!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I wanna go to see awesome cars driving around, to see grassroots drifting in the country it started in, to eat wacky doritos, to use those weird hot and cold food vending machines, to buy a car for 300 yen and hoon it around for a week. To drive up and down the mountain roads and genuinely be culture-shocked.
Japan is the one place I want to visit before I leave this planet. Everything about it seems so awesome.
Gahhhh so much awesome car stuffs that just doesn't seem to exist here. Mixed in with big neon signs and cool highway systems and delicious sounding food. I wanna go so bad.

I'm going to Japan in the summer! (I hope)
I'm heading to Kyoto to enjoy the local heritage, but apparently there's an interesting car scene there too!
This is the Speedhunters article about car culture in Kyoto - hopefully I'll get a chance to see something...

If you can find a car for 300 yen, by 1000 of them. Not kidding. I'll front you the 300,000 yen. Bring them all back with you. Much profit will be had.

It'll probably be a tiny little kei car, like the MCM guys bought, but I would kill to import it back.

You do realize 300 Yen is $3.00 USD...right?

Yup, they bought a car that was gonna be scrapped anyway for 350 yen. I'm sure one could find another kei car bound for the crusher for that miniscule amount of money.

Indeed, I'd rather go to Japan as well, but can see the same cars cheaper in other places :P My stepbrother has been living in Japan for a while -.- when he first moved there he got a Alteza, not sure what he's got now, he had a UK spec E36 M3 he wanted to take with him from England but ended up not doing it, not he wishes he did because it'd be a super rare car for Japan

Yea I wonder if the guy they bought it from sold it solely because they were all friendly.
