The things we would do together. If you were mine, I would take you on a tour of Europe, driving like we were fleeing every country. From dealership to dealership, we would travel briskly, but never in a hurry. Always I would remain classy and gentlemanly as I’d wait for you outside a foreign repair shop, welcoming the refreshing blend of anger and puzzlement erupting from the repairman.

Thank your owner for parking you like a bit of a dick this morning, so I could admire your deep red, your vast proportions, and your homelike tan interior.

Here’s to a future that never happened.

I do love a good Continental R.

They grew up on me real quick. I was always a Bentley fan anyway.

I'm not sure you could park more like a dick if you tried, aside from maybe being on the sidewalk completely.

Yep that’s some quality there. Chinese (or Honk Kong?) plates as well, never seen these around here.

I think they could be Japanese diplomatic plates, since they kind of look like normal japanese plates, with CD added to it.

Aah, maybe. At first glance I thought they were Chinese lettering, but upon closer inspection of the potato image, it could be japanese. Still weird to see these in Paris, though.

Maybe a diplomat, can be any nationality really, who was moved from Tokyo to Paris, but hasn’t received his French CD plates yet? Or a former French diplomat, who has returned to France but has not yet gotten normal French plates.

I know for a fact arranging everything takes a while, as I know of a Dutch diplomat who lived in the Ritz-Carlton for a few months while waiting on his stuff to clear customs and finding a house after being transferred, since they are transferred once every 4 years IIRC.

When laws don’t apply to you, and you have no worries about accountability or responsibility, this is how you park.

Probably a diplomat, yeah. A tasteful one at that, even if he can’t park for shit.
