If only my car came with an artificial "wasserfall" feature. "Non tradition luxury cars" the American calls the drawer for solcherlei vehicle. "Tiki the Truck" presented on of Los Angeles opened on 7 January the car show; offers an artificial wasserfall, which pours into the Jacuzzi on the loading area. Clearly that Teakholz lining, "frozen drink machine" and "portable barbeque" also to the equipment belong.

The graphics on the sides are cool, but they should have painted the truck a diff color. the upholstery work (sewing is detailed) but thos colors are off and they used too many of them.
