If that's what you think, you need to come out to an HDR. We all have to get up in the morning and head off to work.
Well folks, what can I say except, I am so sorry. I think we will have to avoid the Lakeshore and the Gardener for the next couple of years. I mean really! Who the hell is the city controller that allowed the city to schedule all these roadworks to happen all at the same time? Just fu****g ridiculous.
If anyone hears me say, "Let's take the Lakeshore", just smack me in the head.
Good to see everyone out tonight. Was a great night for a cruise, and what a great bunch of people to hang out with. And good to see you again Steve (z06cab).
Hopefully see you all on Sunday.

Hey Vicky .. maybe my mess up of missing Bathurst Street worked out for us in the long run. The Monkey See Monkey Do theory didn't quite pan out for us, as I had Vicky and I over past Shaw Street. For whatever reason I thought we were on Front Street which dead ends at Bathurst. Must of been the thousands of cabs we got behind !!
Not to worry, we may have lucked out in the long run, I had no problem getting on the Gardiner Eastbound after getting back on Bathurst and I suspect Vicky was ok on the Gardiner Westbound after getting the traffic report from Stan.
Another Terrific Outing ... Never a Dull Moment as we all can attest to !!

No worries Mr Stan, You don't control the traffic, not your fault. But yes, we CAN NOT take that route home anymore, it's brutal, wanted to hang myself!
Walleyejack, I've been up for over 3 hours working already. Sleep is overrated. Wonder what 640 will be talking about today?!?

We'll get plenty of sleep once our time is up in this realm.

Bruce not your fault but was not smooth sailing for me!! I got onto Gardiner and it was a mess! OMG I was ready to jump over the bridge! Took over 45 min to get to Jamieson where I got out, went to King then north on Dufferin! Made it home by 1:30am!!!! Not going that route ever again, Yonge St is way faster!

Just saw on the news that there was some Caribana related stuff going on last night which probably partly explains the traffic snarls. I lost site of the lead group along King Street which got me into trouble and then to make things worse, I cruised right on by Bathurst Street .
Oh Well .. we all survived .. it adds character !! Maybe it's best to do a double run of Yonge Street with a side trip through Yorkville as Vicky alluded to.
Enjoy the Long Weekend for those we don't see on Sunday ....

With remarks like that this one and some you have made in the past, it comes across as if you are trying to guilt those of us that know your situation into giving you rides. I don't think that is your intention but that is how it reads on an online forum like this, and us drivers will be less inclined to offer you a ride.
Maybe if you ask if anyone going on this cruise is able to offer you a ride, people will be more receptive.
But please keep in mind, we are not driving SUV's so room for your chair(s) is an issue for a lot of us. Also, not everyone is coming from your neck of the woods, so getting to you and dropping you at home at the end of the night, may not be convenient.
Take my remarks as you will, but I am not being mean spirited or anything like that. Just commenting on how I think your comments appear to me and maybe others, online.
Stan.

Bill, I don't want to come across as a bad guy, but I'm just going to say it straight out.

Mr. Stan;
I read you loud and clear, but you've touched a raw nerve.
The fact is... that you guys seem to expect VETFEVER will get me to events; Jack can't right now.
I've asked for rides, but haven't had any luck in that department.
"we are not driving SUV's so room for your chair(s) is an issue for a lot of us"

My 1972 T-1000 folds up, and can easily fit in any C4, 5, 6... or (hopefully someday) 7.
Five Point Farms mentioned this.
I'm not trying to "guilt" any of you... But Bill looks forward to seeing/riding/meeting/being a part of our Corvette community/ so much all winter, that when he sees summer pizzing away... it upsets him.
I thought we were all about friendship, and helping each other out here. (?)
