    Actually, that would be assault & battery. He smacked a coworker upside the head because the hotel restaurant was closed.

    Looking around YT I find it amazing how many USDM enthusiasts there are in Japan. Also annoying how they seem to glom on to the worst parts of US car culture - brotanks, lowrider-wannabe subcompacts, exaggerated "flush" fitment, ground-scraping "street trucks" that have almost certainly had their cargo beds hacked up for suspension clearance, even high-risers. Stupid little detail items like car bras and gold badges also tend to show up. (Apparently, there are some sensibly modified car about too).

    The thing is, I probably can't claim to represent USDM tuning any more than these guys do, since I may or may not have a slightly non-mainstream sense of style (I don't even know myself).

    It is interesting to see that Toyota and GM full-size trucks and SUVs tend to roll with parking lights but no headlights in Japan too. (where I live it's illegal to drive with your parking lights alone, for obvious reasons, but it still happens, usually with the aforementioned makes, usually with Chevy Express vans and Toyota Tundra trucks. Must be something about the light controls that makes it easy to do that by mistake.)

    atleast they do get the cool side of American car culture like muscle cars.


    talking about American cars in japan I wonder how many 2015 ford mustangs are going to arrive in japan? (asking this because New Zealand does get a lot of used Japanese imports)

    On that note, mountain pass + sleeper full-size landship = MAXIMUM TROLLING! It's never happened that I know of, but watching a rusted-out woodside outrun a Skyline GT-R is something I'd pay good money to see.

    New concept from Toyota, the S-FR. Looks pretty cool.

    I want whatever the Japanese are on if they're creating vehicles that look like that. The colors they're seeing must be amazing.

    I like it... It somehow puts me in mind of a Suzuki Cappuccino.

    To be fair, I find most cars today horrendously ugly, so I am a little desperate/easy to please for something nice :p

    Speaking of which, Bathurst is on this weekend. I'll have to remember to watch it.
