classic, looks clean - need a bowler hat, monocle, pipe, and smoking jacket to complete the look

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

Aside from something like a G-wagen or Porsche my wife isn't interested in SUVs/crossovers. The smaller the car, the better. Before we bought the BMW wagon she was worried it was going to be too big.

See, she loves, L-O-V-E-S, the G wagen, the Kardashian one, not the UN specced ones I like.



Lighten up Francis.....

I realized that in the last few days I've seen at least half a dozen CR-Vs with the rear window Type R lightweight garbage bag racing mod.

I desparately tried to buy a used 6 wagon with a stick, but all of them had rust issues, despite being only 3-4 years old.  Settled on a Mazda5 with a stick, which was probably a better vehicle for a young family.

Got passed by a mint pearl-white Cadillac STS on the way to the West Island. Rarer than the Urus I passed next.

I had two and my dad had one, all manuals. My first one was perfect and rust free and unfortunately was written off.

Seen at a B&B around the corner from my house this afternoon. Not pictured was a 996 C4S cabriolet. All three had ON plates. Ruf wheels on the 993. The dark blue over pebble grey (very light) on the Targa is an awesome combo.

^ Nice!  Love the 993.  So much smaller than the 992.  Shame about the front plate though.   ;D

Someone in my hood has a new GT3.  Seen it flying by my house a few times this summer.  Finally got a pic a few days ago, but just barely.  I was doing ~130 and he flew by me.  There's also a GT3 RS I see around quite often.  It's black with the aurum wheels.

Holy :censor:!



There was a guy in a Chrysler Dealership Mechanics uniform standing around, so I'm curious if this is a joyride in a customer car gone wrong!
