I was supposed to be driving to Cabot Trail this morning. However, I decided to extend my stay at the dorm room for an extra day so I can rest up, and better prepare my itinerary for tomorrow instead.
This morning, because I am a car guy, I decided to go to the Steele Wheels museum. It was interesting. It wasn’t exactly my type of scene. Probably more like Jay Leno’s type of cars, if you catch my drift. The presentation was amazing, everything was very clean.
This was the only Mercedes there.
This was the only reference to Subaru in the whole exhibit. No Subaru vehicles at all! Why even bother?
There were some cool cars that I really liked.
A proper 3 pedal DeLorean that is unmolested?! Seriously?
A retromodded Mystery Machine full of LED lights inside. It was fun to look at, but meh.
The most shameful one of all, is the George Barris (Original Batmobile fame) RX7 fake movie car for the Fast and Furious was on display! It actually looks worse in real person! I recognized the livery right away.
The car vinyl work was embarrassing in real life. Nothing looked right, and some of application looks crooked. I’ve seen my fair share of good vinyl work, and this ain’t it!
Seeing this really made me question the curator of this museum, and his/her credentials. I bet they intentionally squeezed this vehicle in between other vehicles so you can’t see the inside and scrutinize properly.
This description plate was so wrong after you watch the video above. This car was NOT in The Fast and The Furious, and Vin Diesel NEVER sat in this car. Who does this research?
Their food court was a lot of fun! If I wasn’t cooking in my car, I think I would’ve had lunch here.
After I went to a Value Village close by. Keyboards were on average about $10-15 each. Why even bother buying used at that point!? They’re delusional. I saw an old PATA hard drive with the words “BAD” prominently written on top. I didn’t bother to find out how much they wanted to charge for that! If I knew I could’ve sold bad hard drives like that, I would’ve been a millionaire many times over by now! I did find an official Cisco console cable for $3.99, which isn’t bad. Not great, but not bad either. It would’ve cost me more to make my own cable.
And they charged tax. hmm.
Right afterwards, I went downtown Halifax. I parallel parked on a steep downhill street. It was quite nerve wracking.
I walked towards the primary branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia, IN Nova Scotia. The friendly security guard told me I was welcome to take pictures inside, but to be respectful, since this is an active bank, and to respect the privacy of the patrons.
Since I still had some time from the paid street parking, I walked up the hill, and checked out the Halifax Citadel. Beautiful view, overlooking downtown from the top.
That pretty much concludes the final day of my stay in Halifax. I drove back to the dorm, and begin packing up. I passed by a Chinese grocery store, and picked up some frozen dim sum for lunch.
The next time I update this blog, I will most likely be on my way to the Cabot Trail.
