Yeh..kinda classy for an old fart like me.. It has power front seats and it looks like the back seat has never been used.. Maybe on Fathers Day I'll get to try it out...

Nice looking car. Hope you saved some money to buy maw something.

I bought her Mothers Day Flowers.. For $7.99...

Those were the ones you bought her the other day?

It's a great looking car, Dale, and I wish you the joy of it. I never realised that Canada used kilometres rather than miles. In real life I guess it's only travelled about 32,000 miles. That looks a lot better.

Yep..we're semi-metric .. like England.. when we were there 6 years ago.. I think the speed was posted in KPH..and all the road signs were in miles... I don't really care for Metric.. not that its hard to learn... but all our country roads are laid out in miles.. An East -West road every mile and a North-South road every 2 miles.. Its based on a section of land which is one square mile... I think..??...and Celsius temps are way too coarse a scale.. They give temps in both C & F..and in the stores..meat is marked in both Kgs and Lbs...with Lbs being the largest number on the package..

Here in Scotland we still have Miles per Hour and Miles per Gallon even though we have to buy our petrol by the litre. I don't suppose there's a soul in the entire country who can tell you how many miles to the litre his car does. Everyone has to convert litres to gallons before making the calculation. As far as weights and measures is concerned everything is similar to you in as much as it is displayed in Kgs and Lbs. Unfortunately Kgs take prominence. It's an absolute bugger trying to figure out how many Kgs are in half a pound. And it's getting worse.

Nice car.

Isn't the steering wheel on the wrong side, though?

Nice Car ..

and yes, Dale should be able to tell you liters per mile as gas is sold by the liter in Canada as well.
