California registration? No thanks, that’s not for me. I prefer to use license plates from the Land of Enchantment and the Empire State.
But have you seen the urban snorkel (camera left, near the windshield) on my G-Wagen?

[Apparently, these things will remain in production after all. I had thought the line shut down in the summer of 2011. This model was supposed to die in 2006, 2010, and 2011, but it still keeps chugging along...]
Achtung, baby!
As seen on Fillmore:

Kind of looks like a VW Thing, non?
They’re out of production now, but these G rigs went for $125K+ back in the day, and that was before the convertible “option.”
Here’s an exit interview with the German version of the Hummer.

How are you going to get around in the snow tonight? That’s something to ponder while you check out these gone-to-hell, straight-outta-Austria G-Wagens owned by the Pope of the NoPA.
Achtung, baby:

Or maybe you should just buy a new one before the snow arrives.
Stay warm!

Valencia Street in the Mission used to have two lanes in both directions, but now it has Category II bike lanes and a center lane that’s supposed to be used for turns. The problem is that drivers view the turning lane as a 13-foot-wide, mile-and-half-long parking lot.
As here, where the driver of this black $100,000 Mercedes Benz Geländewagen is backing up the northbound lane to claim the prize he just passed by. Was the MUNI bus delayed by this maneuver of the G-Wagon? A little, but Parking Wherever The Hell You Want is Your Right as a San Franciscan, right?

Do people get tickets for this? People do.
Occasionally.
