I never really stopped to consider California like that. Looks like someone stepped on it. Someone big.

Some of the best skiing in the world is in CA.

I miss the days of surfing in the morning then snowboarding in the afternoon.

Plommay! If oil prices keep dipping Quebec is going to end up sending transfer payments to Alberta. That be would be times 1,000,000.

Common!

 

[FairWarning]

How much is gas/litre in Toronto?

 

[Matty]

I saw 98.9 while Christmas-shopping today. That's about 35 cents cheaper than it was in the summer.

 

[FairWarning]

still pretty expensive there.

 

[Matty]

Well, yeah. It'll always be significantly more expensive here, we tax it a lot more.

37.4 cents tax per gallon in Michigan

1 dollor and 5 cents in Ontario

 

[FairWarning]

That's some serious taxes in Vancouver and Montreal.

thats why Matty rides a moped see

My bike uses more gas than modern compact cars.

I've been driving a Nissan Micra the last two days, that thing embarrasses my bike fuel-wise.

 

[reno cool]

you crazy foker.
Matty I'm just about to get my hands on a bottle of Xtra Rare. I suggest you try one since you like to blow money.

smooooth!

 

[Mudcat]

I had a Nissan Micra at one time. My third car maybe?

Datsun B210
Nissan Pulsar
Nissan Micra

I think is how that went.

Is my contribution to this discussion.

 

[Matty]

reno, I don't see myself buying that. Canadian whisky is a cheaply-made thing, it shouldn't cost more than 25-30 bucks.

I'm a discriminate spender.

Not really.

Just bought a half-bottle of local moonshine for my brother, it's supposed to be decent.

 

[reno cool]

but its extra foken rare pal $100

it is amazingly smooth
