For those of you who take highway 1 everyday through Burnaby I've a question for you.

Why does the Burnaby lake area become so congested in the morning/after work times, 6-7 4-6? It clears up once you pass that little stretch there.

Kensington turn off combined with two on ramps just further down, plus bend in road. Need longer merge lanes and people learning how to drive and staying awake. It's like 264th in Langley......... well just about any area with merge lanes.

Add to that, chicken shit drivers. Noobs who can't read traffic more than two cars in front of them.

The other thing I should mention is people don't like anything west of Kensington, so they try to get off at Gaglardi or Kensington and head to Lougheed. Some people take the Government Road route of even up to SFU to go Hastings. With First Avenue basically closed, traffic is a bit of a nightmare the closer you get to Grandview Hwy exit. First Avenue is not that bad, as long as you don't get there via the freeway. Single lane traffic, but people are avoiding it like the plague, which helps. After rush hour, I take 1st Avenue and it's fast. The other day, I saw cops setting up shop at the park between Renfrew and Nanaimo. It's so easy to speed like hell through that stretch. First Ave is open from Gilmore to Nanaimo (single lane both directions). Side roads are an alternative. Right now, Broadway is almost as messed up as Grandview Hwy. I take Parker to Boundary then to First Avenue to Nanaimo, then north to Pender. Come out onto Hastings after the clusterfuck at Nanaimo.


Construction along Lougheed between Alpha? and Gilmore is nuts with ongoing construction, although it's hit and miss. Never know when they narrow shit down to one lane at Willingdon.


I love driving on Commercial now that nobody turns left or right at First Avenue.

Polynesian Days at Uwajimaya in Beaverton, OR and Renton, WA on August 18th and 19th. I missed it last year due to the total eclipse of the Sun. Not gonna miss it two years in a row.

For anyone who's into Polynesian culture.

Johnny Manziel had a great debut with the Alouettes against his old team, Hamilton.

At this stage, based on the state of the investigation, which is led by the Toronto police service, there is no connection between that individual and national security," Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said.

But a law enforcement source told CBS News that Faisal Hussain visited Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) websites and may have expressed support for the terrorist group. They were looking into whether Hussain may have lived at one time in Afghanistan and possibly Pakistan, the source said.
There is no indication that Hussain was directed by ISIS to carry out the attack.
Yup. Nothing to see here. Just an expedient and well prepared mental illness..

In September 2017 — after Farhad overdosed and left the home — firefighters responded to a carbon monoxide call at the same home and noticed a suspicious substance in the basement.

Durham Regional Police later obtained a search warrant and found 33 firearms, ammunition and more than 40 kilograms of the potentially lethal drug carfentanil.

In court documents, the street value of the drugs is estimated to be as much as $20 million.
40 kilos of carfentanyl. Which is about 100x stronger than fentanyl. 40 kilos..

Are Nismo LMGT wheels considered factory wheels?

If so, I assume I can't use aftermarket lugs on them, and have to use factory lugs??

Thanks in advance

What exactly are they getting at with this, people going to websites doesn't mean they're actually connected to anything.

It doesn't. But visiting the websites, briefly living in Afghanistan or Pakistan recently, and his brother possessing enough carfentanyl to wipe out a province sure does sound suspicious.
Like more than just a simple mental illness.

Video is just annoying. He called her brown entitled person and a bitch for cutting him off. Her crappy driving probably resulted to him venting.
