[QUOTE=Bonzai11;52133735]Slowly filling the back window of my Lexus with anime stickers, it's a ton of fun. Anyone have any info on where to find these meets? Going to Japan Saturday and I completely forgot to research that section of my todo's.[/QUOTE] Daikoku futo pa in Tokyois a very popular meeting area for all scenes, but you need a car to get there. There's other popular spots you can probably very easily find with a Google, I can't remember other names

I'm not one of those people who feels the need to shit on manga/anime or make weeb jokes even though it isn't my interest, but noting that, this something I will never understand or get behind.

I wouldn't want my car to look like that though.

What a waste. All it does is look gaudy as fuck. :disappoint:

lol it's almost as if japan doesn't have an entirely different culture that incorporates this sort of stuff

Well, at least they're self-aware that they're cringe cars

p.mu also sponsors a super formula team (japan's highest level of open-wheel racing, similar to indycar in the us) [t]https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s750x750/sh0.08/e35/15276752_224841284611755_3989042672496017408_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTM5NjEyNDMwNTIzODg1NzA2MA%3D%3D.2[/t] [t]http://horobox.co.uk/u/5fO4o4.jpg[/t]

I can appreciate some of the designs until the half naked 12 year old is plastered over it.

props to the red comet zaku themed car.

I just realized those guys in the background at :55 were dressed in German gear. Why?

[QUOTE=genpung;52141304]I just realized those guys in the background at :55 were dressed in German gear. Why?[/QUOTE] Will be part of their "theme"

All those cars seem expensive as heck

[QUOTE=green bandit;52142370]All those cars seem expensive as heck[/QUOTE] Depends on perspective. In the US they would be expensive as fuck but jap cars are way more common in japan and aren't affected by the fast and furious tax so a legendary 90s sports car won't cost as much there as it does here. Even a brand new GTR which is like $150k here is like $80k there but their tax code makes it more expensive to own that that from what I heard

[QUOTE=Dr.C;52140557]Itasha makes cars indestructible [img]http://i.imgur.com/zx85onH.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] more like ikasha

[QUOTE=Highwind017;52131787]Yeah, they sure know how to be subtle about these things. Nothing is safe from this, not even guns. [sp]Well, Airsoft Guns but the point still stands.[/sp][/QUOTE] Oh I've seen it on real guns too. Frankly, I plan on doing an AR itajuu (I guess you could call it) at some point.
