Love, Peace and Happiness. Part Four.

This is the last part of Tim's collection. To be honest, after posting all 80 photos, I feel like arranging these posts in a different way. I will try to add description to each car and almost every photo for this event. Though it should wait until I get back from the pickup trucks land.

Mr. and Mrs. Hapi Hipi 

Love, Peace and Happiness. Part Three

Here I will include only photos. Though, it is not the last post about this great facility.
By the way, is there a need for naming all those cars?

Love, Peace and Happiness. Part Two

This part was written by my daughter Alison (yes, I have a daughter and she is a car addict as her mom). I highly recommend reading this part, because it describes our experience in a much better way. And, obviously, tons of photos included. At least two more parts are coming up. Stay tuned and enjoy the Horse Power Heaven!

Love, Peace and Happiness

When you have a real hobby, you start to recognize people who have a similar interest: see familiar faces on the skiing slopes, make friends at the dog shows, get familiar with suppliers of gear for your hobby, etc. Even though we have dozens of clubs, events and types of car related stuff , after a few car shows you will recognize, first of all, cars, but second, people with those cars.
I heard of The Hapy Hipi from the Grand Touring dealership. The rainbow coloured Lamborghini Aventador left me speechless for a good minute! Though, the owner wasn't there, as well as myself having absolutely different business at the dealership that time, I really wanted to take photos of that car and share with you, but I prefer to be respectful to the owner. (you will see the Aventador in the next post, I promise ;)) After that I did a bit of research about Tim and found an advertisement of the charity event at his property. For a few years Tim and his beautiful wife are organizing an open house to collect support for the local Humane Society. Last year 30 000 CAD were collected for a non-killing dog shelter in Alliston, ON. Did I wish to attend the event this year? Definitely, yes!

About luxury lifestyle

This week I went for lunch with my colleagues and we spoke about cars. We have many students working summer jobs or internships this time of year. One of the students mentioned that she is dreaming of getting a purple Lamborghini (Model? Latest model, definitely! Just make it purple, please). The older folks were making fun of her since we are driving Corollas, Civics and Elantras nowadays.
Yesterday we were out for lunch again and another boy, young developer from India, said that he hadn't seen a Bentley or Aston Martin in Canada yet.
So today I had to drop my Mudpuppy for service at the dealership. While mechanics were doing maintenance on my car, we decided to walk around. And guess what? Just on the opposite side of the street there was a Grand Touring Automobiles store. Could we skip the opportunity to visit it? Never!
Especially when they had a purple Lamborghini and black, white, brown (sunset orange), and red Aston Martins right at the window.

Let's go shopping?

Housewife's Car Review: 2017 Cadillac CTS 2.0T

I have a hobby. I volunteer as a bird watcher at the BioBlitz events at our region. Since the BioBlitz is an event that happens at the natural habitat of animals or plants, usually it’s organized in areas without public transit. Think about it – why would you build a bus route through the forest?

Therefore, to get to those events I usually rent a car. My request for a Hyundai Elantra ended up being the Cadillac CTS 2.0T, which was not a big surprise after the BMW, but definitely not the best choice for our situation.

Housewife's Car Review: 2009 Acura CSX

Continuing with our luxury edition, today I will talk about the 2009 Acura CSX.

The Acura CSX is the youngest brother in the Acura family, which was created to replace Acura 1.7 EL. Actually, 1.7 was a great car, and I still see them on the road.  CSX stands for Compact Sportscar Experimental.  It’s a dark horse on a road. It looks exactly like the Honda Civic (ha, it’s called Honda Civic in the Japanese internal market), but it has a great Acura 2.0 L engine. Originally this model was designed specifically for the Canadian market. Not sure if I ever encountered it in other countries, but it is pretty common in our area. Even though Acura CSX was a bestseller for a few years, the model got discontinued in 2011 and was replaced with the ILX edition. 

Housewife's Car Review: 2016 BMW 528i xDrive

One sunny day I came for my “compact sedan” and the boys from Enterprise gave me a bit of a different car. They didn’t have anything left but a pearl white 2016 BMW 528i xDrive. “Sorry, but we can only give you a luxury car.”
