toronto wake up call :eeps:

[stewthebassman]

Ever notice how other drivers are real pricks to you in Toronto if you're driving a BMW?

Hello! One more here...

[stewthebassman]

This will become a cultish, underground alternative gothic Canadian thread that no one, not even the Moderators, will bother to read.

Happy St. Jean Baptiste y'all.

Sept?

Ever notice how other drivers are real pricks to you in Toronto if you're driving a BMW?I always thought they reserved it for us BMW drivers with US plates ;)

(Though I live in the US, I spend a lot of time in Eastern Canada. :hi: )

[stewthebassman]

Correct. My dealer said they'll take orders in Sept for October delivery. So I have two months to get off lease and choose a color...

Yeah, in Montreal a Bimmer is just another car...in TO it seems that people treat you differently (worse).

Maybe it was our Quebec plate in TO???

[gojira-san]

Maybe it was our Quebec plate in TO???Who knows? I can't believe there is that much BMW envy in the GTA... :rofl:

But speaking of Quebec plates, a funny story. I lived in Montreal for a little while around 1980 (not far from Dorval, er Trudeau Airport ;) ) I made a trip down to metro NY in my car with the Quebec plates to visit family. When I got to Long Island I stopped for gas. The guy comes out to get the money, and is talking to me really loudly and slowly. When I replied to him, he looked shocked. He said, "oh I saw the plates and thought you didn't speak English." I said, "Since I grew up here on Long Island, most Canadians don't think I speak English either." ;) :D

[stewthebassman]

That is funny. When I lived in North Carolina it took me a while to learn their brand of English too! Even New Hamp-shuh has its own english. I lived in Hanover for 3 years from 82 'til '85.

I'm ok. May be because you drive too aggressive?

[stewthebassman]

Just wondering...no I drive okay. While I was in Toronto I had the Automatic Rev Limiter in the passenger seat next to me the whole time, and my kids in the back!!

[gojira-san]

While I was in Toronto I had the Automatic Rev Limiter in the passenger seat next to me the whole time, and my kids in the back!!Oh you have that too? :rofl: Luckily in the 3er or the 5er, 80mph/130kph is smooth enough that they don't usually notice. My daughter will occasionally chime in from the back seat how fast I am going. :p

I don't remember ever going that fast in the GTA though - too much traffic. I have done those speeds just outside the Montreal area and still couldn't keep up with the traffic! ;) :rofl:

[ic]

Haha...I've that too. As E90's engine is quieter, you can rev to 5k rpm without notice. Is it good to make the engine quieter? :rolleyes:

gojira-san, At what time you drove in Toronto? It should be fine to drive between 140km/h to 160km/h out of "go to work" and "back to home" hours if you don't mind in the risk of a speeding ticket.

What is this thread all aboot, eh?

Nothing special, general chat between members in eastern Canada...

Unfortunately I always seem to be passing through the GTA during commute times. :p

I won't be going through there any time soon, but I will be in the Niagara on the Lake area to (drink and ) buy wine from the region in August. We've met a lot of great people in that area over the years, so it has become quite a social event too :) When I drive there, I am coming from the NY Thruway through Buffalo, which has it's own traffic problems! :)
