At the corner of Reach Street and Highway 12, the crew at Northport Tire proved once again no job is too big—or too hilariously tiny—for them to tackle.
Here we see Larry, the shop’s owner, wielding two industrial-sized jacks to hoist what can only be described as the cutest enclosed mobility scooter in Durham Region history. Onlookers report the vehicle weighs about as much as a strong breeze, but Larry insists: “Safety first—big jacks, tiny car, same rules.”
Small car stories always make me smile because people underestimate how much pride goes into keeping an older vehicle useful. My first car was tiny, loud, and somehow survived more errands than it deserved. Tires, service timing, and honest dealer behavior mattered because every repair felt personal when money was tight. Community spirit around cars is real, but buyers still need practical information before trusting a seller. For that kind of decision, I would want Big Motoring World reviews included before choosing where to shop.
Ragdoll Archers is an amusing physics challenge centered on trajectory and timing. The fun comes from mastering the loose, unpredictable movements of the archer.
