That's a nice ride. Love that it's a true 4WD. There's a few on the streets in Edmonton. At least being higher up it probably makes it easier to see over top of traffic from the right side

Funny they don't have any North American available cab-over vans anymore

I haven't run into any problems with the RHD. I rarely drive alone so I can always have my co-driver take a peek in a risky turn. The height is good but it I probably won't see over your average half ton.

There has been talk of Alberta and Manitoba cracking down on RHD but from the sounds of things there isn't too much credible basis for an outright ban. Or at least that's what those in the RHD community tell each other....

From what I understand cars already here will be grandfathered, so in the near to mid term you probably won't have much to worry about

Plus the government in AB has much bigger things to worry about right now so that is probably the least of their concerns

On (or off) the topic of RHD, here's my ride:

@Trans Canada- I see a few Delacia's here in Regina, and some with Alberta plates. Most are from BC. I know someone who has a Toyota High Ace. I've seen some Crowns, Honda Actys, and a lot of the Suzuki kei pickups.

I am likely to be picking up a stepside bed for the GMT400 pictured on page one of this thread. It's been on my to do list for many years...

This exact bed, in fact. The guy's parting out his truck (sadly, it's pretty much done by now, otherwise I might have considered saving it).

My little red baby again.

The parking lot was covered in snow when I arrived in the morning. I accidentally started this...

It's always so embarrassing when you park before the lines are visible... "The lines were covered in snow when I parked. I swear "

Picked up my 2015 Subaru Legacy a couple of weeks ago. Never had a Subaru before and I am loving it. Amazing ride up the Sea to Sky last week, that thing hugs the road.

My car is a 2013 Ford Fusion. It has the eco-boost 4cylinder.
I'm very happy with it and I get lots of complements about the look. Ford has really stepped up their game over the past few years.

Yeah Ford really knocked it out of the park with this generation of Fusion. From the sounds of things build quality is also very high, setting Ford apart from the other domestics.

Took my van camping into BC last week, to some natural hot springs about an hour from Invermere. Awesome spot, did a bit of a writeup here if anyone is interested: http://www.delica.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16648

I usually burned a car out in 5 years but this one I have had for 10 now.
Have a Mazda 6 and a CX7. will be replacing the 6 this year possibly. Auto Show is here next week. apparently we are looking for something Fun now. Something to put the bikes on and maybe a new boat on top if I get around to it. Also has to have all wheel drive. Hmmmm I think a Jag may fit.

My 2011 Mazda 3 GT. Just hit 63k, thanks to having lived 5 minutes from work for the last 8 months, and now working from home. There's a lot less miles to put on that way... Lovely car, though. Been nothing but reliable.



Google also randomly drove through my alley and managed a snap of her ass.
