| Cars in Japan
I have been in Japan for the past 3 days.
the car culture here is quite different. THEY LIKE AMERICAN cars! 
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  )
GTR in a Japanese home garage in Nagoya 
Charger? in Tokyo 
Camaro (corrected) under Rainbow Bridge 
S-Class in Ginza

^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.

RB-powered family wagon FTMFW. | 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
