Flex is just bitter that he still lives in the Gulag, has to learn to speak Punjab, and has to use ramps to drive into the garage of his million-dollar house.

But his home gym is, admittedly, awesome.

Now, has anybody seen Big Bob?

At least the last one would make sense.

"Can I have a Canada Dry?"

"Sure, what kind?"

"Dr Pepper, please."
Certainly in Germany they use "the" when they talk about the M's and A's.

The 400 series highways we do.

And certain notable roads too.

The Danforth, The Dundas, The Queensway, etc.

I openly admit to some home gym jealousy about Meathead's workout space. Hopefully later this year, I'll clear some more space, get a little more equipment, and catch up a little, but I have a long way to go!

I was leaning towards those for mine a couple weeks ago, but I'm afraid they are too much like chrome.
Which kills it for me.

Only being able to see pics online has made it tough to make a decision.

I'll take powder coat over paint or any kind of chrome any day. It's sooooo much easier to keep clean.

I remember 30+ years ago driving from Montreal to Toronto.
The longest two hours in traffic I spent in my life was around downtown Toronto, what a shitshow, I think at the time it already had 16 lanes and at least two perimeter lanes.
Thankful for the 12-pack of Labatts we had in the cooler,,,

I knew babes in Kitchener and Hespeler back in the day.
Spent some time in Brantford, tired of hearing about Gretzky, hugearse Massey Ferguson plant.

Spaceballs is always better when drunk,,,

I'm leaning towards the anthracite finish at this point.
I am allergic to chrome.
