I Love Japan: The Rvinyl Team! Gets International!!!

Some people are surprised to find out that people in Croatia have cars. It should come as no surprise then that these same people are flabbergasted to discover that they also have computers, internet connections and an insatiable desire to cover the interiors of their vehicle with the sweetest vinyl dash kits know to man! Yes, it sounds unbelievable but, really, why is it so hard to disunbelieve that people in Eastern Europe would appreciate fine vinyl graphics products? It isn't and in what follows I'll make a convincing case for why you may want to order our products if you ever move to a country other than the United States of America and Her Divinely Mandated Colonies.

Do you like my jpeg? I hope so because I stole it in order to illustrate the various means of conveyance by which your The Rvinyl Team! product may arrive at your doorstep, yurt or igloo. That's right, whether by land, sea air or land (I'm trying to be true to the jpeg's depiction), The Rvinyl Team! is dedicated to vinyling whatever it is you may want to
vinylize. From the steppes of Central Asia, to the pampas of the South American lowlands we will ship to you anything that your heart desires that can be ordered from our website. So, what are some of the most exciting places to which The Rvinyl Team! has shipped?

Well, Japan for one. The Japanese have lovingly furnished us with some of the most popular cars for modification but are surprisingly reticent when it comes to purchasing the plethora
of products which we have designed for their vehicles. Unfortunately, there seems to be a somewhat wishy-washy adherence to a standard steering wheel configuration (for more on this mysterious steering wheel configuration click here) on the part of Japanese manufacturers. Why is it that Mitsubishi ( a name which one can almost be sure is Japanese in origin) doesn't make its domestic models RHD like the rest of the cars on the road in said country? No idea but this good-natured customer seem to take our mistake rather well with a kind of Hello-Kitty sensibility about the whole thing:
This is a man who paid $15 plus to return a kit to us via Global Express Mail and he actually takes the time to provide cute illustrations to help us in sending him the right kit. I Love Japan.

The Rvinyl Team!: Fighting Macular Degeneration One Windshield At A Time


According to Wikipedia a visor is a surface that protects the eyes, such as shading them from the sun or other bright light or protecting them from objects. Types of visors include:-
  1. A type of hat consisting only of a visor and a way to fasten it to the head.
  2. The transparent or semi-transparent front part of a motorcycle crash helmet
  3. Any such vertical surface on any hat or helmet.
  4. Any such horizontal surface on any hat or helmet (called a peak in British English).
  5. The part of a helmet in a suit of armor that protects the eyes.
  6. A device in an automobile that the driver or front passenger can lower over part of the windshield to block the sun.
  7. A shield to protect the eyes from sunlight on a flight helmet, or an American football helmet.
Only the 6th (and possibly the 2nd) iteration of the denotation really has anything to do with The Rvinyl Team! and I should probably relax with all of the superfluous info but I just can't help myself. Consequently, I'll endeavor to keep the rest of the post a little more succint and work on being more parsimonious. Speaking of parsimony, let's find out what Vinylbot 3K has to say about The Rvinyl Team!'s visor kits:

The Rvinyl Universal Windshield Visor Kits is an exterior enhancement for your vehicle. Providing an aggressive non-permanent enhancement to your vehicle's exterior, visor kits block harmful UV rays so you can keep your eyes peeled on the green light. They may also be used in conjunction with our 36" windshield decals.

Wow! Not only is that extremely informative but the subject of the verb in the first sentence is plural whereas the copula is conjugated in the third person singular! But, wait, there's more:

The Rvinyl® Universal Windshield Visor Kits® is an exterior enhancement for your vehicle. It may be removed without damaging the exterior of your vehicle. It was designed for individuals wishing to "tune" the exterior of their vehicles while not damaging their resale value.

Okay, same problem with the first sentence but I'm enchanted to discover that our windshield visor kits are effective in blocking out UV light and do not damage the resale value of your vehicle. Sweet! But what is macular degeneration anyway? Heres a link: a link. Actually, it's not that funny but there's little chance that any blind people will be reading this.

The Rvinyl Team! Presents: Wine and Vinyl Pairings (a cura di Ghoti)

Remember...The wine and the vinyl should complement each other ,not battle
against each other.
One way to de
cide is to remember the saying,
"Simple wines with complex vinyls...Complex wines with simple vinyls."
But there is a balance to be struck.
It's important not to have too complex a flavor overpower a simpler vinyl.
Or a simpler flavor simply drowned out by something strong (say an
'Outrageous Orange').


These guidelines may seem confusing and may actually be contradictory...
but these are in fac
t the rules that most connoisseurs agree on.
This should succeed in eliminating any 'logic' you might try to impose on the
process.

And our status as experts should make you dis-regard your own personal
judgements


Anyone can see that a Bravo Burl calls for a strong red ( a Merlot perhaps),
but for the finer
points of vinyl/ wine pairings you mi
ght need help.
We've spent countless hours researching the finer point of vinyl and
alcohol.

Trust our expert judgement below.



Outrageous Orange


An off-dry German Riesling with it's slight sweetness, and somewhat acidic
taste, makes a good foil for the spicyness
of this vinyl. But if you can't stand Germans...A White Zinfandel with a
lighter body
combines the same off-dry qualities and is a good second choi
ce.





Humvee Hunter

A more bitter and astringen
t vinyl...here you'll want to complement with a
more full-flavored forward wine.
A good Cab (that's rich people slang for a Cabernet Sauvignon), or a Merlot
complement this nicely.




Radical Red


These are more acidic vinyls and require a wine with a similarly high
acidity just to hang with them.
The sheer radicalness of this would be enough to destroy most American red
wines.

A French Pinot Noir is what is called for.
The french more radical than us? No, but wine is one of the few battles that
they can claim victory in.




Tuff Teal


Despite touting it's tuffness, this is actually a very delicate vinyl. A
white Bordeaux
with it's delicate bouquet will go nicely. You may even want to consider a
sparking wine.
Remember, champagne is for the unsophisticated who know nothing about wine,
a Prosecco is a better
choice.




Girlie Girl Pink


If you are truly a girle girl then you need a wine that is the furthest
tasting from actual alcohol or grapes.
This is definitely a candidate for a fruity rose'. Or an Australian Shiraz
(which the rest of the world calls a Sirrah...
English speaking country my ass...)

Thanks Ghoti!
