Nice picture of a great ship. Too bad you couldn't get a shot
without the Jap advertising banner.

ROFL, the shot of the ship was intentional but not the primary
subject. I just thought that it would be a nice backdrop for
the IRL cars on the track.

OK, wiz, I guess you can post this to 2 NGs. I take a rather dim view
of the Japs not only because they tried to kill my father 3 times in
WWII when he was a Marine in the Pacific and they've done a job on
the American auto industry of which I am a part as much through
dumping, currency manipulation and VAT which makes their cars cheaper
here than in Japan by about 19% and American cars there more
expensive by the same 19%. Of course, American quality for decades is
also a part of the equation, but then, so are arcane rules Japan uses
to artificially restrict imports without getting tagged as
protectionists.
