Revscene SpottedSpotted Revscene Members all across town
Did you happen to see a Revscene member or a car with a Revscene sticker on the road or somewhere? Or happen to see a car of interest that you'd like to share with pictures? Post it up here!

That's the LoV Performante demo. Probably driven by one of the SA's. The Performante spyder demo just landed so you'll probably see it around town.
Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering what that kind of car was doing in that part of Burnaby; seemed pretty far from home. By the way, what's an SA? Sales associate?

$100 cad a month INCLUDING INSURANCE? I'd say this is a pretty good deal. Looking forward to seeing this come to life, but not sharing the road with the bozos that drive them. A la car2go
can't wait to do 40kph in the bike lane in that...esp in the snow
edit: 65km range? seriously you gonna plug that in daily like a phone? can you at least bring a spare battery?
I just noticed that the Sick Cars thread reached page 888. I wonder if that's symbolic

Other transit systems like the TTC use dedicated locomotives for this purpose

Fun fact: TransLink does not directly operate or maintain the Canada Line unlike with SkyTrain. SNC-Lavalin is responsible for that.
If you want to learn more about how the Canada Line works:
Spoiler!
The Canada Line works under a public-private partnership (P3). Funding for the P3 is as such:
InTransitBC consortium: 35.1%
Federal: 21.9%
TransLink: 16.2%
YVR Airport Authority: 12.6%
Province: 12.3%
CoV: 1.46%
Miscellaneous: 0.34%
InTransitBC is a private consortium that makes up the "private" in the P3. Three parties have a 1/3 stake each:
SNC-Lavalin
The Caisse/CDPQ, which manages and invests public pension funds in Québec (like CPPIB but provincial)
bcIMC, which is just like the Caisse/CPPIB, but for BC
As part of the P3, TransLink signed a concession contract with InTransitBC. Construction would be contracted out to SNC-Lavalin, and day-to-day operations were conceded to ProTransBC which is an SNC subsidiary. However, TransLink would be responsible for overseeing the project, as well as setting and collecting fares, and setting operational guidelines for PTBC to follow. This was done through a new TransLink subsidiary called CLCO.
As a result, Canada Line employees, maintenance technicians, etc. are actually employed by SNC-Lavalin, not TransLink.
