“Roller Girl yelled at me to vote for them,” added another commenter.
Vancouver also has a unique brand of drivers that isn’t seen anywhere else.
One Redditor said that seeing a Lamborghini with an N sticker on it was very Vancouver, while another commented that a Lambo with a massive ski box on the top gave them local vibes.
Teslas and Evos were also popular discussion points, with commenters saying they feel like they’re constantly surrounded by them.

Another popular point of discussion that residents brought up was the weather.
One Redditor said that folks walking in the rain without an umbrella was on point for Vancouver, while another responded that they didn’t need one because they had a “very good hood.”
Other users hinted that maybe the reason why people didn’t use umbrellas for the rain was because they were saving it for snowfall.
