Other than the translation of my car's name as "Pleiades". That's cooler than "Sprinter"...especially for something that big that gets 19 mpg. And "Sprinter" in German is...oh for god's sake, it's "Sprinter". Maybe it's one of those translations that misses the nuance, and it really means something more like "Blitzkrieg" in the original.

Yeah, my car's name rules yours! Nyah nyah!

Still, impressive example of repurposed German military transport. Imagine seeing a convoy of Sprinters heading toward your border...though they'd be some other color than that Japanese aquamarine sciatica, which is banned by the Geneva conventions and several treaties regarding inhumane antipersonnel weapons. Painting military vehicles that color is considered on a par with using cluster bombs. But other than that, impressive.

I'll just bet you don't lose it in parking lots.
