This Luce Cosmo (HB platform) is placed in a Beverly Hills surrounding with an American license plate. I’ve seen this advertising trick more often with these old commercials. Were the Japanese thinking that when a car had an American license plate and a sunny Californian setting it would be with loved by the Americans? Or has Amercian approval? Or had American style?
For sure this Luce Cosmo never made it to the US at all!
And I love the Kossumoo! at the end! :)

Casey Dhnaram (owner of Shirtstuckedin.com and journalist for Speedhunters) opened up a relief fund for Japan:
I’ve been thinking to myself over the past 24 hours, what can I possibly to do help? Fly over there and be a volunteer? Possibly! But for now I’ve setup this Earthquake Donation which 100% of the funds raised will be given directly to the Red Cross foundation of Japan and racetracks such as Ebisu Circuit which have been affected very badly as it’s located in the Fukushima region. Please donate whatever you think is necessary, every cent counts.
A very good initiative I’d definitely like to support!
BTW: I didn’t even know Ebisu was damaged by the earthquake, but you can read all about it on their blog.
So head over to Shirtstuckedin.com and donate through PayPal:

I donated earlier today and it is literally two clicks to donate! :)
Just a quick blog on news from Japan: Alexi from Nori Yaro is apparently alright an was able to blog about his experience.
Also Doriten was able to blog about it and also posted up some pretty bizarre pictures from Kiba:
Just imagine what it looks like in the Sendai prefecture! Let’s hope everyone is okay!
