I recently spotted the new Urus just one day after I saw a review of it. It's not a beautiful SUV but one can definitely tell it's a Lambo which is always a good thing. I'm also curious what the Aventador successor will look like because they always manage to bring a new (more crazy) distinctive styling to their cars so that the predecessors even start to look dated.

Surprised to hear that Japan is their 3rd biggest market,behind the US and Germany.
i wouldn't be surprised. have you seen the amount of imported european cars in tokyo alone?! they seem to have a knack for LHD american and european cars. i've read something about it but i can't remember. people seem to buy the LHD versions compared to the RHD ones sold in japan..
also did you order one while you were at the factory?

They spoke about the fact that most Japanese buyers ordered LHD versions of the car, suggesting that might make them easier to resell. The favorite color in Japan is purple,and they make at least 1 purple car every day for the Japanese market. I’m totally out of touch with what’s popular in Japan.

I'm surprised that anyone is crazy enough to drive a Lamborghini in Tokyo, or anywhere in Japan. Their streets are incredibly narrow compared to US streets.

to be fair, the symbol is a factor in that a LHD vehicle is imported and thus gives off the aura of being more expensive even if the same model is available in RHD and sold in japan. (eg. c250/a4/ 320i)
however, most of the common LHD that you see being driven around are usually sports cars. from the cars that i see around tokyo, they're usually mustangs or G63AMG and the like that are driven and imported in LHD form. the good thing about japan is, unlike australia, they have no restrictions on importing LHD models. this means that they get allocations for cars that are only built in LHD form. (eg. P1/LaFerrari/918)
i've also driven in tokyo before. took a rental GTR35 up to Mt. Fuji. For the brief time i was getting out of tokyo, traffic didn't seem mad. although it wouldn't be a logical decision to drive everywhere given the ease of public transport..

it's disturbing seeing 3 digits in temperature because that's way past the boiling point of water…

I’ve been wearing 25oz exclusively for the last six months or so. Today is the first day I wore the flag ship 21oz In a long time. It’s so light and breathable. That is all thank you

Hazelnut spread M&Ms (aka Nutella M&Ms) are not nearly as good as they sound like they should be.

Got to work in Austin, TX today. Beautiful 85F sunny day. Wore my PIHXHS as i spent non travel time in a cold office. No pics /fail. Other than this… by accident.

I have recently put nutella on fettuccine noodles with cracked red pepper and chicken. Was pretty good. Like drunk pad thai.

Japan just can't catch a break on these damn earthquakes. I didn't even know about it until my brother told me lastnight. My mom, who lives on the other side of Honshu, wasn't effected but she ended up calling me as well. I know Japan sits on the ring of fire but I was a little surprised that it happened on the Sea of Japan side.

If you are under 40 or have family under 40, it seems like now would be a great time to buy some potassium iodide (KIO3) tablets to protect your thyroid in the event of radioactive fallout. The situation seems pretty dire.
