UPDATE: There’s a link to pix of last weekend’s 24-hour LeMans race, below, but New Jersey cars, not to be outdone, show real personality! The most recent parking lot find: the eyelash car. Remember the cars whose headlights would rotate closed when not in use? One of them wouldn\u2019t be working right and would close only partway, making the car look half-asleep, when in New Jersey, that privilege is reserved for the driver.<\/p>\n

\"car\"<\/a>I\u2019m intrigued by what the person with the do-it-yourself woodie is trying to accomplish.<\/p>\n

Is he creating a lumber exoskeleton to give his vehicle some extra protection from his fellow drivers? Pointing out the inadequacy of materials or imagination in Toyota\u2019s design? Making an artistic statement? And, is the upside-down Toyota emblem an international symbol of automotive distress?<\/p>\n
