I can't recall ever buying a bottle of water.  What a giant disaster - massive amounts of plastic for literally no reason in Canada where we have invested billions in running water infrastructure.

Voss from Norway is ridiculously expensive.

Long time since I've seen a 1 generation Probe. Nice find.

Probes were actually pretty sweet cars back in the day.  Unfortunate poor name, and the initial info that it was the new Mustang garnered a lot of hate for it, but it was one of the better Ford efforts at the time.

The aero Fords (and Audis) of the 1980s were such a huge change from the baroque stuff of the 1970s. Really revolutionary stuff.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Looks like my street is up to two new Ridgelines and three HR-Vs.

1964-ish Studebaker Crusier I think. Possibly out of the Hamilton factory.

 :heart: Being a '64, it could be one of the last cars produced at South Bend (closed in December '63), or a Hamilton car.

My next door neighbour upgraded his Windstar to a 2017 (2018?) Honda Odyssey Touring, ticked every box from the looks of it. He still has the Windstar and drives it. Said he was kind of nervous driving the new car.  ;D

He owns a restaurant, but lives pretty modestly. This is the first time I've ever seen him buy anything even approaching extravagant.
