Does Eddy Savoie have dementia? Is he making these commercials as a plea for help from inside the bowels of Clockzilla? Just... Just...

. I haven’t seen those ugly little forts for a long while. Clockzilla is appropriate because they sell those tents at Reno Depot. Those inflatable balloon men on the other hand are in front of every sleazy car dealership in the city

How about snouthouses with unidriveways and tempos?

Not in Canada but I found Russian Clockzilla.

It lacks the girth to truly beat Clockzilla.

True, although that giant clock is truly hilarious.

Uggh, I see.

Unidriveways are a metastasizing cancer that must be stopped.

isaidso · #**2098** Posted **Mar 4, 2019, 6:25 PM**

They look like Canadian versions of British row houses which also tend to have 100% concrete right up to the street. Georgian row houses can somewhat get away with it as the architecture is attractive. They also have sidewalks.

One issue that exacerbates the fugliness of unidriveways in Canada is that they are festooned with oversized pickup trucks.

That made me think of another ugly trend I’ve seen involving pickup trucks. Garages are no longer exclusively used to store vehicles it seems. So many houses I see now use their garage as a a hoarding zone and park their pickups, atv’s etc on the street or in their driveway. Then there’s the case of one of my neighours whose truck is so ginormous he can’t even close his garage door and has to leave it hanging outside.
