Warning for Hamilton Boys & Girls

Couple of things...!

First one is undercover cops. Yes, I mentioned the unmarked Ford Windstar before. But this one is an '88-'92 Pontiac GrandAm, in white. It actually looks like a P.O.S.. But I saw them pull over a car full of rednecks just as I was washing my car. Has front cherries only, so it's really stealthy. They were dressed very casually, in t-shirt and jeans. But they had guns and badges LOL

Second, do NOT get gas at the newly renovated Esso on Dundurn (Dundern?). I put gas in my own Civic, my bro's Celica and my father's Lexus, and they are ALL acting crazy at the same time. During idle, the car starts to shake violently and came close to stalling. In my brother's manual tranny Celica, the revs had to be kept up above 1,500RPM to prevent stalling. There was also a noticeable loss in passing power, as well as more noise coming from the engine bay.

The problem was fixed, when I drove to Niagara Falls and back, and filled it up with Shell Gold. I still had to do a full one hour highway driving to get all of the old gas out of the system before it returned to normal state. Avoid this Esso gas station at all cost.

Ya that's not a chinese church, isn't that the main catholic cathedral in Hamilton?

I know the esso you are talking about O1Coupe, I don't think I've gone there since it was renovated, but I will avoid. You should probably call Esso corporate and complain about that.
I try not to go to Esso at all since it's supposed to be the dirtiest burning gas, but there's so damn many of them on my route(s) !

I was just about to fill up there today but I didn't because someone cut me off and I could not be bothered to turn around. I wonder if there is still a problem with the gas.
