Tokyu H2 Blingu

I find the Hummer H2 to be the most loathesome example of American excess and stupidity, but when seen in this Tokyo garage, jacked up to within an inch of the ceiling, it becomes a sublimely ridiculous autobot, crouching in the shadows waiting for the next decepticon attack.

You have to love the chutzpah of this owner, buying a truck that literally can't fit down most of the side streets in Tokyo, and guzzles gas like a mechanical Godzilla. The addition of the winch --which I am sure has never been used-- is the cherry on top. Sure, the H2 a refreshing middle finger to stifling Japanese conformity, but one wonders if the joke might just be on the owner here...

Ghoulish Halloween Street Sighting!

I thought it fitting that this car was right by the Halloween Parade route. I always find these home-made costumes are the best, don't you?

Long Island Lagonda

Attended the show at the Americana Manhasset mall this weekend. This Lagonda in the parking lot may have just been the highlight for me. The fact it was parked next to an older Camry was icing on the cake.
