To each their own but these blackout plates sleigh me.

Maybe it was a stealth move to get easier-to-read-from-a-distance license plates into circulation!

I have colorful specialized plates on the ol' Subaru; the $60 extra goes to support Minnesota State Parks.

An excellent value—they're a little more than an annual park sticker would cost, but not much more.

And I'm telegraphing my outdoorsy bona fides (while driving a car. OPE!).

www.startribune.com · Minnesota’s blackout license plates have been a huge hit. Here’s who is buying them.People between 45 and 54, who drive luxury cars or live in fast-growing cities in northwestern Hennepin County were the top buyers.

"It’s wrong to call these supersized vehicles sport utility vehicles (SUVs): a large proportion of them are not used for anything sportier than a supermarket run. Rather, we seem to have crossed over into emotional support vehicle (ESV) territory. A lot of the tanks I see on the road appear to serve no other purpose than making their owner feel better about their insecurities."

Heidelberg Marketing, wenn das Marketing lügt


Ich war vorhin aus Gründen auf der Webseite von Heidelberg Marketing und bin dort auf der Webseite auf die im Bild zu sehende Aussage gestoßen, welche in meinen Augen eine infame Lüge ist! Den die Hauptstraße (Fußgängerzone) in Heidelberg ist nicht autofrei! Viel mehr ist es so das es ein langer enger Schlauch ist durch den sich neben den nötigen Fahrzeugen der ASZ Heidelberg öfters mal Autos von Anwohnern, Unternehmensinhabern und dem Lieferverkehr schieben. Gerne auch die Damen und Herren von der Polizei. Das ist dann die viel versprochene Bürgernähe wenn man sich im SUV durch die oft eh schon volle Fußgängerzone schiebt.

Und ja mir wäre eine autofreie Hauptstraße durchaus lieb, nur gibt es die eben nicht, sie ist eine reine Lüge!

Happy (belated) 91st birthday to the legend Jim Dunn. It is such an honor to photograph these Legends. This portrait was captured in my small tent studio at the 2023 Nitro Revival.

Oh God, yes please !
Screens force you to look at them otherwise your fingers slip and you end up with temperature control while you're trying to get the radio or whatever...

"In 2026, cars will need fewer screens and more buttons.
New testing rules will be introduced that require vehicles to have physical controls to earn the highest safety score."

My suburb train to go home was delayed at least 1 hour.
I could have waited in a cafe near the train station (in Paris it's tempting) but I didn't have to thanks to the ✨magic✨ of public transport.

I took the subway then a bus.
It was only 15-20mn longer than with the train and I was home before the train was running again.

And as an added bonus I could see people stuck in the traffic trying to go home while the bus was zooming past in its dedicated lane.

If you visit France and for some reason you end up driving on French highways, do try to stop at a main rest area.

They're like shopping centers with local products and they're all different.
You can buy cheese (see picture), jars of cooked tripe, candies of all sorts, clothes...
It's actually quite fun and they're nice places to take a rest from crazy French drivers.😉

Picture taken at a rest area on a French highway. The background looks like a supermarket. The focus of the picture is on three people looking at a huge display of cheese in a refrigerated table about 4 by 4 feet or 1,20 by 1,20 meter.
