I love watching RX8's G35's and S2K's trying to go anywhere when it snows, yet go nowhere and giving the most dissatisfied look and wondering how 200hp can get you nowhere so fast.

...then i roll on by all of 'em in my fit :D

1. city driving doesn't need 200hp to get anywhere fast. With the speed limit at 50kmp, cars with 100hp will get to a place at the same time as a car with 200+hp.

2. those ppl who can afford $50k RWD cars should really buy themselves some snow tires from Canadian Tire or wherever. -____-

I saw this one too. Taxi was heading down south on Granville, probably lost control and hit the pole. There were police already when I passed by.

yup.. i saw it happen!!!

it was like GTA.... the guy in the truck drove it like he stole it.

running 2 reds, amost hit a pedestrian, then swerved and crashed into some innocent drivers. Crazy thing is he fled the scene. I wouldn't chase him b/c his Truck was raised + big tires. My car is would be his bait.

Someone crashed into the back of my car also.

He even blamed on me for braking too hard so that they had no choice but to crash into me.

bald tires, soft brakes, and wet leaves

Honda Accord on Kingsway near Joyce this past week (heavy rain), 90deg to the road, front right smashed (looked like side impact?), fender completely gone, front right wheel ripped out, lying on road. That one took skill.

I only saw 1 accident this weekend. The drivers must be good in my area :lol

Taxi drivers are douchebag drivers in general. Not only do they suck @ driving, they drive pretty aggressively as well. :swear:

I saw a 300C yesterday on Knight St that had ended up on somebody's lawn, destroying the house owner's fence. This was near Kingsway.
