Re:Back from Japan 56k no way

Aaron, I am completely mad at you for not letting me be you for the last week. Whatupwitdat?
I would have made a deal to have a RHD crx shipped to me. I just know I would.
Looks like good times.
With my "family" discount on airline tickets, I bet it would be about $100 round trip to go, I just don't have the time, but one day I will.

Oh, and thanks for the tons of pics. This post will bring the integrity back to the forum from these -----s.

yeah they are very respectfull and polite. I lived in japan for 3 years cause my dad was in the navy and i honestly have to say I miss that place. I dont remember what cars i've seen but i remember my brother telling me he saw skylines all the time when we were down there. I want a skyline so bad :'( Awesome pics man ;)

Re:Back from Japan 56k no way

my buddy whos been to japan says that hondas are like hyundai here, everyone there who wants to make their car fast drives nissans and ----, not hondas. and the older your car gets, the more often it has to be inspected, and the more you pay in taxs, if you own a older car, you really really love your car, you just don't own one cause its old a cheap to buy.

Re:Back from Japan 56k no way

Nice pics..did you see any VIP styled cars?

Oh yeah that one car is a Toyota Chaser. http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...MXk1NDE%3D.jpg

K cars are actually really popular in Japan and so are vans. Those Previas we used to have here are called Estimas there and they have quite a following.

And the Stagea wagon is basically a Skyline GTR in station wagon form.

And yes we do get the Toyota Soarer here in the States its called the Lexus SC300/SC400.
