I went used car shopping again. I made appointments online. I met salesmen that actually seemed to want to sell me something. It was... nice?

Overall, I had a much better experience this time. I ended up buying something, too! It’s not very Oppo, but it’s going to serve us well, I think.

I will reveal the details after I pick it up this Friday. Anyone (in Canada) wanna buy a crappy Passat wagon?

I currently shopping as well. It isn’t nearly as pushy as I remember it being when I bought my Mustang.

Strangely enough many Oppos have cars that aren’t very Oppo. Maybe that’s the most Oppo thing to do ?

Only internet nerds are willing to make the choice of buying a minivan.

Minivans are too big for life in the big city. I did not buy a minivan, but I was looking at them.

Most dealers wouldn't even give me the time of day. Stock appears to be moving so fast that they just don't care.

Not me! I was gonna light it on fire and push it into the St. Laurence but my wife was against that plan.

As an aside, I can see which word broke your bilingual brain. Laurent or Lawrence?

oh man!

I was hoping you’d get an X-Trail, Orlando, Micra, B-class , or Echo hatch lol

I no longer know how it’s spelled in English. It’s “le fleuve St-Laurent” in French, so I assumed Laurence in English, because spelling is closest.

This is incorrect... I don't know how I feel about that.

Nope, sorry. But that's a neat list! Maybe next time.

Depending on what you are looking for, it definitely is. I inquired on a “ coming soon” vehicle only to be told it was sold. Dealer aren’t swapping anymore either really. Was told they are all being stingy, at least on crew cab pickups.
