First day back from vacation, and a thousand trivial indiginities plagued me. I had a million things to dig out of, and was frustrated by so many small interruptions, inefficiencies, and interferences. I can’t point to any particular problem, just an unending array of irritation that ultimately boiled over. So I am looking at old Japanese car ads on line.

There are so many cool old ads. Do you have a favorite? Trying to cheer myself up with these. Show me some fun ones.

I wish new car ads were as cool as the old ones were.

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > ImmoralMinority 07/18/2017 at 20:34

And here’s one that reminds me of the Vanagon I owned in college and the various activities performed inside said Vanagon...

But unlike the Chevy in which I was conceived in, nobody got pregnant in my van, although not for a lack of trying...

I’m confused by the Honda Coupe ad outfits. Nightgown? Leather skier? Pigtail cowgirl? Nautical mime?

Is also the inspiration for the white on red theme of my racecar.

Wow-I had 3 out of 4 of them. (No MkII-although I know I had other Corollas.)
