    "Tehranopnik?" Very Nice.


    Hopefully in a few days we can have "Glorious Leaderoplink," or perhaps "Pyongyangolopnik?"

    How the hell do you guys leave out the famous "Shah of Iran" Bugatti Type 57??? It's like one of the most famous Bugattis ever, featuring a figoni-falaschi body and Arabic license plates. Shame on you Jalopnik. Some times I swear you guys only know about cars made after 1950.

    Actually, most taxicabs in Romania aren't painted yellow. I don't even remember when I last saw a yellow-painted cab here. Instead, pretty much everyone leaves the car's color as it is but applies a yellow auto sticker over it.


    If you check out the "bloated" bit near the left side of the license plate, you can see that the Logan pictured in this article also has a vinyl over what appears to be a red paint.


    Cheers from Romania and congrats for your awesome blog! :)

    Actually, if we're seeing chromed and gold-plated cars, why doesn't someone cadmium-plate a car? The weird yellowish-gold color with the pinkish overtones would look stunning in a high gloss on a Veyron, wouldn't it? Sure, it would be toxic, but doesn't that apply to the Veyron owners anyway

    I wouldn't fear short-term exposure, but what if you had been around it for 30 years? I guess they don't mind, as long as the Logans run.

    Those Romanians sure have had a rough go of it, first vampires, then commies and now this.


    In this country I find it interesting that the government has all but outlawed the use of cadmium plating and will no longer issue new permits to plate with it. But then turns around and requires its use on military hardware and will not change the mil spec requirements, I find this highly hypocritical. There are many fine alternatives to cadmium that are more effective and cheaper.


    (Shops that plated with cadmium in the past are grandfathered in, but as plating shops go out of business no one is allowed to take their place)

    Peter, your posts are awesome. Really. You're kind of a European Murilee.


    The off the wall, tangentially related posts you come up with really help break up the monotony of straight news.


    Don't get too excited, though. Murilee is still my first love and, as soon as she lifts that restraining order, I'm moving to Alameda to be closer to the saucy minx.
