This made me laugh out loud to the point I finally actually supported Beaverton financially. I don’t ever want to lose Canadian satire.

The Onion on point as ever; I actually thought this was not only plausible but actually happening. For a moment, until I noticed the address.

Its not a status symbol its a low to mid range car.
