I take it you'd rather have a Taiga in your tank then? Laughing

That make me wonder if Badtz Maru will be on the racing oil version then.

I'm amused because I asked my dad today to show me how to gauge my oil.

I'm even more amused that I want the Hello Kitty gas can for the sticker and card. Razz Darn marketing ploys!

When I first read this, I KNEW there was an Exxon joke in there somewhere. However, I couldn't find it. But you, good sir/ma'am, have made the joke I couldn't.

I salute you.

That's OK. Smile

And now I know what people mean when they say their car purrs like a kitten.

This is hardly the oddest object I've seen from Japan. I played a game once where in order to save and withdraw money/items, you had to talk to a frog. But not a robotic frog, a normal swamp frog.

That's nothing. Here in the UK you have to face the real thing. It's one of the reasons internet banking has caught on. Wink

Thought the main cars in the anime were a Nissan March and a Suzuki WagonR?
