Didnt see this posted anywhere else here, but excuse me if it is a repost.

This happened just North of Toronto. Crazy that something so simple as refilling the car could end up in a million dollar mistake. I guess that is why %99.999 percent of the cars on the market today have their exhaust pipes coming out the rear of the car LOL

such a bummer

guy whose car it is is quite a character. Not sure what the article said about him.

Google ‘wekerle erratic’ lol

Wasn’t that one of the sharks car on shark tank?

#4

you’re confusing shark tank with the show it copied, the canadian dragon’s den. In fact 40% of the ‘Sharks’ are Canadian dragons (O’Leary and Herjavic)

which in itself was a spin-off of the original UK dragon’s den (but is quite different)

Such a sad sight. Guess they will be moving the exhausts lower pretty soon…

#6

Sometimes I wonder what it is that you don’t know…

#7

Oh don’t be dazzled. I just know a little bit about other countries. It’s a everywhere-but-america thing.

I would like to make sure to highlight the point that both the us and Canada copied Europe. Just like with top gear and the office.
