Roads in Montreal are 100x worse. But you just have to be careful with potholes and such. Highways are definitely not as smooth, as well.

I even did the cottage trip once in my '88 Porsche 944 that I used to have. If a finicky, 30-year-old German sports car with 200k, a broken temp gauge, broken e-brake, bad 2nd gear synchro, and no A/C can make that trip with no issues, your nearly-new Japanese car should have no issue at all.

Keep in mind that I'm almost 6'6 as well, and I actually find this car to be quite comfortable on long trips, with a few stops to stretch out my legs of course.
On the weekend I made a spontaneous trip to Virginia no problem lol... Just have a quiet exhaust and the car eats up the miles nicely!

Even with a loud exhaust, it doesn't bother me LOL.

I guess I'm just used to it by now...

The tunnels on the 401 coming into Windsor are great for this too.

The Herb Gray Parkway is also a good spot for it too, as there are multiple tunnels.

I don't even wanna get started with that gym. 140 bucks a month, "But you get everything" yeah, whatever.

Edit: This is what Lifetime reminds me of

I am pretty happy with my membership to Life Time.

I make use of the gym, pool and rock climbing wall most.

Gym memberships are usually $45-55/month and none of the ones around where I live have a pool. If I wanted access to a pool, I would have to get a pool pass at my local community centre (which isn't open that late) for another $35/month. There are no rock climbing centres around my area, but the closest one to me charges $45/month for membership. So all three at best would be $125/month.

My Life Time membership is $110/mo. I see the value in it because I get all of those services, it's clean, doesn't smell, is huge so I can always find space, and the amenities/facilities are top notch. I'm going to spend that money anyways, might as well have it all under one roof.

Im being a ball breaker. If you use the amenities I'm sure it's worth it. I know people who just go there to lift then go home and claim it's worth it. Not my money

+1 on lifetime. Family membership is alright and just the fact it's clean is worth the money imo and there's a lot of space so you aren't bumping into people all the time and can pick an isolated spot to do your thing

That was me probably. I went to DVN Toyota for the annual rust proof respray Team PartOut is basically a bunch of 86 owners that started out on this forum after a go-kart event, we made Friday meets at Markham Chatime underground parking lot the last two winters. Simply just bunch of guys who enjoy the platform, we hang out often. Follow us on instagram #teampartout I run the instagram account but have been without a proper phone for two weeks, will get back to it soon
