Holy moly. I would be deathly afraid of dropping the bottle in the parking lot.

When I lived in the outskirts of Seattle we'd have a power outage every year. Usually in the Fall when the first storm came through and 'pruned' the trees near the power lines. It may just be confirmation bias on my part, but it sure seemed like every year a few families would die from CO poisoning because they brought the BBQ inside to keep warm during the power outage. Or they'd run the generator in the garage and the exhaust would drift into the house and kill them that way.

My wife who lives much of the year in Chicago just called me and said she, as usual, caught the bus to the indoor pool for the water gymnastics. However when she arrived there the pool was closed so she took another bus back home, noting that Target was all closed and dark as was Aldi. There were hardly anyone out on the streets apart from a dogwalker or two ....
It's America, everyone is getting ready to argue with relatives and watch football (the real kind of football) 🙂
On Thanksgiving Day I would like to thank everyone who kept this thread alive for 174 pages! Ya'll are outstanding with great senses of humor. Thank You!
The real kind of WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I know ..... I don't get it, fotball/soccer is obviously played in Winter and hockey in Summer .....🙄
Yeah... In many major US cities the grocery stores close three times a year: Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
No hockey on TV today. Grr! I guess handegg took over.
CFL is still the best kind of handegg. There! I said it. 🙂 I never was a soccer fan. I still think soccer would be better if the field was smaller. Maybe made of ice. With fewer players and a puck instead of the ball.

What I like is that we come from all over the world, with various views on religion, politics and other stuff that is fun to discuss .... And I guess we could start a civil war in here ... IF WE WANTED TO.
But we not treat each and everyone with respect, we do our best to bring joy, a smile and maybe a little laughter and not so seldom expose ourselves, let someone be slightly ironic on our behalf. I've been on forums where some people (who are more pigs than other, to paraphrase G Orwell) have been granted permission to be real douche nozzles or where the rules have absolutely killed all discussions (about HiFi and music).
So have a happy Easter or whatever you celebrate across our blue marbel marvel. I will pour me a good bourbon.
Out of curiosity I Googled them.
As is not uncommon with 'high end', I found one single point of sale in each country they are (allegedly) available in.
Following the UK link I saw no price or 'how to buy'.
All links go back to manufacturers website.
So maybe 'you can look but not touch' or 'if you have to ask the price you can't afford it'.
Or:
Maybe you have to be invited to be a customer?
Perhaps people who buy such high end don't like everyone to know how much they spent (modesty).
As you wish: Put your kids to work with this power ride on cleaning "go kart”.

When my son was young I figured if he is going to crawl all over the floor maybe he can get some work done too, I wanted to get one of these but I was vetoed by my wife.

We "had" a black and white cat named Sylvester who jumped on the kitchen table and grabbed a chicken leg, ran out the backdoor right after my mother placed the plate on the table and told me to wash up for dinner. We also noticed that Sylvester disappeared the next week...
It’s like he’s prescient or something.
