Default Today’s WTF

I was sitting at a traffic light and at the corner was a McDonalds with a old man on a scooter (the kind like a rascal) going through the drive through. with a line of cars behind him....I didn’t have my camera so I tried to take a pic with my cell but it was too far away.

P.S. had the Vette out today and she was running tip top.

She looks like one sweet ride...Anyways last summer on Deerfoot Trail (one of the most dangerous freeways in North America), I saw that a member of the Calgary Revenue Service(police) had pulled over some poor old man on one of those motorized four wheeled scooter things.I know battery technology has made some advances,but I don't think that they can go sixty miles an hour yet...
