Cars in Japan
 

I have been in Japan for the past 3 days.
the car culture here is quite different. THEY LIKE AMERICAN cars! :haha:

anyways, after 3 days, i have seen 3 trends in Japan.

1. modding cars are free-for-all, i have seen LED strips, Halos, 10k HIDs, every illegal mod in Canada is A-okay in Japan. all their cars have a TV in the front!

2. Japanese ppl love the VIP clean look, 60% of the cars have wheels w/ machined lip + lowered

3. they seem to love Hummers, 300C, Chargers, Explorers.. hell, today i saw a GM Astro on the highway. LOL

some interesting pics, more to come! (sorry, they are not professional looking ones.. i only have a point and shoot :p )

what is this?

if that juice vending machine was in Vancouver it would be stolen within the hour

nissan elgrand?

On my business trip there in Nagoya, I thought they only make cars in wagon form.

Might be a Toyota Alphard van, or some kind of Nissan van. If anything, if THAT van's a'rockin'...

LOl

Nissan Elgrand Highway Star

those American cars were LHD right?

Some. It's a mixed bag when it comes to LHD or RHD here!

I'm in Shinjuku now... been here since Wed, leaving on Tues.

TONS of American cars hahaha - Mustangs, 300C, H3s, Chargers, Jeeps, etc.

Thats Yakuza-mobile dood!

^if it was yakuza it would be black

I wanna buy a mustang and bring to japan so I can trade it with a GTR :D

the japanese dudes going to be laughing at you, thinking he got the better end of the deal

I wish it was 5 years instead of 15 years for cars when it comes to owning one here!
I want an S15 ):

^4 more years dude. Not that long of a wait IMO. If anything, I'd rather have a Stagea wagon over the R34 or S15. RB-powered family wagon FTMFW.

u will also know that every car they have parked at home are a perfect fit in their garage

Gas would be $5/litre 4 years from now! I'd rather stick with the S15 :D

i'd want a stagea wagon too. they're awesome. rb26 powered so its not slow, but has a lot of potential, has a lot of space to put crap in since its a wagon. if you're into gripping around corners you can tune it to do that since its 4wd. if you're into drifting, there's a lot of mass in the back so you can swing the rear out easily to do that

the stagea wagon would be fuckin awesome to own
