    Around here? Everywhere, just ask. There is enough anti-plastic activism to force paper availability. Numerous cities even ban free plastic bags.

    I found the reason why Toyota dealers are calling DRCC "distance pacing cruise control". Honda dealers call it that in their ads, so it's a "parroty" thing.

    Generally, I get a paper bag at the liquor store when I buy a couple bottles of wine. Or if I forget to bring a reusable bag to Aldi or Trader Joe's.

    So Honda dealers got it wrong first. "Distance pacing c/c" really doesn't make sense - except maybe to an illiterate car salesman.

    There are a few in that advert:

    The Gen2 had rear drum brakes only in North America. In the rest of the world, including Alan's country, they had disk brakes.

    For a few seconds the entire dash lights up including the red triangle of death, scaring the driver and curing the hiccups

    I believe the Renault Zoe has rear drum brakes.

    Yes, there are cars still with them, but I couldn't recall any I'd had without 4 wheel disks - but since remembered my '78 VW Microbus didn't.

    Yes they do as I have one.

    It was what I was driving before I got 'Percy'. My partner is running it now until the PCP runs out in June then its going back to Renault. Great little car (y)

    Trying to talk mine into one, but she won't even discuss it. Verges on paranoia

    True but in the modern era, "4-wheel disc brakes" is specifying that it's not "front discs/rear drums", rather than "4-wheel drum brakes". :)

    I agree, by the early 1980's front drum brakes were completely gone in the U.S. I would think it was similar in Canada.

    For some reason I was thinking that Distance Pacing Cruise Control was similar to DRCC but with sensors in the rear, for situations like this:
