 French? Check. Restaurant? Check. To any pedants, French is one of Canada's official languages, and Tim Hortons has a bilingual menu. IM TRYING NOT TO PROBATE FOR 'CORRECT' SUBMISSIONS BUT GOD drat THIS WAS BAD E: At the very least, the coffee was free (rollup!) and maybe it's time to get some rap sheet cred after over a decade of bad posting. EE: Rollup is a special time of year celebrated in both English and French-speaking communities here. Basically you buy coffee for the chance to buy more coffee.  Post a picture of your car in front of a French restaurant / cuisine.

But they serve poutine...  Sorry for disappointing. In this little part of Canada not as close to the border as most, the options were "fast food joint that also serves a handful of vaguely 'French' foods like poutine," or "drive to different city an hour away." I knew I was playing fast and loose with the definition but I thought I would've gotten a laugh or two out of that. Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Feb 18, 2017 |

 Ok, doesn't exactly mill flour but they are colloquially referred to as windmills. And it was a drive. Post your vehicle beside a natural formation of some sort that is taller than your vehicleI.e. Big rock wall, high snow, NO TREES.

Does the snow count if it's been piled by unnatural means?

Imo, natural formation implies that the pile of snow was not made with a shovel, blower, or plow.

Small so nobody thinks this is my attempt at the challenge because I'd say a wind turbine is a form of windmill because the point is the convert wind energy into another form of energy more useful for work. At the same time, I detest them. I used to live at this farm and drove all the way down there after work to take a picture of my car next to the windmill you can make out behind the house. Unfortunately by the time I got there it was pitch-dark and basically the picture I took with a flash showed only my car reflecting all the light. Without a flash, no car, and the windmill was backlit by a very dark part of the night sky instead of say, the milkyway. I tried it with a flashlight too, no dice.  E: At least all this driving is helping me remember how to stick. Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Feb 19, 2017 |

A wind turbine is definitely a kind of windmill. Sorry, I should have been more clear.

There's also a neat statue dedicated to the fallen confederate soldiers and sailors:  In this cool historical vein, Post your car next to (in your opinion) the most important historical site in your town.

I took this photo 5 minutes before you posted that Adiabatic, so I'm posting it anyway. Not to contest the winner, but because I drove 1/2 an hour out of my way to get it and I think it fits the spirit of the request better than yours. Gloucester area bedrock. Most of the granite buildings in Boston are made from this. Disgruntled Bovine fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Feb 19, 2017 |

 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_Bridge_disaster The site of the Tay Bridge Disaster, an important point in the history of Dundee, and in rail travel and engineering in general. After the disaster, changed were made to the design of bridges within the UK, to better cope with the effects of high winds on bridges. The bridge collapse was the worst major disaster in Dundee's history, with significant loss of life, and while there are other significant historical landmarks in Dundee, such as the ships the Discovery and the Unicorn, and its many mills the site of the old Tay Rail bridge and its replacement are the most significant in its history - the ships while historic landmarks are the history of seafearing, not of dundee itself, and while the mills in general play an important part of Dundee history not one in particular has more significance than the Tay Rail Bridge. Also I couldn't get parked close enough to the Discovery  Post your car facing the factory where it was built, as if facing Mecca in prayer You should note the compass bearing for used as evidence. Edit: improved my justification & a clarification. stump fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Feb 20, 2017 |
