I’ll just leave this here. If you are ever in France and you love automobiles you owe it to yourself.

you must’ve been pleasantly surprised like me when you saw Yakushimaru in the role of the veteran singer in Amachan... (i couldn’t find a better video on youtube)

So awesome :) These sorts of cars are so unloved. If you look hard enough you can find all manner of vintage European and American cars on the roads in most of the world. Not so with vintage Japanese cars. The Japanese don’t drive them, but either does anybody else.

I love the sheer ridiculousness of the F355 vs Supra race. Aside from the obvious strange factors, there is the fact that a stock Supra TT would keep up with an F355 in a drag race. Apparently a seriously modified Supra is barely quicker than low 13’s at 109mph. Ha! /pedantic rant Read more
