I might be in...

Also, walking distance from MTS?  While I appreciate the want to stay central, this is a car focused forum, and the SHED is hardly what I would call car parking friendly.

Pony Corrall would be cool, as it is a very car focused restaurant (weekly car show on Sundays).

Surely there is plenty of public parking in downtown Winnipeg.

We always parked under the library back in the day.

During the day on a weekday?  Not really.

Honestly, BW, most of us (myself included) will be at work on Wednesday around noon.  Now, if you arranged to come in on a weekend.  Seriously, we could do a Sunday late afternoon/early evening at the Pony Corral on Grant.  They have Sunday Cruise nights with a car show in the parking lot.  Seems like a perfect venue for a group of car enthusiasts to gather at.

Seriously, though.  You should come in one Sunday, and we should do the Pony Corral thing.

This guy I know told me that the best car he's owned was his 1996 Miata. Not too unusual, but he's also owned a 997.2 Turbo, a Ferrari 458, a second gen R8, and he currently drives a new 911 GTS.

I bought Jalapeno M&M's yesterday.  I like 'em.  The kids hated them.  Why!??? So I got to eat most of them.   ;D I didn't tell them, just said here, want some peanut M&M's?  Well of course they do.  Then the heat...yuck!  No...they're


Maybe I can't taste what they're tasting, to me they were just a little warm, but still a peanut M&M.

Also bought a bag of English Toffee M&Ms....and, well...


What the hell were they thinking...yuck.  I guess I was thinking maybe kinda like Skor bits...but no...I obviously have no idea what English Toffee is.  They're gross.

Also bought Dusty Boots Hard Root Beer...mmmmmmm....I might have found my go-to retirement beverage.  Also got some Hires, so we'll see how that stuff is too.  Better than any malt assisted RB beverage anyway.  That (malt) ranks right up there with or worse than English Toffee M&Ms.

A friend of mine was raving about those last week. She's a fan, apparently. Haven't tried them myself.
