5. This fun little vehicle is a regular in my bro's neighbourhood in DT St. Cathartines. It has various messages on there with the one standing out the most saying something negative about gas. Can't remember exactly.

Posted about this on another thread but going to add here too since this was also in Niagara and the same kind of vehicle. This white one was in Welland while the guy driving the red one I saw driving a blue one in St. Catharines earlier. He has two and according to my bro, that's what he does all day. Drives around for no reason. The blue one said FBI Female Body Inspector.
And some more interesting things I saw over the past three months or so:
Free bibles. I wonder if anyone took up the lady on her offer. She was actually sitting in a lawn chair beside the car. This was in Oakville. And sticking with the religious theme, this house has a sign in front since August saying JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. Yes, a Christmas sign. In Elmvale.
At first I thought this device was a tire boot for parking at the GO station lot for too long, but that would only get a you a ticket. Then I realized it's an anti theft device. They put that on every time while there. And like me, they park well back of other cars because these days that doesn't mean you have to park at the very back of the lot. It's amazing I see people with $100k cars park sandwiched in between other cars when you can guarantee not getting dinged by a door by parking a 30 to 60 second walk farther away.
Saw this ancient MR2 and 911 20 feet away from each other at an apartment building in Niagara. The MR2 in particular is so rare.
I got a rental to drive to Hamilton, Niagara, Haldimand and Norfolk. He gave me a Charger and I don't have to pay for gas as it's expensed. You'd think I'd be excited but I sighed. At this point, when I'm giong to be doing six hours of driving, I'd rather a CUV/SUV/mini van over a Ferrari let alone a Charger because comfort is the name of the game. And I was right. After five minutes I was dreaming about the last rental they gave me - a Dodge Caravan. Anyone else feel like that now?
Saw this sick WRX in Welland. Modelled after the legendary Impreza WRC made famous by the legendary Colin McRae. The guy who would have won more than one WC if he would just pace himself and preserve leads in rallies instead of driving balls to the wall 100% of the time, often ending in crashes. This is only the second time I've seen someone put their name on the back window rally car style. That was also a Francophone name, but had a Quebec flag. It was in Montreal afterall. Reminds of me people who had a Honda CBR bike and they'd get the Repsol version from Moto GP, made famous by five time champ Mick Doohan. Have seen that twice. Both times in Brampton.
And only three days after I saw the world rally Impreza, I see a Jetta in Oakville with the WRC logo on the door.
PS. I tried to quote my own post from the previous page but ended up pressing edit and deleting everything from that post other than the tiny red car. So I tried to make it look like I quoted it here but it looks off, as you can see.
