reason.

Today the full size truck is the replacement for that Caddie. Not really that surprising at all in my opinion. It is what people of today feel they must drive.

Followed a Lincoln Aviator for quite a distance into work this morning.  Nice profile from all angles i could see and the grill is in proper proportion compared to the gaping maws of some others in the class.  It was a nice shade of blue like the one below.  Nice classy looking ride!  8)

If I was ever to get a SUV, it probably would be a Lincoln honestly. They seem to really nail the luxury and looks for the segment.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

On the way home from work I spotted two horses pulling a wagon down King Edward.  Probably from this place:

Driving down the highway toward the USA border for work earlier and I notice a RCMP car set up as a speed trap in the median.  Hardly a vehicle on the highway, so not sure what the point was in that, and why would he even want to pull someone over in this environment for something as trivial as a speeding violation?  Nothing better to do?  Almost made me want to put this in the moron thread.    ::) :P

Just returned from my Toronto and back trip

Despite there being approx 40% less traffic on the highway there are still plenty of people who can't wait the 2 seconds for a lane to clear and have to make 6 lane changes to try and get around everybody. Easily counted 6 cars doing over 150 kph. Holy :censor:.

On the good side, my drive time was 60 mins vs the regular 90 minutes. Chill out people.

Did see a Saturn Vue and a stegosaurus.

These guys have been laying in my back yard for the last couple of hours.  There are four of them; one behind the tree.  WFH FTW!  ;D
