Montreal- A place to live

I am really tempted to come and study overseas in Montreal now. Somehow it pulls of a small town feel even though it's really quite a big city. Everyone seems very friendly and it is very beautiful of course. Another deciding factor for me however, is that their are alot of nice cars that recide here. More than New York. Yesterday was one of my best car spotting days ever, I saw a Maybach; I know there are alot in NY but back home you'd never see one. Then there were two of the beautiful Ferrari F430's, A nice gaggle of Porsche's throughout the day. And then i saw her.
Well I'll throw in the story leading up to this. On this day, the girls decided once more that it would be another shopping day. I went along with them for a little while but i wasn't really in the mood, and i'm quite involved with my book at the moment, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. So i thought i'd go walk up the hill to where the trees are colourful and get encaptured in my book. Unfortunately the position i chose for myself, which was a nice spot there were nice trees nearby and it was a lovely grassy area where i was seated. but there was a main road just down below. I can't concentrate on much when i'm near a main road, i'm too worried that i'll miss nice cars driving on by. For those of you who didn't know how obsessed i am i'm sure your starting to realise now.
Well I got a bit of reading done, but my concentration was very much divided. In one of the moment when i decided to look up at the road, i saw her. My very first ever glimpse of the Mercedes-McLaren SLR. That is one gorgeous car, wish i could have got a photo of it as it cruised on by. I watched it in disbelief until it vanished around the corner, happy to know that I could easily come and spend some of my life in Montreal. It's got everything I think a city needs.
