Two weeks ago we even talked about this possibility....terrifying

Hmmm....have to talk to my tax consultant if this would be deductable...

@David Tracy: See? It can’t be a conincidence; everything points to that Conquest for you!

Conspirancy glasses “on”: you just want to subtle make us all accept our new autonomous future where nobody dies (except orphan pedestrians).

Owner here, it is actually the color “sparkle orange mica” from the US line-up of colors for the Mazda 3 I was told. The original owner took the whole car apart before driving a single km to let the car be painted in that color. German model in Germany btw.

Well actually the honeycomb structure in the front is 2 staged and has roughly the rigidity of a big SUV (~2.4 tons). It simulates e.g. being hit by a red running car while turning. (The video is from the research phase but the real USNCAP test can be on both sides)

I can try to help; ask Mr. Tracy for my mail adress

But now I want to see this car in the new oblique test.

My profession forces me to weep silently at this sight.

Well you can buy pepper spray here (it is clearly written on it that it’s only for use on dangerous animals); seems like an interesting method, never heard of someone doing this

In the front of the building?

The not rare ones are either for selling or customer cars or for scrapping.

I only saw one in Germany until now and it was in a neighboring village. Wouldn’t be surprised if Tilo had to do something with it before

The grass is always greener on the other side..

Let’s be honest, many of them would be scrapped or completely rusted by now if they wouldn’t protect them.

That’s why me and my friends sold one quite immidiatly (to Tilo :D) after buying two of them and concentrating our ressources on the second one.

I actually have been there in March! It was great and the curator was very nice and let us sit in some of the cars, even the oldest. But as you said it isn’t public and I still don’t know how we managed to get inside. I think it was lost in translation that we were no potential buisiness partners.

It’s the capital city of the northern island of Japan, Hokkaido

A metric (Germany) crap-ton.
