When you want to dress up and go fishing on a dreaded sunny day in San Francisco and you want to take along your German Shepherd, leave the two-seat BMW / Izetta Bubble Car in the garage and take the much larger VW Beetle convertible instead.
Of course. Click to enlarge:

Now, now. Whom are you trying to impress with your high-aspect-ratio Euro-style faux license plates?
Europe has long been thought of as a center of culture and sophistication, with good reason. The area is steeped in history. Among the many things Europe is known for are the cars. The thought of a European sports car makes any car enthusiast’s heart beat a little faster. Now you can give your own vehicle a touch of Old World flair with a Euro License Plate.
Or maybe you kept authentic European plates on your Beemer to remind you of your Autobahn-storming days back on the Continent?
Either way, You Might Just Be Eurotrash.

Just saying.

The tool he uses? An old school Austin Mini, complete with ten-inch wheels. Compare the red car with the larger New MINI on left.
You can see New MINIs all over the place but the older models are what you need to attract attention these days.

News comes today that the City and County of San Francisco is denying the claim made Amritpal and Kulbir Dhaliwal regarding the Christmas Day tiger attack last year upon Carlos Souza, Jr.

Why? You’ll just have to read the 84-page lease agreement between San Francisco and the San Francisco Zoo to find out.
Dennis Herrera is a crackerjack attorney, so he and his team aren’t going to make things easy for those trying to make money off of this tragedy. It’s not like San Francisco has a lot of extra sourdough to send down to the counties of Santa Clara and Los Angeles.
Let’s all hope that the new and improved big cat grottos will be less vulnerable to any kind of harassment, even the “boys will be boys” fatal type of harassment.
