On Sunday I followed a Pious with large shiny chrome wheelz on it.
The following day I saw the same Pious with a yellow donut on the RF in place of the krome rim.

On another note, I am frequently passed by women flogging their Piouses (pioux?) at at least ten over the 70mph limit. I keep to 75 max.

So it seems that these cars are now changing hands...the Bling.
It also looks like the pious owners are now comfortable with open hypocrisy...hence the (un-green speeding).

I thought Tommy Kaira went bankrupt.

I don't think it looks that bad. Alot better than the white goods variant straight from Toyota.
