I've just realized, I haven't driven the Passat since Sunday. Been on the 390 all week.

Mileage must be quite low on that eh?

Right around 3.5l/100KM on the last tank, ~500kms on the bike.

The Passat hasn't rolled over 29k kms yet. Just over 3 years old. Kind of why I'm thinking of buying it out when the lease is up next June.

There’s a provincial election campaign on in NB.  Today I did my part.  Got a call from an unknown number, figured it was a survey, which it was.  Gave totally random answers to every question, including my age.

I got a call from "EKOS Research" this morning but I didn't pick up.

That is exactly what a  friend got for her kid's first car.   The clutch was gone 20 minutes after he left home with it.
She thought the dealer sold them a car with a worn out clutch, which might be the case, or he did his first burnout and couldn't tell the difference between clutch smoke and tire smoke.

Took somebody to a periodontist appt this morning. Since I had to sit there and wait I asked if they have WIFI. Nope. I'm fine with that as I came prepared but then she continues.....We don't have it because our files contain confidential information.

Couldn't she just stopped at NO and leave at that. I was strong and didn't make a comment but such a BS answer.

You never know what IT people will tell clients so she may believe what she's saying is reasonable.

I agree and do believe she thinks that is the real reason.

So, a friend's wife works at Collin's Bay Penitentiarty, right in the middle of the city of Kingston.

Apparently they shoot down about 4 drones per week doing deliveries.

Not sure how true/accurate this is but even if close, scary stuff and another reason I try to avoid process and/or junk food.

Ha, good luck avoiding it.  Look up "Roundup ready".

This seems like it would be a BAD idea if you have a pregnant woman in the house:
