Already got a parking ticket because of the ****ed up street signs here! 
Driving in Montreal can be summed up in 3 points.
1) Run every yellow, hell run the late yellows/reds.
2) Drive 4 across on roads marked 3 lanes.
3) Park/Stop wherever you want. Double Park on the busiest road in town who cares, park inside intersections who cares. Park on driveways with your car halfway out in the street, who cares!
Side note: ****ed up parking laws, example: no parking on this street thursdays 8:30am to 9:30am. but across the street it might be mondays, its so dumb.
Also, way too many M3's M5's and M6's driving around here, also riced out Mazda 6's and I've never seen so many RX8's in my life LOL.

Just got back from the supposed "import" weekly meet at the orange julep. It was pathetic, I guess I'm done with car meets while I'm out here. 
There was a modded hyundai accent ffs, and some dodge charger on chrome rims with green neon flashing under his car to his music.

Montreal is COLD, I have no access to wash my car where I live, snow tires are mandatory dec 15-march 15, and the streets are in bad shape.
Having a lowered tuner in this city is pretty much useless.
Been here 5 months now, miss Vancouver everyday when I look outside at NOTHING, no mountains, no water!!! Don't take it for granted that you live in Vancouver!
Hopefully my project will be done this time next year and I can move back in the spring of 2010.

I know what you mean when you say " Don't take it for granted that you live in Vancouver" ~ I went on a road trip to Yellowstone park last summer and there's no trees and water on the way... just scourch heat - pure brutal
Then this summer, went to HK... I cant even see over 1km~ SMOG~ @@

U need block heater man. And get some 0w20 oil when u do your next oil change. Your car warm up faster using that in winter & lubricates better.
