Cars of British Columbia

Here’s a running gallery of the sweet cars I’ve spotted in British Columbia, where there is no salt on the roads in the winter and more moderate temperatures all year round. There are many cars there that I haven’t seen in Ontario in 15 years. These relics would have long since rusted away with our salt and brine. The exposure to JDM Japanese Domestic Market vehicles is also greater with the access to the Pacific. There is a unique car culture in British Columbia that is worthy of study. All of these photos shot by Timothy Felsky with a Canon60D and processed with Adobe Lightroom.

While I’m particularly sensitive to it, it seems that almost everyone drives a Toyota truck of some kind in British Columbia it seems. From Tacoma, to 4Runner, to Lexus GX and LX variants. They really show that they last when not exposed to the terrible corrosion that afflicts Ontario Tacomas. True 4 wheel drive and likely affinity to Pacific brands aids in their significant capture of the light truck market. There are enough that I will do a separate post just of the Toyota trucks I spotted.
