06 Oct 08 Mercedes AMG SL63 Black Series spy shot at Nurburgring showing off impressive braking
Err, I think the pic attests to the power of the brakes 
(For the uninitiated, Nurburgring is a race track that is also officially part of the Autobahn (highway) network in Germany and is used by most manufacturers to test the limits of their new performance cars. It’s undeniably one of the most challenging and lengthy courses in the world.)
Who would have thought doing a motorcycle like stoppie in 4000+ lb car? Nice brakes. German, of course.

27 May 08 L’essence pour seulement $1.30 le litre / Gas for only $1.30 a litre - what a bargain!
Je me demandais pourquoi il y avait un grand fil d’attente pour faire le plein d’essence à cette station de ravitaillement Shell sur la rive-sud de Montréal hier soir quand le prix du litre était “seulement” $1.30 le litre.
J’ai pu avoir la réponse ce matin… $1.434 le litre, ca change pas le monde, sauf que…
Avec 3.78 litres par gallon US, ca fait environs $5.42 par gallon.

I was wondering why there was a line-up for getting fill-ups at this Shell filling station on the South Shore of Montreal when the price was “only” $1.30.
I got the answer this morning; $1.434 per litre, it doesn’t change anything except…
At 3.78 litres per US gallon, that converts to about $5.42 par gallon.

20 Mar 08 Snowmageddon 2008 : What does 31cm of snow driven by 133 km/h wind do to an engine bay?
Well, Saturday March 9th 2008 will be a night to remember … for once I think all the blizzard, snow hurricane and ice pellet typhoon were all justified.
The day after, I wondered why my wipers had stopped working … so I decided to pop the hood and take a closer look….
Hmm.
BTW, that was one of the first photos I took directly from my HTC Touch P3050 (HTC Vogue 100) smartphone’s 2 megapixel camera - with all standard settings.
