That specific one doesn't seem to be a PHEV. It would have prominent PHEV badging on the front driver's side fender.

I just put an offer in on a vehicle I looked at today, waiting for a response.


We'll play the guessing game if a deal is made.   Sometimes I think I buy weird stuff just so I'll have a good show and shine :pimp:

There's a little spat in Windsor.  A unionized service provider to FCA lost their contract to a non-union provider.  So the CAW (Unifor) is blockading the entrance.  The union president was saying "These are skilled workers!!"

And what is this skilled job you ask?  Literally, parking cars in a parking lot.   :rofl: :rofl2:

Gotta love union spin!!   :rofl: :rofl2:

Tavares will sort it out

Seems like an interesting guy:

In person, Tavares is direct and approachable, with little of the "great man" mystique attached to powerful CEOs. He flies on discount airlines and stays in budget hotels. Away from the office, which he says gets 100 percent of his time from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., his passion is vintage racing, whether it's a 1980s Formula 3, a rally-prepped Peugeot 104 or sharing the driver's seat in a thundering Lola T70.

Anyone watching the junior gold game tonight?  Based on how Canada has done versus the US against the same teams, we should be able to get a victory, but guess we’ll see. Hasn’t been an exciting tournament watching the Canadians trounce everyone.

Got woken up last night with an emergency alert.  All 4 phones screaming away simultaneously.  First time this has happened to us and I initially thought it was the smoke alarm.   :o  Apparently rcmp are looking for an active shooter in the moncton area but the first alert never mentioned the area of concern. 

Strange because he looks like an upstanding guy.... ::)

Apparently he was recently released from prison where he was serving time for a bank robbery in Moncton a few years ago. Just saw that they found his car in Amherst but no sign of him yet.

It's a better things at least for us dark roast lovers.

Looks like they added Sumatran to their blend. Ours is roasted pretty dark and oily, one of my favourites so far, goes well with Cigars!  ;)
