I decided to drive it up to Cars and Coffee Toronto this morning at Engineered Automotive. The drive was 30 miles round-trip and this thing drank a quarter tank of premium in that time! Hellooooooo fuel costs haha The turnout was great and there was a ton of variety.

My car took the drive like a champ. This thing is awesome! It pulls like a damn freight train from stop lights, floats over bumps and idles like a kitten. I got a lot of thumbs up though one crusty 40 year old lady bitched me out for not being able to fit in my lane. Narrow Toronto streets are a challenge in this thing! I named her Peggy and despite her heavy drinking habits, I love her.

I assume you had the biggest car at the show?

What I love about these shows is the parking combinations. Peggy, the Skyline, and the 2CV are a great mix.

There was a new Rolls Phantom which I swear is bigger. That thing was massive. There was a gorgeous 1969 Cadillac 'vert there as well so at least I wasn't the only land barge haha

I know, right? The crazy variety is what makes these shows so fun.

Now when I think of your Newport I'll think of "her".

They may not handle but the land barges sure are cool.
