It can be either a car, a van, or a motorcycle, with people who look like this driving: [img_thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/JapaneseBosozoku.jpg[/img_thumb]
[quote]Bōsōzoku (暴走族?, "violent running tribe") is a Japanese subculture associated with motorcycle clubs and gangs. Japanese police call them Maru-Sō (police code マル走), and dispatch a police vehicle to trail any groups of bikes to prevent any possible incidents, which can include riding through suburbs at speeds of 5–10 miles an hour, creating a loud disturbance and waving imperial Japanese flags, to starting fights which can include weapons such as wooden swords, metal pipes, baseball bats and Molotov cocktails.[/quote]

Their motorcycles are horrid, before and after to show you...

After: [img_thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/Gsx400e.jpg[/img_thumb]
But their cars are pretty cool, I've only seen one of them so far. The exhaust is the only thing that [i]really[/i] sets me off from this car. This is from a california car

The car belongs to Andrew Abello of California, United States.
Apparantly, there is a HL2 mod called SHIFT, that will be using this 240sx as the primary car.

Q4 of 2010 (about 7-9 months from now) the mod is set to release.
So facepunch, what do you think of Japan's trend?
Bosozoku isn't any new 'trend', if you can call it that, and has been around since the [del]1970s[/del] 1950s
[editline]f[/editline]
More of a nuisance for the general public and law enforcement
Sounds kinda cool, apart from the fight stuff, but I guess that's their image being upheld. Bikes are fuck-ugly though.
They look like a bunch of fucking dumbasses.
this reminds me of the movie Tokyo Zombie. One guy had an afro, the other a weak combover, but both wanted to become real men by going to Russia.
and they drove a giant van. Ice cream truck I believe.
looks fucking stupid :colbert:
wat

1950's...
I don't think its anything special. So they look like tools and they own ugly rides. Fuck, it just makes me think that they're all assholes with horrible taste.
I want Andrew's car.
I think I'm done.

What he said was correct
[QUOTE=justin gurel;19836873]wat[/QUOTE]
Rate him optimistic.
Japanese sport cars suck.
If you disagree, stop watching Tokyo drift.
this isnt a new trend, the vans fucking rock though, you should see what they do to 18-wheelers.
You barely even showed people what bosozoku is

Great example of how subjective being "cool" is.
"Hentai Van".
What.
Oh weird, I saw this van in Saitama:

had no idea what it was until this thread. You learn something new every day[IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/rating/information.png[/IMG]
This is all those weaboos need now.
How are you gonna be hard driving around with pokemon painted on your van and hearts under your hood?
japanese chavs
Just because the Japanese created it doesn't make it cool.
[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/JapaneseBosozoku.jpg[/img]
Jesus Christ, it's like someone mashed a pride parade into an Anime Convention.
Huh, the car sort of reminds me of a rat bike. It has my approval.
God damn it Japan! Is that an engine vent on the inside of the van?!
[QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;19837802]"Hentai Van".
What.[/QUOTE]
Do you know what hentai means in japanese?
How the hell can you have a perverted van what
When I come to power, I'm going to make modifying cars punishable by death.
