Fuehrer Vagen (Farvegnazi)




I've been trying to get a shot of one of these for some time, but it seems like I only see them in traffic.   So I'm just going to lift the image from here and hope no one minds

If Hitler had lived long enough to own an SUV, this would be it.   The people at Mercedes have done a stupendous job distilling the banality and horror of evil into the shape of a car.

Not even the set designers and model-makers on the Indiana Jones movies could wring as much latent malevolance out of such an incredibly boring box.   I mean, it looks like a paddy wagon for the SS.

Hey, maybe they offer a Super Sport package!

[Update]   Alternate title!   "Farvegnazi"

Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.

Dedicated to the other side of Las Vegas, namely; the sprawling, mad, incoherent underpinnings of the world's favorite destination.

That, and the occasional ranting about nothing in particular.
