We saw this cute pale pink station wagon parked in Erindale today. I've never seen a car in quite that shade of pink before. 🩷

IMHO: the ad is just a little too low-budget amateur to graduate fully from 'massive cringe' (my overriding reaction lol) to socially disruptive 'parody' but OK, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt I guess?
Aside: what i take away from this is that car salespeople of all genders are incapable of not being creepy or cringy-af. lol

At a store parking lot, wife and I talked about the many interesting car license plates there, and believe it or not, we come out of the store and see a car with the exact same license plate as ours. 😮

Why we can't have nice things, next episode.
Mr driver didn't work hard all his life, so he couldn't drive his car to the very edge of the #lake, and had to leave it at the road, 5 metres away.

Shredded car plastics could reenter new vehicles, cutting emissions by up to 29%
Each year, 4 to 6 million cars are scrapped in the EU—resulting in the loss of resources. The EU End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation is intended to ensure that these materials are recovered and reused in new vehicles in the future. Researchers at the TUM have now analyzed a process developed within the Car2Car research project that enables plastics to remain within the recycling loop. The study, published in Waste Management, shows potential climate benefits as well as the possibility of meeting …

Anyone ever replace the main battery in your hybrid car? I’m planning to do this for my 12 year old Honda Accord hybrid.

I hope they're doing the plate justice. One way or another. 😉

We needed to pick up 30 potted flowers from a garden centre about 5km away.
My wife and I split the task. I attached a trailer to one of my bikes and she took a hand pulled wagon on the local metro line.
No problems. Who needs a car? 😉

best secondary car-related purchase (trailer) i have ever made beside the next best car-related purchase i have made.
This trailer has been infinitely useful even if the car is not technically "rated" for it, a cross-Canada trip and endless runs to the transfer depot, stores, soil dispensary, and rock yard have made it a huge part of our home life. Even if the lights on it only work 75% of the time (seriously... how can they not make these things more robust?)
And the little electric pump is so great. Can plug in to both 120V home and 12V car outlet, has multiple ends for different types of tires and inflatable things. Great for home, car and camping. Set a PSI or kPa, hit the go button and it runs until the pressure is met.
Highly recommend! (both purchased at CanTire but the trailer comes from many places under different names (all made in Ontario). The pump is CanTire brand Motomaster

Do schools' car-free drop-offs really work?
It's a familiar sight at schools across the country: a line of slow-moving vehicles pulling up to the curb before a child jumps out. A similar scene plays out in the afternoons, only with children hopping into cars waiting to pick them up.

I don't get why city authorities don't get that. What modern society expects is that all residential buildings in the cities are razed to make space for roads and car parks, so that the people who were forced to live in suburbs can now conveniently drive their cars to the office.

Took my car to the dealer for a complimentary annual maintence today.
They told me the cabin air filter was not covered and it needed to be replaced, they did show me a very dirty filter before asking if I wanted them to replace it.
I agreed in the moment to the $117 cost. I think it was about 50% parts and 50% labor.
But I've now looked it up, and it's an incredibly simple thing to replace and is a $20 part. So never again.

new tire time.
264,000km on the car.
Including original all seasons, I think this is my 3rd set of "summer/allseason". Going with high mileage Nokian One.
This will be the end of a 3rd set of winters.
Not cheap, but the most important part on the road.
I've probably bought 12 sets of tires at the same Kaltire shop over the past 25 years across 4 cars.
They're good people.
