while i was in Camboda, i was thumbing through a ridiculous wad of bills (about 4,000 Cambodian riels = 1 US dollar) when i got a good look at the back of the 500 riel bill. i saw a depiction of the Kizuna bridge spanning the Mekong river, symbolizing a modern Cambodia but a second, closer look revealed two tiny (identical) cars on the bridge. recognize it? it’s the Honda (Acura) NSX.

aside from the fact that only a relative handful of people in Cambodia can actually afford one, how spectacular is it that the Honda NSX has made it onto legal tender?

congratulations today to Sébastien Loeb for claiming his sixth consecutive World Rally Championship in Wales and to Valentino Rossi who clinched his ninth Motorcycle Grand Prix World Championship in Malaysia. what an age we live in!

a sinister black Nissan GT-R tore past me the other day, the roar of its V6 eclipsed only by the high-pitched squeal of its blowoff valve; the duet echoed violently throughout the concrete, glass and steel canyon and struck fear in the hearts of men. unbelievable.
