Yes , this is Vancouver ...................right on the Pacific Ocean , and while Palms are not indigenous they will grow here and several are planted close to the ocean .Im guess that's not Canadia, palm trees don't grow there....do they? If so global warming
My wife, an LA beach girl, said, "No way" to the palms being in Vancouver. And I, a Rocky Mountain High boy, said, "Yes there are." So, I get to be right this time!
It is...I was just wondering why he'd post a photo of someone else's car.
Otherwise, I'd be enjoying coastal palm trees too, with my Stinger, as a resident instead of a future visitor.
Hey Guys everyone is welcome to come and visit , I have a couple of VRBO houses with killer views of the Ocean and mountains and Whistler is a quick 1.25 hr drive on one of the best driving roads in North America , Y'all come visit now !!!A bit of background on the Vancouver palms. Much as we like to kid our left coast denizens, Vancouver is a beautiful city - and a trip over the Rocky Mountains for an occasional visit is a great excuse to put the Stinger in road trip mode ...
Vancouver Palm Trees Are Real, And They're Spectacular
Gee Merlin you need to go on a quiz show. LolOn Vancouver:
Mormons in the late 1850s nearly upped stakes and moved to Vancouver Island. This was when Johnston's Army came into the Valley; the "Saints" had moved south to Happy Valley (current Utah County), and left enough men and boys to light the entire SLC area on fire if the Feds tried any heavy handed stuff. Johnston moved his army right through and camped south of the Oquirrh Mountains (Camp Floyd). By then, the Mormons had adjusted to the standoff, which lasted right through the Civil War, as the Mormons waited for the Government to destroy itself and bring on the Millennium (preparing, themselves, to return to Jackson County Missouri, their "promised land"). It never fell out that way; the Mormons slowly lost their popular Millenarian mindset and settled wholly onto the land hereabouts. And Vancouver remained free of the Mormons!
Im nearly there one more plane to catch. I told you im coming to get you.

She's heading to a church thing with my daughter, while my son and I are heading to his soccer tourney game in her Sorento. The area where his game is at has been flooded, and it rained alot last night (again), so didn't want to have to drive my Stinger off-road two days in a row. 
This is why I am thinking "Telluride"!... For those occasions when off-road is inevitable (and during real shitty days in winter).
You better sign up for the Telly Forum ......................?????
I'm still thinking. It took me c. six months of thinking before I got the Stinger. I've just started thinking about the Telly (there, I will persona non grata "over there"; I'll wait …
)
OK , but there are a few of us there already .................just sayinI'm still thinking. It took me c. six months of thinking before I got the Stinger. I've just started thinking about the Telly (there, I will persona non grata "over there"; I'll wait …
hahahahaha , not that Telly
You must feel immortal or something.
There was no way that, after that test drive, I was going to wait until safely out of "first year model" phase. The car was more than good enough already. And I believed the hype in that Stinger promo book. So I dove in. It didn't take me any time at all. Waiting is what I won't do anymore.
