Hey thanks folks.

It's like Old Home Week.

After 16 years on the Prairies, it's a bit of a shift, has to be said.

I also conceded that nimble motorcycles don't really have a place in the prairies other than track days. New Brunswick must have some fun coastal roads?

I get being sold on electric. I always figured I would get a fun little manual transmission car again one day after we get to our goal of buying our forever home, but at the moment I'm not so sure.

There are a fair number of nice rides around the province, with a lot more curves and elevation changes than on the Prairies.  :)

On the down side, lots of moose, bears and deer in the more rural areas, so you really have to be sharp about it.

I came really close to getting a Fiat Spyder Abarth. Excellent condition and low miles in red. Looked sharp. But digging into it, parts are already an issue, so stuck with the EV plan.

^It's true, had a customer the other day looking for a replacement turbo for the Fiat 124 Abarth, couldn't get anything for him at all.

See that is what I would call an excuse to upgrade the turbo and get it tuned
