I never quite got the point of those "duck bills" that they like so much. I think all of that junk comes off, and is only in place for shows. At least I hope so...
And some of the more subdued efforts really do tickle my fancy.
On another note, the whole "VIP Car" phenomenon is an interesting and specifically Japanese tuning craze. Also it gives a new lease on life to all those otherwise unlovable old executive Japanese cars, Cedrics, Crowns and Debonairs.

On a locomotive we called those front pieces cow catchers. Do you call them people catchers when they are on a car? Lawnmowers.... ;D

I have seen small trucks that clean parking lots with a vacuum cleaner that looked like that. ----------- So are they vacuum cleaners?

Scary, I admit, but still acceptable if you have ever had a drive up in the Taiwanese mountains. Well, I am sure it has improved since my last visit. The trucks are smaller. But the roads are narrow, and the guys drive fast. No photos to show.

Dear Sirs:
I had no problems with the site and managed to see the horse inside the little sedan.
What else can I say other than: how the driver managed to do that? Oh hell, some of them even say ' sorry driver, but I did not saw your bus and this is why I hit it!'

Works like a charm. Thanks I also like the picture just before it. The chopped van. The van is sitting in the back ground. ;D
