But the US women don't remove their panties.....

We get more bang for the buck up here.....(pun intended)!

 

I believe thats only in California! They take it all off in FL.

 

Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I experienced the CNE. Ok, ya I only live an hour away but its never been a real priority for me and I've only lived out here for about 10 years. Wow now that I think about it the time goes by!

While buying some dinner from one of the 100s of food places in the Food Building at the CNE grounds, I read one of few posted signs from the Toronto Board of Health inspection, indicating a "PASS". As I looked around, I didn't see any places with food handlers wearing hairnets or gloves. Is that not important anymore for food handlers or just a CNE thing because its so much activity and chaos that if one is not meeting standards so no one will would the inspectors actually shut down a whole building. Its kind of scary after all Toronto has been through over the past few years.

On a side note, any cardio-vascular doctors out there would be very grateful for a place like that keeps them employed for sure!

Any cool "pastry" or dessert places in downtown open late on Sunday nights (ie. 7-10PM)?

 

I deleted Steve's thread for obvious reasons. It will simply get ugly. Steve, good luck with the new place. The pics look great. If it were up to me i'd let you promote it but I cannot unfortunatly. I think i've been more than fair with a few of the people "in the business" here in our section. I've let alot of freebies go by.

So for the few that were quik to hit the complaint button. Take it easy.

For the record, I do have a life!

Rant off

 

Vasco....do you need a hug?

 

from you? Yes

You are telling me. You should access my PM box and read. It would make "The Hills" TV series go bankrupt.

 

Crazy!

Speaking of good places to eat in Montreal, right under my apartment building theres 2 nice places that are always packed with Ferraris and other exotics (corner Mackay & Sherbrooke downtown Montreal). The first one is Bice which is probably the most expensive italian restaurant in Montreal. They have Ferrari gatherings there at least once a year. And there is a nice desert place called Nocochi with rather upscale clientel, Quatroportes and 612 are not uncommon there.

I'll try to find some pics i'va taken at those places and post them here.

 

Post them in the Quebec thread We would love to see them.

 

Will do!

So today I'm in a very successful mood and absolutely must boast about my accomplishments to fellow automotive enthusiasts.

As very few of you know I am currently in the Business Administration - Automotive Marketing course at Georgian College, Barrie Campus. With an endless passion for cars and skills in the appropriate area's I entered the auto industry for the first time this summer with the Pfaff Porsche dealership. That term has officially wrapped up my first year of studies, which includes 2 school semesters and 1 work semester.

I must say my parents are ecstatic and I personally feel satisfied about my first year;
- 1st year combined average of 85.7%
- Dean's Honour List for Fall 2008 Semester
- Dean's Honour List for Winter 2009 Semester
- Successful Co-op term
- Recipient of the Central Ontario GM Dealers Association Award
- Recipient of the Leggat Auto Group Award

Just after the award ceremony, which is likely why I feel so enthusiastic, I took no break as I am studying away for my 3rd school semester. My hopes is that no one takes offense to a little pride but takes it in a positive way. I also hope that my strong credentials will allow me to meet with some more gentlemen from this site for school assignments.

That being said I would like to publicly thank Vasco for his help in my Career Report(Final report). The assignment with the help of Vasco and his valuable time was well used and resulted in a mark of 92%. Still can't thank you enough it was great meeting you and doing some car chat!

To everyone else, thank you for your time and hope all is well. From your long time member yet little poster,

Tamas Keszeg

 

Awesome, man! I'm in 3rd year at the University of Toronto studying a double major in Poli Sci and Forensic Sci... I'm pretty happy with my grades so far too!

Cheers.

 

Sci was always one of my least enjoyed items, not sure how well I would do in that course! Sounds like an interesting course though and I've heard nothing but good things about U of T.

 

Thomas, it was totally my pleasure. I didnt think my small biz and I could help you much. I really wish I could've helped more. I am very happy you got a 92% That's awesome. God knows I never got those kinda marks!

All the best to you bud! Your passion is truly impressive. If there is anything else you know who to call.

 

Hey Tom, well said. I love to see that passion. I feel a rush of the CAI pride reading this post. Brings me back to those days.

Keep your sights and your vision high.

Remember to drop by when you are in the area of 26 McEwan West #2.

Chris

 

I won't be home for awhile but I will drop by when I'm available.

 

Congrats Tamas.
Georgian is a great school and you are in a wonderful program. I live beside Georgian College and two of my four kids have gone there and both got terrific challenging jobs as a result of hard work and good work ethic.

You should be proud!!

Why am I seeing this picture just now??

 

Vasco, all the information you provided was spot on with what the assignment has asked for. Thus providing vital information and in conjunction with facts, stats, charts, and my knack for putting it all together in a fancy way it resulted in a superb final report.

Thanks again big V!

 

Well, glad to here dude. Once again....all the best!

 

Can anyone in the GTA explain why gas prices are dirt cheap along St. Clair road?

Driving home last nite, I noticed Petro Canada, Shell, and another listed at $87.9 cents!!!

(Self serve)....when many other stations are listed at $91.5 etc....Thats a savings of almost .05 cents a litre! I can't understand how this is possible?
