Strolling to a meeting this morning I walked through the office car park. My eye falls on a brand new 5 series. It's a wagon, it's a light metallic brown, 3 litre diesel, six speed manual transmission.
Thing is, being in Italy this is quite a normal combination and barring the colour I see a dozen other ones in the parking lot every day. However I can imagine that a vast swathe of the Jalopnik readership would have stopped dead in their tracks and started tugging feverishly at their man-bits.
A couple of weeks ago I was in New York and nearly every single car I saw was alien, I realised that I would have looked a bit odd taking pictures of a Nissan Sentra so I didn't, but the fact remains that even the most mundane Stateside automobile is pretty special to me.
A random post, I know, but I felt like sharing.

Makes complete sense...if you see something all the time it is no longer special. Whenever I travel overseas I am always fascinated by the various cars I see that aren't in the US. Even if those cars aren't that great.

Exactly, a car-loving friend was recently over from Texas and started waxing lyrical about Lancia Ypsilons, Renault Clios and Fiat Puntos. Unfortunately they're all horrendous, but to him they were truly amazing little cars he'd never seen...

And I bet you would love to try out an F-250

Would I ever! Last year I was in Houston for work and when I got to the rental desk I couldn't wait to see what I would be driving, you can imagine my distress when I was handed the keys to a Chevrolet Cruze. The nice lady from Hertz was mighty confused when I told her 'but we've got them in Europe!'
