Taken on the way back home on the freeway... Weirdly, my RX7 is as fast as a Golf 4 R32... I did NOT expect that.

If I didn’t know you lived in Japan, I’d guess that picture was taken somewhere in Wisconsin.

Really? I wasn’t aware that Wisconsin has mountains like those in the background. (I realize that these might not be visible if the photo was viewed on a cell phone.)

I am from Europe. My knowledge of what Wisconsin looks like is on par with the knowledge of the average American on what continental Europe looks like, or where it is on a map for that matter.

They stayed at a cabin he rented for the day while he was out on the lake with me...

haha yeah it’s around Nagano... The background isn’t much different with what you get in the Alps :)
Only houses and cars usually hint that you are in Japan... But with a Golf in the middle of it, it makes it look like a french or swiss background (and no, not a Wisconsinian, or however they call themselves, background haha)

EDIT: they call themselves Wisconsinites lol

Thats exactly it! Euro car + Euro-like landscape probably threw me off...

As far as the Wisconsin remark, its the first rural state that came to mind + I used to love to watch ‘That ‘70s Show’....:P

Yeah to find mountains like that in the US you have to go to Colorado... Even the Appalachians don’t cut it :)

Wisconsin isn’t that rural compared to states like Wyoming... It’s fairly flat too.

He lives in Yokohama, it’s not that far, like 2 and a half hours away :)

I drove around 700km as I’m a lot further

I miss good looking and elegant VWs so much.
