I chalk it up to the fumes from our Superior German Adhesives.

That would make sense, since "German Car Smell" is most prominent (at least to my nose) in the W163 Merc, and M-class drivers are invariably awful.

I have fled the flat, frozen, pothole (cavern) strewn roads of Alberta for glorious :japan: I mean Vancouver. I will watch this thread with a weird mix of nostalgia and smug superiority at not being stuck with roads that only go in four directions (N,E,S,W). Also, I will envy you your cheap, cheap fuel, zero taxation on used vehicle sales, and also support of the military.

If he's driving from the US, a decent Poutinerie (is that a word?) opened in Lethridge too.

The one nice thing about hitting a pothole in Edmonton in the winter is that at -25 the rubber is so stiff that all tires are run-flats

That big storm that just went through Airdrie is blowing itself out now; the cold downdraft is killing the storms developing behind it, so we're OK for the next couple hours or so.

E: I do wonder about that hook-shaped radar return approaching Three Hills though. :ohdear:

Oh man am I ever lucky. I was out picking up firewood at bluegrass garden centre when the storm hit. I caught just the tail end of it with some heavy rain.

Once I got back to the Airdrie office, my buddy said it hailed so hard someone's windshield cracked in the parking lot


Glad my 25 year old truck didn't get swiss cheesed.
