A clutch of tiny cars was just waiting to be photographed. As I turned this hot pink Snoopy car over in my hands, I noticed the tiny lettering on the hood. I could just barely make out the word “Honda” under all that enamel paint. I was surprised, since most of the vehicles felt like generic cars not meant to trample on any car brand’s intellectual property. As I examined it closer, I made out the word “Vamos” on the side of the car, just outside the back seat.
A google search later and sure enough, the Honda Vamos was a thing. My mind reeled! I love tiny Japanese Kei cars. I could get one and paint it hot pink, just like Snoopy.
