Not exactly an “encounter” since I never actually met the guy in question, but an indirect encounter through the car itself.

This, and the extra torque at low RPM, allowing smooth ride in silence. There’s a reason why most top luxury cars come with a V12 (Maybach, Bentley, Rolls Royce, the Toyota Century ...)

I NEVER touch my phone when I drive (well, except to change songs, but that’s one tap and it’s fixed to the dashboard)

However if I’m sitting in the traffic and something interesting happens, like cops on bikes rushing to make a road block to make way for an armored convoy, well sure, I’ll grab my phone to take a…

So it was true ...

Also, your typography looks like mid-’90s Apple. Time for an update.

I don’t know about Americans, but I sure know what I want in my AVs.

Why would you put a Vette engine in a Benz while there are so many AMG engines for sale to choose from ? And those wheels, putting modern wheels on a vintage Mercedes-Benz ... This is ...

It’s all about trucks, leather and mustaches.

Actually, they never had a chance : a weak dealers network, bad marketing that eventually became unexistant, very bad quality interiors and old engines that got them killed by the specialized press ... In fact they didn’t have any arguments other than “hey, it’s american !” while it was obvious they weren’t, I mean,…

Edit : The 6 is probably a Clio V6.

Here are my guesses :

Hey ! Future is not that bad : We’re going to burn Citroen C3 Pluriels !

Sssshhhhhhh ! I’m currently thinking about buying a red example of these with 160k on the odometer. I’m trying my best to stop me from purchasing it, and now you post this ?!

Even more “just a car” than a VW Golf : the latest Nissan Pulsar. It shares its base with the Renault Clio, but I’m pretty sure that most people in Europe don’t even know it exists, and would probably ignore it if they saw one.

189,000€, or 211,705$

I didn’t, I felt like I was being monitored too closely after I heard the driver of the Century in front of me getting a warning for staying too much time stopped at the red light after the fountain.

Yes. I’ve been there in March and tried a cool Century and their manual 86 with a clutch that probably had known better days. Shame that you’re limited to 40km/h though, but for 600 yen, could have been worse I guess ...

I can’t be the only one who read “ICE CREAM” instead of “ICE RAM” ... Or maybe I should just do something about this addiction ...

Toyota TS 050s came in second (No. 5) and third (No. 6). The No. 5 was able to be restarted and crawl across the finish line in time to be officially qualified as a finisher.

At least it would make one person who knows his burner account key.
