Topic: Interesting things seen on the way to work thread

Drove by a Canada Post contractor this morning on a rural road and the vehicle was loaded to the ceiling with boxes.  This was in a Chevy Equinox and the lady driver was completely surrounded by parcels, even on the passenger seat was stacked to the ceiling.  No barrier either.
Crazy times if she ever gets in an accident.

It would still need some mods to hit 191 MPH on a street like that.

Wasn't this on the QEW? I can't even think of a time I've been able to go more than 1/4 km without having a car in my way even at the quiet times. Add in the multiple on/off ramps, stupid drivers, I'm not sure if more than micro bursts to 200-ish would be possible. Getting to 300 (if possible) would be a sun and stars lined up event.

Also shows how busy they are with parcels. Might explain all the complaining in another thread concerning Canada Post.

I am waiting for some beer.

Had a guy in the best sounding M3 blow by me today. I've never heard a run of the mill 4 or 6 cylinder BMW sound like this. It sounded absolutely brutal and would rustle the jimmies of any car guy/gal within earshot. Is there such a thing as a V8 or V10 M3??

Now that things are starting to open up around here the cops have started a major speed trap blitz.  Saw four cars pulled over within a span of 5 kms, or so.  This is rare around here.   

Also, the this week i've been noticing cops scouring the ditches along the east bound lane of NB Hwy1 last few of days.  Yesterday I saw three cops cars pulled over on the highway with about 100M between them and pairs of cops scouring the ditches beside them.  Then this morning I saw another three cars a little further up the road doing the same.  Not sure what that's about.

Making up for some lost revenue?

^ Awesome. 

Stopped in to see my bils new Highlander that he just picked up this morning.  Best part is the gigantic moonroof skyroof.  Who needs a convertible with something that huge.  He pulled it into the garage before i could snap a pic of that..lol

LOL - I should get two stickers made for the C30; one that says "mic" and one that says "phones."

Yes and no.  We have the hugest (believe me!) moonroof in creation on the Q7 and between the heavy tint and the fact that the opening is out of your line of sight behind you, it's only a big deal for the 2nd and 3rd row passengers.

@Bubba, a woodie for you!  It's local.
