    That’s a winged victory hood ornament, so it’s a Rolls Royce, not a Bentley.

    Wikipedia notes that at 9 mpg (city), this was “the least fuel-efficient car in its class.” [link]

    Oops. It’s a winged “B”, not a winged victory. So a Bentley it is.

    We happened to see that Bentley being parked by its owner. He was not going to the Art Fair but apparently works right in the building near where he parked it; it seemed that he couldn’t get into his usual parking spot on the building’s lot because it was roped off.

    I wonder if the Bentley owner paid to have that meter bagged.

    @ 5 Jim

    I’m sure it couldn’t cost much more than the price of an Ann Arbor parking ticket. Might even be less.

    BTW, the bike in front of the Bentley is mine. Against both reason and experience, I am starting to bike to work.

    Don’t tell my mom

    @2 Vox

    My guess is that the reason to own a Bentley is to park it, not to drive it.

    Enjoyed your observation.
