Let us first acknowledge that the glittering jewels around the logo and grille are probably fake. But what kind of car would draw attention to itself with such gaudiness? Is it camp? Is it social status? Spotted at Sanlitun on Sunday, this car will never believe it’s beautiful no matter how many leers it attracts. What does deficiency... Read more »
Wearing what could possibly be a fake Lakers jersey and shorts. We think one of his feet is in a plastic tub. The video description says he’s like the wind, which would only be true if the wind lik shimmies like his. Nothing else is known. Youku video for those in China after the jump.
