The FX is probably the best vehicle Infiniti/Nissan has come out with in a long time. Looks baller slammed. Look like a god damn Tonya/hot wheels truck with ATs. 20 years old and rivals an FD RX7 for timeless looks lol.

I'd come out once autox is back in Richmond. Mission is just no bueno to drive an hour out for 6mins of seat time.

At least in the foreseeable future, I think they are all in Richmond at the Adesa lot now. Getting to the pad has never been easier, even when it is in the middle of nowhere LOL~

After 10.5 years of ownership, I have sold the Bluick to a guy in Ontario. He received it 2 days later and it's already roadworthy. Just a hair over 94,000 original KM. Rare blue on blue interior.

I'll never find another one like this and I don't care. When I stop thinking about something, that means it's time to sell. It's nice having one less thing on your chest too. I have 3 cars left and will probably sell one more



PS: There was a Shelby Series 1 in this trailer. My car was easily the poorest on that rig

Just don’t sell the roflcopter van or the Infiniti. The world will be that much poorer if you sell those.

Once a Kia Farte was dumped on my Dad's brain, I knew which one had to go and it was neither the van nor the vajayjay30

Hi guys, not sure if you guys saw this yet, but this is the first of three episodes Larry Chen did from his stay in Hong Kong. My NSX and Beat are in the video.

He says if you drive by the police with a car that has been modified, even just the wheels, you will be harassed. Is it really that bad?

Is this new?

Larry probably is one of the best, if not THE best car content guys out there. So detailed and genuinely wants to learn about the people and culture. Love all his travel type series’

It is really that bad -- although it would happen more often with cars that the police associates with street racing / "illegal" modifications -- ie. almost anything Honda, some Mitsubishi, GIT / Scirocco. Euro cars used to see less harassments, esp high end and supercars. But in the recent years, the brains of the HK police seem to have turned into even more ridiculous piles of shxt, and there have been crackdowns against those too, often including cars that are totally stock.

Also bear in mind that a lot depends on the discretion of the police officer.

yes, really bad. Don't expect I can criticize HK cops on the internet here. You can imagine the situation here, I got fined from dropping off friends at MTR station twice last week.

Yeah, I hear you. I saw quite a few umbrella related videos and can imagine if Cain had to power to come after us for calling him a murdering, sex pest who is too stupid to understand how decimal meters work, then I might not share my thoughts so freely either.

Used to be okay before the 2019 social movement, then it went downhill and gov't is in high debt. One way to get money without imposing new tax is raising all kind of fines.

Midnight street racing happens every weekend. It gives the gov't excuse to crack down modded cars by setting up road blocks. We all doubt police knows much about cars or even own one, so even WRX with stock big wing get impounded. Usually we see a group of traffic cops standing around, open up the hood wondering what is missing and has been modified.

It's quite bad. For me it's still okay as I'm not in a high - heat area. They totally do not like gatherings. If it's not a roadblock specifically (cash grab) for modified cars, they usually dont' pull me off the side of the road even though my cars are super modified (unlike what you guys get, Captain Cain who's got a chip on his shoulder). But if you gather a lot of people... Since 2019 they really don't like gatherings.
