In Rhode Island (East Coast USA) for a wedding and spotted this Pagoda — turns out the building complex is a car condo place.

Saw my first one there in 1965 at Quonset Point Naval Air Station. Love at first sight!

Parked very close to a mobile hazard!

My sister-in-law has one in East Greenwich.  Rhode Island is a beautiful place to drive around in the summertime.  Newport, Jamestown, etc.

What's with the "keep right" signs? An election thing?? ;)

I think the "keep right" (to be read in the mirror by the person in front) is to remind folks that left lane is for Passing!   Many in the USA seem to not follow this convention of left lane is for passing (when traffic is light to allow this).

If we were allowed such signs on our cars in the UK, i'm not so sure they would be so polite

I’ve often thought a dot matrix light bar with various messages would be a fun (if dangerous) addition.

Great minds think alike........I had the same idea.......many times I would like to send a message to those lefties who hog the road and won't let anyone by as well as the rude motorists who cut you off within inches..........those kinda folks are notorious in Florida.  Have had this done to me soooo many times.
