#46926 of 48164 Real Questions by driver100 Oct 28, 2009 (4:03 am)
Remember, awhile ago we thought some questions were from Jaywalking. In 2010 Canada is hosting the Olympics, so these are questions asked on a tourism website (I only did the one's from the U.S.). Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? ( USA ) A: Depends on how much you've been drinking Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada ? ( USA ) A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe Ca-na-da is that big country to your North...oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Calgary Come naked. Q: Which direction is North in Canada ? ( USA ) A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions. Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Where can I sell it in Canada ? ( USA ) A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather Q: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada ? ( USA ) A: Only at Thanksgiving. Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada , but I forget its name. It's a kind of big horse with horns. ( USA ) A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking. Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? ( USA ) A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first. These are supposed to be true...the questions that is.

Replying to: fezo (Oct 27, 2009 6:10 pm) One of Dad's best friends owned a Plymouth store, so Dad, who in those days liked to trade every 2 years, drove a '58 Belvedere 2-door hardtop, a '60 & then a '62 wagon, & finally a '64 Fury convertible - all with pushbutton automatics. I learned to drive in the '64 Fury, which Dad traded for a '66 Chrysler Newport. One of our neighbors, seeing the new Chrysler in our driveway, rushed down to the dealership & snapped up the Fury, which he kept until 1980 or thereabouts.

Replying to: fezo (Oct 27, 2009 6:10 pm) I'm jealous. You had a 58 Plymouth. I loved driving that car, but unfortunately it needed a lot of repairs. I thought it handled really well, light steering, not like a slow duller feeling Ford, and what a feeling, having those big tall fins attached to the car. Felt like a jet pilot. Also, I loved those pushbuttons, felt so technologically advanced, instead of a crude gear shifter. How can a new Camry compare with that?

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Oct 26, 2009 3:17 pm) A Mercedes with 133K miles on it is shot in my book let alone a bare-bones Cavalier! Heck, one could probably buy a NEW bare-bones Cobalt for $9K! Is this Cavalier at one of those rip-off Buy Here Pay Here places that caters to those with extremely poor credit?

Replying to: corvette (Oct 27, 2009 6:21 pm) "...Is that the famous sludge-o-matic Chrysler V6..." No, this is the Mitsubishi 2.5L the same one that was in my 97' Cirrus. Extremely smooth running and robust. My younger son is currently trying to destroy that motor without success. The Chrysler 2.7L appeared in the redesigned Sebring for 2001. I had that motor in my Concorde and never had any problem although there were reports of sludging at the time.

Replying to: driver100 (Oct 28, 2009 4:03 am) "...Q: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada?..." Sure you do, but for some reason you folks show up about a month early looking for turkey.

Replying to: lemko (Oct 28, 2009 5:16 am) "...Is this Cavalier at one of those rip-off Buy Here Pay Here places..." No. it's at a big new car Chevy dealer. Maybe because it has manual shift they hope to sell to the racing crowd.
