If you met this ride in a bar — or museum or charitable talk or wherever people meet people these days — we would assume such a looker was married or at the very least seriously involved. Not the case, my friends.
The Vulcano has been playing the field during an ongoing tour through the U.S. and China for the last four years. Due to lack of interest, it has now returned to Europe. Red flag.
