Marcia’s financial success allowed her to upgrade her car from a Honda Civic to a BMW. When asked by The Globe and Mail about what attracted her to a BMW, Marcia said, “It says I like a bit of luxury, but I'm not over the top. I loved the way that it looked. It had been my dream car. I was at that point where I had saved up and I thought 'It's time.' I found it at the first place I went into. My first time out – that never happens from what I'm told. It was second hand, but it was mint. There were 28,000 kilometers on it and it was in perfect condition. We fell in love and that was it. It has a great classic look. It doesn't look dated. I love my sunroof. I love my heated seats even more than my sunroof! Surprisingly, it has been more practical than I thought. I moved in the last year. I could put the backseat down and I've carried rugs, benches, and large mirrors. I've been able to make it like a utility vehicle. The great thing about my car being silver is it never really looks dirty. It’s not perfect all of the time.”
She even ran into an issue with the police because of her new BMW, “Because my shift recently changed. "It was an honest mistake, officer." He didn't think it was an honest mistake. I was leaving the gym – I was so proud of myself that I had gone to work out at 6 am. I'm pulling onto a road in my neighborhood and I had never noticed you're not allowed to turn down this street between 7 and 9 a.m. It was 7:04 in the morning and he dinged me with a massive ticket. I was in shock. Really? Four minutes after 7. Now, I slowly drive up to that road and take a peek. He's there almost every day. He's waiting for me. I know better now. He can't outsmart me.”
