Bulls On Parade on the radio, kid got very into the pocket full of shells line. Not gonna break it to him which shells they are.

History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes.

Best seat on the subway.

The kid wanted to take a lap of the reference library because he thought the building was cool. Proud dad moment.

Not even at the car show yet, but a Traction Avant will be hard to top. #WeirdCarBS

Watching the big race

I poorly made one out of paper this week, I've been training for this! (Spoilers below) Cardle 1/5 Streak 13🔥 Total Score 1633 🟢 🟢 🟢 www.playcardle.com

For everything else wrong with the internet, being able to watch strangers fix things and work through steps that aren't in a repair manual is still pretty great.

Years ago, I drove Eric Lindros's Chevy Tahoe to drop it off at his house after a service appointment. I don't follow hockey in the slightest, but he was pleasant in the 10 seconds it took to hand off the keys.

I have a weakness for old dealer stickers www.facebook.com/share/16SeK7...

I feel about the Repsol CBR125R like Homestar Runner feels about Lil' Brudder, although with less crying. He's got the heart of a champion!

Somewhere, I still have the city mapbook I used when doing pizza delivery (which, within a few months I mostly didn't need, because grid city).

The children yearn to spin the wrenches.

Home Depot doesn't think you need a big truck.

I don't know if I'd go to the effort of importing a non-Busso Alfa, but on the other hand, they have an Alfa and I don't. #weirdcarbs

Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.

For someone who took French until Grade 10, it took me way too long to figure out why Ford called their world car the Mondeo.

TIL Ford was also working on cylinder deactivation in the late 70's. #WeirdCarBS

I know why there's so much use of the termini stations, but is that normal compared to other lines/systems?

It's filthy, hasn't been run in 10 years, and there's a growing list of things that'd probably have to be done before getting it on the road, but the engine isn't seized, so I'll take the little victories.

Marketplace listings that are 3+ months old are enough that I wish there was a filter, but 7 years?

Either from the light or lack of coffee, I read the badge on the back as STEPHEN. There's a Mazda Carol, why couldn't there be a Honda STEPHEN?

Underwhelming as the new Micra is, borrowing the styling from a bulgy hot hatch concept, and being based on a Renault with a bulgy hot hatch variant on the way, well, they've already done most of the work, so just follow through?

Late to this, but I both love that whoever chose the vehicles for the CMHC renders tailored their choices to the region (trucks for the prairies, cheaper stuff out east), and also got a Nissan Skyline and Renault LeCar in a government release. #weirdcarbs www.housingcatalogue.cmhc-schl.gc.ca

Just reported a fake LinkedIn email to my work account as phishing (my dormant account is linked to my personal email), but I should start reporting their weirder legit emails as phishing, too. My PFP is 16 years old, I am very much not "on a roll," LinkedIn.

Was Jakob Dylan singing about the Peel P50?

Is there that many ways to say "there is nothing wrong with Hot Fuzz, it is a perfect movie" that you can fill 18 minutes?

This isn't the only Saab specialist in this neighourhood, but it is the one with a Saab on the wall.

I'm not sure what the point of "we have Morgan at home" is if you're spending nearly the same money. Say what you will about the Slingshot, Polaris gets it.

Unlike modern Land Rover buyers, the Queen got the good colours. #weirdcarbs

I wonder if all three words can light up separately, to indicate both if waffles are currently available, and how hot they are.

My wife accidentally said the "Ian Fleming Institute*," which I assume specializes in researching new and innovative forms of racism and other bigotry. *she meant Alexander Fleming

WHAT YEAR IS IT www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Chrysler's vans were pretty much inescapable for years (in one of their best years, 1 in 20 new cars sold in Canada was a Chrysler van (they've gone from over 80k a year to 10k a year). They were absolutely everywhere (I stumbled on an old Streetview in my neighbourhood with 5 in a 100m strip).

X - 39yo Millennial X - Dad ? - Strong opinions about Unsafe at any Speed being good actually, and having little to do with the Corvair's discontinuation. Limited opinions on non-transport history

Carspotting or an endangered bit of city? 🤷‍♂️

This, but retro is what the ID.Buzz should've been, but if we're being sent modestly priced future transport box, I'll take it. www.autoweek.com/news/a646556...

I don't know how many friends the average German has.

They're getting rare, of course you need a spare Aztek in case you can't find one again.

I don't know if this makes me more or less of a Luddite, but smartphone as screen is worse than built-in screens. My phone is 4 years old and barely functional, and I kind of resent that I have to replace it. Why would I want to be even more dependent on it?

This is exactly why I have a laser jet printer. oldcarbrochures.org/United%20Sta...

It's 1.2km to the kid's school, I always feel bad driving and walking ends up taking forever at 5yo speed. No problems getting his bike there, failed to account for 5yo emotional volatility and that he didn't want to ride like he normally does.

How many other pop culture cars have a canonical build date? I also kind of want to know the build dates of all the picture cars used, and how many were built in Janesville.

Spent tonight detagging four of the same shirt, and mourning the pocket knife I lost to museum security which was so much better at the job (how could the fun fact-itorium do that to me?), just in case my diagnosis was ever in question.

If Canada is secretly responsible for premium pickups, we're sorry. #weirdcarbs

Stuck in the slow lane, but they were Copen with it.

Transformer! House as a disguise!

Looking at a random RAV4 at a stop light today, my brain broke and couldn't think what the current RAV4 looks like, like a word you say so often it stops sounding like a word.

17 years later and still no Nissan Companion Cube
