Why are 3 keys a must?  Lose your keys often?  I've never lost a car key

I've never lost a car key myself either - but I have on occasion forgotten them somewhere (say, at work when I bike) while the second set is out.
Incredibly useful for road trips too.

Note that more than 2 people regularly drive the cars.

And, if a lost key were to happen it'd cost me a minimum of $200 to replace so this is an insurance with the added convenience :p

Applied for NEXUS on Sunday. Conditionally approved yesterday. Booked appointment for this morning. Went forward without a hitch, though the fingerprinting system was slow. Approved. Card should ship soon.

The Border guards were incredibly surprised I was able to get it done so quickly.

Wow..that's fast!  It took us a total of 60 days..give or take.  You'll have your card in less than 10 days.

We LOVE out NEXUS!!

I'm not sure I'm actually going to get that much use out of it, but it was rather painless to get it, and I had the time for the next few months to go for interview during the week (no weekend interviews here)

In any case this is easier to carry around when going to the US

Oh, If I go someplace with my car I return with my car so can't happen to me lol

If you fly and the airport is set-up for Trusted Traveller, you get to bypass some of the lines.  Works great!

We mainly use it for the NEXUS only lines crossing the border...sooooo much quicker.

Buying some Sabres vs Canucks tickets as a birthday present for my Dad.  Is there any other place to do it, so your not paying service charges, plus download charges.  Never really buy tickets...

Jalopnik is reporting that all Porsche 911s in MY 2016 will be turbocharged except the GT3. #canitbetrue?

Inevitable. Look at the Macan line up. There is a Macan S and a Macan Turbo, both are turbocharged. So from a product positioning perspective they have already laid the grounds for this change. I hear a Turbo 4 will also make its way in the Boxter / Cayman line up sometime soon.

Inevitable I suppose but the 911 lineage is substantial while the Macan's is nil.

Forever the 911 Turbo meant one thing. Soon it will mean all things.

End lament.

Company just moved into a new office building, and my chemical sensitivity has gone off the charts with all the paint, carpet glue, cubicle fabrics and new plastics offgassing.     Brutal.

It's just awful.  My eyes are still red and sore, and I still have a headache.  I know, #firstworldproblem, but holy hell...  I think I might call a WFH day tomorrow, just to give my senses a break.  Oh, and they're still trying to balance the HVAC, and it was 27C all day today in our area.

^^ I find Princess Auto is really bad for this.  Last time I was there the smell of synth rubber was almost overwhelming...

There's a woman who periodically comes to Sens games drenched in some Eau-de-Whatever.  The chemical green cloud that descends on our section makes me want to puke and my eyes water.  I've approached the Sens (I'm a season ticket holder)and surprisingly they have no no-Scent policy!  You kidding me?

Do yourself a favor and do some sinus irrigation 2x a day ASAP (Neti pot, squeeze bottle, etc).  You'll be glad you did.

Every time I go to a trade show my eyes water from the carpets they use (Las Vegas Convention Center or Orlando).
There was one training room at IBM Markham that used to give me crushing headaches too. Sucks.

Funny! I know exactly where that is. Back to the topic.... there was a thread about out-gassing and in particular how some car manufacturers (I think of our Santa Fe) seem worse than others. You've got to wonder what you are breathing.
