There are sidewalks made for blinds with obstacles!!!!  8)
Are not present on every sidewalk, but are lots of them already. It`s responsibility of the population install these sidewalks.

wow, this first generation passat actually looks cool - you cannot really tell the same on subsequent models.

Not a favorite, but quite an interesting one: when Honda CR-Z spends a drunk night with a Lamborghini...  :o
Strange or not, but I like the design (except the dashboard*), it reminds me of '80s concept cars.

* Call me a boomer, but a car's dashboard should not be full of tablet / infotainment screens.

That's a cool concept indeed. To me, it brings to mind a Lamborghini Espada.

Surprising catch during my last bike tour: Corvette ZR1 C4.

No pics, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a Mercedes SL (R129) parked next to me the other day.

Just checked: currently there are two Corvette ZR1 C4 cars in the Hungarian market.

A cabrio (1989) in bad condition, for 3.99 M HUF (~10000 EUR), and a slightly better hardtop (1987) for 6.8 M HUF (~17000 EUR).

For comparison, some new car prices (cheapest trim):

Dacia Sandero - 5.8 M (cheapest new car for ages, Romanian manufacturer, crappy...)
Toyota Yaris hybrid - 8.7 M
Honda Civic e:HEV - 13 M
Tesla Model Y - 19.1 M
BMW X6 - 35.8 M

None of them looks better than the old Corvette. ;D

QuoteThis is the story of how, in the 1920s, the auto industry chased people off the streets of America — by waging a brilliant psychological campaign.

They convinced the public that if you got run over by a car, it was your fault.

Chevrolet Impala, 3rd generation from the early 60s. (Rotoi's Impala, BTW, is a 2nd generation one.)
