Interesting device attached to the front of this nice looking Audi.

Makes sense for a Manhattan based car like this.

This was a retro-designed kei car only sold in Japan in the early 90s. I hadn't seen one since I worked in Tokyo over a decade ago...

Didn't get a pic, but here's one:
are you sure it was only sold in Japan? I've seen quite a few of them in Europe. Most have eye-lashes.

It might have been sold new in the UK. They were only RHD...

But most likely the ones you saw in Europe were used. Japan has a very weak used car market -- nearly all used cars are exported, many with low mileage..

Saw a Tesla Model S yesterday. Was sort of a maroon color -- looked great.

Later on the way home, I saw a new M5 that still had Euro Delivery plates on (both front and rear)...

Our President just got his new M5 delivered in the US. I convinced him to do ED, so he owes me a test drive. He got it in white with red interior. Everyone at work jokes around that we should have a drag race.

A lot of that in the household this week.

One of the simple pleasures in life, for me, is the lighting of the candles during Chanukah - thanks to my lovely wife and her devotion to tradition.

The most amazing thing about that pic is that the Jag appears to be running.
