Very random, but I am bored and I don't really have the energy to start packing my stuff for the big move next week (more on that later....[8D] And if you already know where I am going, please don't say where as I am going to make a guessing game out of my trip), so here is a random drive to Toronto that I did yesterday;

Image
Starting out in my town. Can anyone name which Chris Farley movie this gas station was in?

Image
The new hospital expansion (which they ran out of money for halfway through construction 2 years ago!!).

Image
highway..traffic looks decent so far

Image
Getting closer...

Image
Yay, bmw m3

Image
omfg, round the turn and its nothing but gridlock

Image
Though, it wasn't the worst traffic I've seen in Toronto. Some days you can put your car into park and turn it off for 10 minutes before moving again.

Image

Image
It doesn't really look like there is a big city in this picture.

Image
The suicide bridge. All those things on the edge at the top are to top idiots from jumping off into the valley below.

Image
Thar she blows!!

Image

Image
Not sure what this building is for.

Image
NEVER take your girlfriend here, unless you really want your wallet to be emptied before you can utter "WTF shopping blows!"

Image

Image
Shortly after taking this picture, some dude ran out in front of my car and yelled "Jesus has saved me once again!" I wonder what he would have said if I made him my new hood ornament.

Image
The leaning tower of Torontonia.

Image
w00t, hockey!

Image
Can you count how many windows are in this picture?

Image
This hotel is too good for my business.

Image
If you look closely you can see a bunch of poop hawks swooping in for a meal from the vending trucks!

Image
streetcar

Image
A big BMW dealership

Image
This guys car is worth 5 times more than mine. Want to swap rides?

Ah crap...my camera just erased the rest of the pictures, no pictures of the horrendous traffic on the way home. :evil:
Oh well, that was my really random drive to Toronto. Enjoy!

Woot! I must say the CLS is one of the sexiest sedans I've ever seen (bit of an oxymoron though). So yea, around where I live, people (the one's who can afford them) go for the semi-exotics, so I see wayyy to many SLK's being driven by people who think they know how to handle high-preformance cars (while they probably got the damn thing in an automatic) instead of Beamer beauties or some real Mercedes.

You have guards to stop people jumping off the bridge! Thats well better than here. I live right near the humber bridge (which my dads company built [:D]) and its absolutely massive:

Image

We always get people jumping off [:(] Not just adults either, like a few months ago, a woman jumped off with her kid! [:(] Why dont we have stuff like that? [:(]

Ha, yea i think thats probably true...when i went up there on the march break with my family, i pushed my sis onto it and she freaked out. Some people wouldn't even go near it, and when they did, they would like crawl on the floor[lol]

The best thing to do is when you see someone go on it who obvious hates it, is to go running past them stomping on the glass.

I actually just got home from a small vacation to Canada. But we went to Niagara Falls, not Toronto. It was a chance for GREAT pictures...including from the top of the Skylon Tower!

I absolutely LOVE Canada! I would live there if I could, cause its great.

^[lol] It is a great view though. I just wish they would clean the underside more, of which I still have a hard time figuring out how it gets so dirty in the first place.

Actually, the one thing that really did freak me out was that: on windy days, realative to only the main pod thingy, the space (top) pod will shift up to three feet to either side, and the elevators would get stuck utill the wind died down[xx(].

The Cn tower its not that freaky, i went there like 4 years ago with my skool, and it was so much fun walking on the glass floor and you have to chew gun wen your in the elevator cause your ears pops, and that eaton center its verry expensive that where you find the hockey all of fame.

well that was a nice trip with the skool that we did, and the other day we went to PCW, woot!!.
