For this late entry, I'll be
discussing the videos that I uploaded 3 days
ago: Touring
Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate Institute [Exterior],
Charlottetown
Park & School,
Pickeringian
Chrysler Dealership [Jokesler]
and Pickeringian
Ford and Lincoln [Immaturity].
Let's get to it!
I wanted to film another high
school and add my commentary this time, so I chose Oliver Mowat. Why
this place? Because I was walking around the Port Union area, so it
made sense to check it out while I was there. As you can tell from
the video, I wasn't overly enthusiastic about it because the
building's looks and grounds did not have anything special going for
them. I don't know
what this school is about or what the theme is, but I can tell you
that according to the Google reviews, it's a bummy, miserable place
to be. Then again, a lot of schools tend to have bad reviews even
when they're actually decent, so it's hard to tell if the complaints
are legit or not, so I can't comment on how good or bad Olive Mowat
really is. Only an honest person seeing the video would be able to
tell you the real story.
Despite the relatively boring appearance it was still an alright
place visit, and because it had two parks behind it, this gave me an
opportunity to shoot another video in the area: Charlottetown! No,
not the city in Prince Edward Island.
After
leaving the Oliver
Mowat grounds, I headed over to the park across the street behind it.
There were
lots of kids and people playing around, but I also saw another park a
little further up, and that's where I discovered that it was
Charlottetown. Prior filming the video, I walked around the entrance
of it briefly to decide if really wanted to film it or not. I then
went back to the sign, gave it a few more minutes to make the
decision, and then I rolled the camera! The tall hill with trees on
it was one of the reasons why I decided to go ahead and do this,
because I wanted to see what was behind that hill and get a better
view of the area. I made my
way up the hill, looked around and didn't see much exciting things,
so I eventually went down to the
area
near the public school. I wasn't sure if I wanted to actually film
that place, but at the same time I didn't want to put the camera down
just yet. I
also
didn't want to go back to the park that didn't have much to really
see or do either.
Before you know it, I started wondering around the public school,
which I predicted would have been Charlotte Public School (was
actually Charlottetown), and continued with the commentary. Small
school, small perimeter, so it didn't take very long for me to walk
around it, but it gave me more things to talk about and film. The
painting was quite nice and you can see it in the video thumbnail.
After I was done with the school, I made way back to Charlottetown
park, went on the hill and concluded the video in front of an apple
tree. Mind you, even though you hear me
ramble about how uninteresting the area is, it's not actually a bad
place to visit. The openness and hills can make it fun for you, your
family,
your
friends and pets. After all, there's a reason why it had visitors
aside from myself. Oh,
and one more random thing: I got to see a 2015 Maserati Ghibli that
day, and then shortly a 2016 Tesla Model S. Quite the eye treat.
As the
silly name suggests, I visited the Chrysler Pickering dealership to
film Rams, Jeeps, Chryslers, Dodges and random used cars in the
inventory. Now, this dealership does not carry Fiats, but who cares?
For those that still don't know yet, Fiat owns Chrysler, but it took
a while for them to make up their minds about whether they want to
sell the mini Italian cars alongside their American counterparts. You
can see them in some Fiat Chrysler dealerships, but not all. The Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles portfolio
consists of Chrylser, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, Alfa Romeo and
Maserati, but to date, I don't think there's a dealership that
actually sells those brands all under one roof. Alfa Romeo and
Maserati probably think they're too luxurious and good for their
cheap counterparts, but I still think it would be awesome to actually
see a dealership in Ontario that would sell all brands under one
roof. In fact, it would actually help Alfa Romeo and Maserati get
better sales, because it would be more exposure for the two
struggling brands, and
allow people to get to know them better in person. Anyway, that's
enough rambling about that, so let's get onto the Pickering
dealership itself! This dealer, as you can tell from the video, has
Ford and Lincoln neighbouring
it, so this allowed me to conveniently make two videos that day, and
I decided to do Chrysler first. Seeing that red Dodge Challenger with
black race stripes was one of the highlights of the video, which also
received a hilarious edit! Sadly, that Challenger happened to be the
only Challenger there. There weren't much Dodge Chargers either, and
those that were there, weren't Hellcats. I then remembered that
Hellcats have a very hard time staying on their lots because there's
so much pent up demand for them. In fact, it was so bad last year
that FCA had to tell
dealers to stop selling
Hellcats to people when the inventory was empty.
The Brampton plant could only spit out so much. This year though, I
think I heard somewhere that they
doubled the production to satisfy the demand. Another vehicle I
wasn't able to
find were Durangos. These
things look so cool when their massive racetrack taillights in the
dark! Aside from some of the cooler missing cars, it was still a
great dealer to explore. This dealer had a lot of minivans and Rams
though, that's for sure! Now about the “Jokesler” part of the
title... um... I'm sure you can see why it garnered that warning in
the first place... *snicker* The Ram 2500 Laramie Megacab is my
favourite vehicle from this company, but it's too bad it has poor
reliability... like
most of their cars.
The Maserati Levante and
Dodge Durango are cool as well.
I've done
Chrysler, so now it's time for Ford! Like most Ford dealerships, this
one thankfully carries the Lincoln brand which makes it more of a
pleasure to film and photograph. This dealer is
full of trucks and SUVs which isn't surprising, considering that
these are huge profits for the company. Especially
the Ford F-150! Like the Chrysler side, this dealer wasn't very big,
but they sure managed to get a lot of vehicles onto the lot! You can
see me in some parts dodging tight corners to avoid getting
pinned between the cars. There weren't very many Lincolns, but
considering that they are luxury cars after all, that shouldn't be
too shocking. I did get see reasonable amount Lincolns, and the
Lincoln Continental was especially wonderful to see in person. When I
first saw it online as a car to
be released, I instantly
considered it to be hands down the best looking vehicle in Ford's
entire
portfolio. One of my gripes I have with the Ford Motor
Company is that I find
many of their cars to be so ugly, but the Lincoln side of them is not
only luxurious, but happens to have better looking vehicles. That
said, the Ford Mustang, especially the Shelbys with race stripes,
look amazing. You can hear me make a complaint about the lack of
Lincoln Navigators, because I wanted to buy one – kidding! Though
if were to go shopping that day, I'd request a red Lincoln Navigator.
Last week,
I did not get around to playing Asphalt 8. This week, I did not get
around to playing and
filming any mobile games at all! What's going on? Did I quit or
something? No, I did not. I'll try to see if I can film a game or two
this week. Last weekend, I didn't get around to filming anything
outdoors, thanks to the rain. If I ever get my hands on a desirable
waterproof phone, I'd definitely like to try a rain video some day,
but not now.
