Yeah Woodfield. I took the pic about a month ago when I was christmas shopping but was too lazy to post it up until now.

They are not for sale. They are public garbage cans located all around the mall.

if you look inside the can you should be able to find out who makes them. Just lift off the lid, take out the bag and find a sticker in there somewhere. WE ALL MUST BUY THESE!

if they are public garbage cans, then the public can use them, and by using i mean taking them.

What would be even more funny, is if someone caught you stealing it and they came up to you as you were walking away and asked, "you have an RX-8, don't you?" and smiled.

Would we have to continuously oil the seals? And could we use synthetic? More research required, not to mention a zillion threads.

I wonder how many you could swipe before someone realized what was goin on. I propose a joint effort, get like 10 friends together (one with a truck), strategically placed throughout the mall, and do one quick swipe timed up simultaneosly. You could even where janitor type clothing and act like you are taking it to be emptied and just bounce! LOL

Or you could use a methodic approach and go in and jack one every weekend until you have a few. Just watch out though, that mall security staff may get wise and set up a sting op on yo ***!! Man that would be embarassing, getting pinched for stealing a mall waste basket.

I wonder if the designer of the can is a rotar head or it was just a thought for the shape?

Probably a French designer with a strong mathematical background.

"In the basic single-rotor Wankel engine, the oval-like epitrochoid-shaped housing surrounds a three-sided rotor (similar to a Reuleaux triangle, a three-pointed curve of constant width, but with the middle of each side a bit more flattened)."
