DOTS: Bavarian Mazda MX5 NB

On our way to Hungary I spotted this Mazda MX5 NB parked in the hotel parkinglot:

The licenseplates in Germany identify the area of registration by its first characters. In this case the car came from Lindau (Bodensee) because the first characters are LI.

The owner of this panda red Levin AE86 must have thought his car was just the opposite of the panda white Trueno:

The writing says Maeda Tomato Shop (private) and what is the opposite of tofu-white panda? Right: tomato red panda!
