Went to Montréal this morning. Saw a nice, clean, big sedan grey '80 Benz on the street curb side.

Also seen few streets away, a yellow grocery (Maxi) cart on the curb locked to a small tree with a bike U-lock...  :think:

Well, just like with a car you want to find it where you've parked it. Everything in life is relative.

Plus when you finally find a cart without a wobbly wheel, you don't want to lose it.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he wakes you up at 5 in the morning.

^^I know, I know, but where can you get a worktable with wheels and locks for free?! ;)
We just don't know how to exploit the system.
It's like buying a two for one then, returning the 2nd one for a refund.

I once bought an MG kit car thing. Pushed it home about 10 blocks with my mother.  :rofl2:

Plastic caliber covers. Should be punishable by death.

I was gonna say the same thing, those are way to large and plasticky looking to be actual brakes?!?

Early 60's Ford Ranchero drove by me the other morning when I was out walking the boys.
No time for a pic but looked identical to this one.

Those look like MGP covers; they're not plastic, some light metal, aluminum maybe.

Its very nice, and I would totally rock it as a weekend vehicle, but the wheels are  :hurl:

110's are one vehicle that look better with painted steelies.
