[cliffhanger33]

sorry for my ignorance, but what is clai?

A middle to upper age woman of usually Chinese descent, who has several/all of the following distinctions from regular people:

1. Doesn't have a job, or works in some menial position like housekeeping. Husband brings home the dough.
2. Drives a BMW 7-series, X5, or Mercedes-Benz SL, GL, or ML. OR in this particular thread's case, a Lexus RX350 SUV
3. Drives 40 km/h down the road, even when everyone is going 60-70.
4. Wears full-length (extending up to elbow) driving gloves on both hands and a welding mask for the face, and for fear of getting skin spots.
http://www.goproductionsla.com/blog/images/asian_lady_visor2.jpg http://notsohumbleopinion.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/vader_visor.jpg
5. Puts the driver's seat in the farthest position forward, with the seatback vertical, and still doesn't use the seatback. (ie leans forward, so face is inches from the steering wheel)
6. Hits other cars when parking, and is completely oblivious that she just ran over the hood of the lowered Civic next to her parking spot. Also parks on the lines so that neighbouring drivers cannot even get into their cars.
7. Only goes between the supermarket, home, and the homes of other C-lais to play mah jong.
8. Never smiles, as that creates wrinkles.
I freaked out after seeing the C-lai in the SUV next to me and rear-ended the car in front.

That C-lai dinged my car! wtf

heard multiple stories about what happened. most have already been posted here, here's another (involves CL too)

apparently buyer met up with seller to buy an ipad. buyer paid seller money, left. seller tried to mug buyer to steal ipad back. buyer lost control of car

[Shorn]

its not a c-lai. i know him.
the ipad story is correct. he drove the car into the mall because he lost control when the buyer tried to rob him.

If this happened in the US, yes. :fullofwin:

seller tried to mug buyer to steal ipad back. buyer lost control of car
he lost control when the buyer tried to rob him.

So was the guy in the Lexus the buyer or seller?

^ buyer. bought the ipad. seller who sold him the ipad tried to mug him

[gilly]

Wow usually you hear about the seller getting mugged, not the buyer!

^ if that story is true... damn.... i always buy/sell stuff from craigslist

it's true apparently, shorn (who knows the buyer/owner of the RX) confirmed it

kinda scary to hear. even while taking precautions like meeting at the mall, shit still happens

[dachinesedude]

im siding with Shorn on this one

it makes more sense for the buyer to try to mug the seller, to get his money back

[- kT]

well it works both ways imo. not clear on the full story, but buyer mugging seller to get his money back, or seller mugging buyer to get product back (especially since it was an ipad) makes sense both ways

Im surprised no one posted a news link yet.

A couple who had knives held to their throat by robbers as they sat in their SUV Thursday night, smashed their vehicle through the glass doors at the No. 3 Road entrance to Lansdowne Centre, striking a woman and her young daughter as they ran away in horror at the approaching vehicle.

According to an eyewitness, the incident occurred shortly after 7 p.m. at the entrance next to No. 9 restaurant.

"All we heard was 'give us your money,'" the eyewitness wrote in an e-mail.

The robbers fled on foot, and the young child, as young as three or four years old, was uninjured but in a state of shock as her mother appeared to suffer a leg injury.

"The lady who was struck by the car was on the ground until the paramedics, cops and firefighters came. Thank God the child was fine, but she was in shock. It was craziness. I'm still shaky."

Richmond RCMP Insp. Janis Gray said police are continuing to put the puzzle pieces together about the robbery, and should have more information to release to the public early next week.

Kerry Shular, director of operations at Lansdowne, said the SUV plunged about three car lengths into the mall.

According to Shular, as the woman and young child were leaving the mall, they turned to run as they saw the vehicle approaching, and were unfortunately struck.

Shular believes the young girl wasn't injured, and the mother was injured, though she doesn't know the extent of the injuries.

"Our thoughts are with her and her family. We hope her injuries are minor and that she mends quickly."

a few pho places pop up. Gold Train, Kim Penh, Pho Hoa..

24/7 Thai at Oak + Broadway (though the food admittedly isn't that good)

For white food, Denny's is the obvious one..

There used to be a few places for oldschool wonton noodles scattered around Vancouver that closed as late as 5am(!) but I think they've all closed in the last year or so.. I don't know their names though, just their locations. Mostly in East Van.

If you go a bit earlier, many places close at 2am. Examples include Aji Taro and Neptune Wonton Noodle.

[dachinesedude]

no 9 is extremely popular with the after-club crowd, so your argument of going to restaurants that closes at 2am is irrelevant

i admit no 9 isnt really that great, but when your drunk, that shit taste gooooood, bbq duck lai fun ftw

[cliffhanger33]

Exactly^

Its the most popular place you hit up when you're completely done at 3-4am and need to munch out. Helps with the hangover too
IMO, the food's pretty good and good prices, although its on the oily side.

[Shorn]

he was with his girlfriend and yes the man in the rx was the one getting robbed. he lost control of his car and crashed into lansdowne while trying to prevent the robber from hurting his girlfriend and him. he was making the deal in his car.
the robber is now in custody.

oh and it wasn't an ipad, it was more than that.

This is awesome if the deal was for a few thousand dollars, but for an iPad, or something slightly more expensive, a tad too much. Next step up would be securing the car with a immobilzer and dropping ontop of the roof from a chopper, cutting a hole on the roof and flying off.
