Winnipeg's got some of the best car rental agencies around (they need to be, half the people who visit have their car stolen).

And don't forget that there are several kind soul who will help you improve your gas mileage by "lightening" your car for you. If they don't just save you gas costs altogether.


At any rate, we get more sun than you do, and have a lower cost of living.
Just... make sure you lock your doors on Higgins. Those aren't ladies standing on the corners down that area....
