@tikibunnyimports what a nice #SwagMachine!

Really has that Pre-WW2 Mercedes-esque Design…

@tikibunnyimports @DenOfEarth yeah.

• Lets just say the Century (or any full-size black JDM sedan like a Mazda 929 or 626) really gets side-eyed by those who know and I'm not shure if I'd get pulled over in Düsseldorf if I were to drive along "Little Tokyo" aka. Immermannstraße with one.

Certainly it'll catch looks...

• I do hope that Century finds a nice home by someone wanting to preserve it.

Maybe like the Gaz M13 "Chaika" these will become very expensive collectibles not that far into the future.

• After all both are what I call "#SwagMachine|s" in that they prioritize rear bench confort and smoothness of ride above everything else...

@tikibunnyimports Yeah...

Because such a significant change would be legally considered "new production of a vehicle"...

#Germany isn't #Nevada which allows everything that one can inshure and long as the emissions per power ain't getting worse...

Granted this sadly results in classic cars remaining more polluting despite a more efficient, safer and less directly pollution option being possible but basically outlawed.

I.e. I'd love to see someone EV-mod something like a Gaz M13 "Chaika" because that'll make it easier to drive, more efficient and easier to maintain.
After all, it's a slow "#Swagmachine" of a cruise vehicle.

Similarly, I do want to see more #PersonalLightVehicles and I consier #KeiCars to be a step in the right direction by being the Antithesis of a #SuperUselessVehicle and counteracting the #Fattening or rather #Enshittification of #Cars.

And yes, we need #SmallerVehicles, as @notjustbikes pointed out:
