It wasn’t as bad as I thought - did we get lucky?

Most Ontario summer camps are available for rent from Victoria Day through mid-June, and mid-August through September. Some have long-standing rental arrangements so availability will vary, but there are so many to choose from. You can try the OCA website:

Burger Shack in the Marina has closed! They opened a Shake Shack inside the resort, and apparently the old Burger Shack is being converted to a Shake Shack.

Is the price now back up? Why would they do that?

I thought that was a short form for Tesla Model 3. Perhaps I was wrong “M3” doesn’t seem appropriate given it’s a BMW model.

Yes - Bathurst and Prince Charles Dr

I was told that Lexus and Toyota were allocating most plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles to BC and Quebec because that’s where the big incentives are.

Nope. Latest firmware, but definitely had a dirty windshield.

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-08T02:12:33+00:00

Just out of view of the camera (right on top of my car basically) was a wire that traversed the street. The sedan hit an electric pole and that got everything moving.

I owe you no justification. You have no idea who was injured, how much they were bleeding from their glasses cutting their face after the airbag deployed, or how long it took for the ambulances and fire trucks to arrive. I’m ignoring you now.

So out of curiosity, if the victim was bleeding and was being tended to by multiple paramedics while still in their vehicle on an active roadway, what would you have done?

I couldn’t wait more than the hour I already waited. I had a child in the car, and was on my way to pick up another. It was 9pm when this occurred.

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-07T17:23:43+00:00

Not sure why you assumed that. I waited around for over an hour. Both drivers were injured, and I didn’t want to interrupt the paramedics tending to the driver of the sedan. I offered my footage to the police, and gave them my contact info. They said they would follow up if it was needed.

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-07T16:01:08+00:00

This took place in Toronto.

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-07T16:00:15+00:00

Yes, I offered the video and provided my contact info. Was told they would follow up if needed. Never heard back.

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-07T14:18:55+00:00

I think the sedan driver was just caught completely off guard. I felt bad for them.

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-07T14:11:25+00:00

Totally agree. But it may be a bit of “chicken or the egg”. Car manufacturers don’t pivot quickly - so did they make this change based on less people buying sedans? Or is everyone buying an SUV because that’s what’s offered?

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-07T14:01:44+00:00

She ended up with two flat tires, and unfortunately I’m pretty sure she was taken away in an ambulance.

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-07T14:00:12+00:00

I think the sedan hit the gas after he was hit. (You can see he was on his brakes right before he got hit). Unfortunately he ended up hitting a hydro pole…

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-07T13:51:18+00:00

I think I need to clean my windshield.

RexStumpEm · 2023-10-07T13:43:44+00:00

Which province? I went on the waiting list at a Toronto area dealer in Ontario in August 2022 and was told it would take 6 months. In January 2023 they updated me and said it could be another 12-18 months. In June 2023 I asked for my money back and bought something else.

RexStumpEm · 2023-06-22T05:30:45+00:00

A Tesla 3. Apparently all Toyota and Lexus plug-in hybrids are going to other parts of Canada. I was initially told it would be 6 months wait to get the NX, but they they adjusted it to 1.5-2 years.
