Found a V6 TSX that didn’t have V6 wheels.

I think that Civic is running a bit rich.

Maybe. It’s not common to see that here outside of very modified cars, though.

They’ve really taken off around here. My brother lives in Bon Air and they built one right across the street from him.

Most of ours have been C-store sized, so no real threat to real grocery stores...but we just had one open in an old HH Gregg location. Basically a small grocery store.

Also, I just recently heard they also own Trader Joe’s. Interesting.

TIL there is a V6 TSX.

I’d pop a quarter into the steering wheel and return it when I was done.

Oh man, I saw an Aldi in Dallas earlier this year. What a funky and interesting store. I left with the impression that one probably couldn’t do their entire weekly grocery shopping there, but you can pick up all kinds of odd stuff for cheap.

Yeah, all the ones here are smaller than a typical grocery store. Haven’t seen one that’s as small as a C-store, but I think a lot of the ones in Europe are like that.

There are two Aldi companies, Aldi North and Aldi South, based on the regions of Germany where they operate. Aldi North runs Trader Joe’s while Aldi South is Aldi in the US.

They’re fairly uncommon. 2nd gen TSXs are fairly common around here, and I’ve only ever seen 5 or 6 V6s. They’re usually identifiable by a different wheel design from the 4-cylinder ones, but this one had the base wheels.

V6 wheels:

Base wheels (my car):

Yeah, I split my grocery shopping between there and the Target that’s nearby. The combination of them is cheaper than if I were to shop at either Target by itself or any of the “normal” grocery stores.

Aldi and another German company Lidl are doing really well in the U.K. as they undercut the main four supermarkets (Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons and Sainsburys), causing a lot of upheaval and reducing profits of the other companies.

It’s Trader Joe’s downmarket brand, but there’s quite a bit of commonality.
