Oh, I was thinking Dave from Wendy's isn't here, and that's why there's no grille.

Way to go to the photographer for capturing the moment. Admiral Chew and Rin-Tin poring over the Japanese concept car is a priceless image.

Is it a complete coincidence that "Dave's Not Here" is a restaurant in Santa Fe which is rumored to have been so named because the owner went away because he failed his own customs search? Or is there a fe head on the Jalopnik staff?

Maybe they thought this was some sort of an illegal composite material canoe on its way to the Olympics!?!?!

POLAЯ is taking his work underground. He can't let it fall into the wrong hands again!

I heard the Mazda was also protested against several times on its trip to China for its support of the Beijing auto show.

Although no drugs were found per se, the drug sniffing dog at one point apparently licked the Taiki's paintwork, and was later observed eating an entire ten pound bag of kibble and snickering and staring at objects for long periods of time.

The customs agents were secretly photographing it and getting the specs. Lime green knock-offs will be pouring out of Chinese sweat shops in about two weeks for $2500.
