I'm not sure "real" poutine is worth dealing with quebecers for. It might be worthwhile during the grand prix because there would be enough out-of-towners that you wouldn't have to deal with many locals.

Michener allen collector car auction is next weekend, who's ready?

Most of the BMWs I see around these days are driven in a sensible manner, I think those assholes all traded their 3's and 5's in for bro-trucks.
Dodge Journeys though. Christ just about every one of those things I see ends up pulling some kind of jackass move.

You say that, but as soon as i get in my bmw, i start driving like an rear end in a top hat.

It's the car influencing the driver, i swear.

This is why we can't have nice things.




The biggest bits were maybe quarter sized, but they were hard and clear, and coming down fast. I can't see any dents in the vehicles right now, but they're still wet so they might not show.

Well, our Aug. 26 event turned out to be double booked at the track... So some rich dudes paid thousands for an "experience" on the track we were trying to run an autox on... And Ryan Tuerck and Chris Forsberg were filming an episode of Tuerck'd on the skidpad about Rob Parson's hand controls drift car.

So, once we'd setup on the track, then torn down, then moved to the skidpad to watch the drifters who were "15 minutes from being done" all the way until sunset it was done...

So, in partial compensation, we got a full day from the track this Sunday Aug. 31.
