Yea, I've only seen that a one or two stores around Zama. Of course this was back in '93.

That could definitely have something to do with it. I`ve only been here since '98.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

i love the idea of the cars, i mean they use them, but the roads are smaller, and the cars are smaller, and theres more rules imposed on them and the environment is better.. yay




there is one true love in my life.. and sadly it will be fate that will have to hold us together
the light will continue to shine for all..

Gah! How to prefer a Toyota or Nissan in front of a Mustang Nothing sounds so good as a real american v8 engine *shivers* that is real music ( I know I know.. This is a Japan inspired forum.. But still gosh... ) american muscle cars with a big v8. (Ok ok... I would not say no if someone got the idea to give me an brand new skyline or supra)


Enjoy every second, every minute of life, it will never come back again.

A: Gas prices
B: Engine longevity

:P I don`t trust Nissan though. We had a car from them and it`s engine failed in the weirdest way. (Pistons detached and flew out of their little spots!)
Toyota though - I don`t think we`ll ever buy a different brand.

Remember, people may think gas in the US is expensive, but in Japan we`re paying $1.20/liter (as of yesterday when I filled the tank) - That`s like $5 a gallon. And the prices are sort of low right now.
There is no way someone could convince me to drive a car that consumes gas like there is no tomorrow, that starts rusting in less than a year (FORD!!!), and that`s engine is expected to fatally fail in some area within 3 years (ie. Every US car my family has ever owned.)

Plus, I prefer the engine to be quiet while I`m driving. I like the inside of the car to be... peaceful. To each his own, but I`ll never drive a US car again.
