How cool is this toaster? It’s a genuine item from Volkswagen Japan. Unfortunately, they’re not for sale. Volkswagen are giving them to the first 5000 customers bringing their car in for an inspection.

They look like 2 different models. The one on top looks more porcelain or metal. The one on bottom looks plastic. The bottom one has a dent in the center of the bumper. And they both toast opposite.

"It’s a genuine item from Volkswagen Japan."

HMMMmmmm.....

Ship bus to Japan and back = $5000 + airfare, etc....

Inspection at dealer = $50-100?

I'm already working on my wooden replica for the mold I'll have to make to start knocking off the counterfeits
