 P.S. Starting tonight the Annual Calgary Int Auto & Truck Show starts at the Round Up Centre.  Best place to be able to see and sit in 400 new cars.  I go every year just for the heck-of-it, but i'm a pretty big car nut...

 Completely agree, the platform is awesome. I don't hate cars based on company headquarters location, I hate bad cars. I can name a crappy car made by most of the major automanufactures, and most of them have very good models available as well.
