Default got nailed by a bus

some of you may remember the big pink truck that i used for my Coolcarscruising4cancer. Well it was a loaner vehicle that my good buddy at Shaganappi Motors here in Calgary lent me for 3 months on an extended test drive. It was a 2008 fully loaded truck list $78k, well it was due back today so we removed all the pink vinyl and i had it sitting in front of my house. Some moron in a city bus decided that the bus stop that is at the end of the block needs to be moved, and my truck was in the way





i was taking it back this morning and picking up a new Equinox LT as a cheap runabout - now i have to deal with this

Thank your lucky stars that it was not the Vette. Sad regardless.

Shag was great about it - it wasn't my fault so they said no worries!

Holy crap Steve! Good to hear Shag will still do the truck next year. I agree we need the big pink truck. I just bought 2 trucks from them so that will help them out


Hey Howard,

I think we were in the same line at cool cars
There was a grey C5 behind you then my RF Z06, My dad's Red TR6, Don's black C5, Tony's Camero etc.

Have I got that right?

That's sad to see,however,there is a reason they have to drive a bus for a living...Chances are they weren't refused a scholarship or Formula 1 contract because they were over qualified...

Correct!
I was behind a black V8 Volvo with the grey C5 behind me

Ah there's my white Z, I thought that was you!

Nice Car Howard!

Funny though, I don't remember the Volvo, is that a real car

The grey C5 was Murray and his wife, very nice people my son & I just met that day.

Hey Bill that Volvo will give you a run for your money its got a built Ford Racing 350 in it - and it moves very very very quickly - boxy but fast

I hope to have the website updated next week
