Tiny Mitsubishi Bravo Microvan Is Making Waves In California
However, as you might have guessed, they never made it to U.S. shores. Quite frankly, they’re too tiny for the majority of Americans that live by the old saying, “bigger is better”. That doesn’t mean some of us don’t appreciate a good Kei car, truck or van when we see one, which is why we think you’ll be pretty stoked to meet Los Angeles native, Joe Dashtoyan and his 1994 Mitsubishi Bravo Super Exceed. See all 28 photos Most people that drop a lot of money on a right-hand-drive JDM import would invest into something like a Skyline or Silvia.

Halsey Addresses Grammys Snub: ‘It’s Not Always About the Music or Quality or Culture’
Women ruled the 2021 Grammy nominations list that was unveiled on Tuesday, but there was a name noticeably missing: Halsey. After spending a few days to ruminate on yet another snub, the pop star took to Instagram stories to get some things off her chest. “I’ve been thinking and wanted to choose my words carefully because a lot of people have extended sympathy and apology to me since the Grammy nominations,” she wrote. “The Grammys are an elusive process. It can often be about behind the scenes private performances, knowing the right people, campaigning through the grapevine, with the right handshake and ‘bribes’ that can be just ambiguous enough to pass as ‘not bribes.’” If artists were able to manage any of these political tactics, Halsey also suggested having to commit “...

Halsey Speaks Out After 2021 Grammy Nominations Snub: ‘It’s Not Always About the Music’
The 26-year-old pop star’s exclusion from the 2021 Grammy nominations came as a surprise to many, given that her recent album, Manic, featured the hit song “Without Me,” which reached No. 1 on the Hot 100. To date, the singer has not been nominated in a Big Four (album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist) category at the Grammys. “The Grammys are an elusive process,” Halsey continued in her post. “It can often be about behind the scenes private performances, knowing the right people, campaigning through the grapevine, with the right handshake and ‘bribes’ that can be just ambiguous enough to pass as ‘not bribes.'” She added that many politics go into receiving a Grammy nomination, including “...
Francia Raisa Responds to ‘Saved by the Bell’ Reboot Joking About Selena Gomez’s Kidney Transplant
In addition to their public apology, the team behind the new Saved by the Bell said they have been in touch with Gomez’s representatives and plan to make a donation to The Selena Gomez Fund for Lupus Research at USC. In the sixth episode of the reboot, which premiered last week, two students at Bayside High argue over who donated a kidney to Gomez in 2017 after she had been diagnosed with lupus years earlier. “I know for a fact that Selena Gomez’s kidney donor was Justin Bieber‘s mom. God, I wish that I had my phone so that I could prove it,” one character says. The other student replies, “Prove what? That you’re an idiot? It was Demi Lovato‘s kidney. They’re best friends, like you and I were.” In a later scene, the words “Does Selena Gomez even have a kidney?”...
