supafamous, I think I saw you/your car at the sushi place on Boundary a few months ago. I recognized the red Acura with bronze wheels. Coincidentally I'm trying to plan a family trip to Anaheim right now
If it was Kimu around lunch time then it was probably me.

What I've learned so far on my trip is that Yelp reviews for Mexican places are way too high. Too many tourists who have never eaten real Mexican food getting excited over half assed shit and handing out 5/5s on Yelp.

If you are going to LA, try brothers cousins tacos. Its street food but so good and there's always a 40min lineup

Good lord. I hope nobody was hurt.

Hope this isn't a write-off. Other than the obvious that the tree fell over, any idea what caused it?

They look great. They look so svelte for having e-assist. Most of the e-bikes are so bulky and ugly.

We can blame the wind from last night. Tree just yeeted and toppled over.
Found frame damage on the roof and on the a-pillar. A cursory search tells me that frame-damage = write-off? I'd be really sad to see this one go if so. Have never been in a "wreck" before. Whats the process typically look like?

Icbc or body shop assesses damage and comes up with cost to repair.
Icbc decides repair or write off.
You wait and get a fixed car after paying comprehensive deductible or icbc says write off and you fight icbc for what the car is worth. After its settled, you sign the title over to them.

Bianchi + getting it for a steal = this is when you know you are a baller

Both his Bianchis are easily worth more than my Boxster

P.S. - I cycle, so this to me is eye candy.

Yesterday's rental car was the Q3 - no Defender on the lot and my choices were an A4 or Q3 and I heard the Q3 was a mixed bag and wanted to find out if it was true.

It was TRUE. What a turd of a car especially considering its roots as an A3/Golf. Not sure why anyone buys it over a CX-5 Turbo ($5-10k less). Cheap materials, not great suspension tuning, terrible steering, drivetrain was out of sync with each other.

I rent one more time on Saturday and I hope I don't get the Q3 again. Gonna see if I can go down swinging with the best ride on their lot.

Test drove one with a buddy and he immediately bought the CX-5 Turbo after.
Words cannot express how much worse this is than even the base model golf

Your legs are going 100RPM, anything more comfy is 10x less comfy after 5 minutes. Lol. Your ass morphs into it after a few rides. lol.
