Well, they didn't get any on the seats. That means it's better than maaco.

Also, seeing that the youtube douche who replaced the whole aluminum crash structure of his salvage evora with chunks of booger welded steel, and somehow got that on the road, i wouldn't go near an american rebuilt vehicle.

When does he learn what happens when you guestimate how crumple zones work, and have 4 point harnesses with no airbag?

Is it gonna be like when dale learned how the hans device works?

I had one where I'd probably have had less brain trauma without a helmet, but I wouldn't have half of my face. (Landed in sand, modular helmet tilted and focused the impact.)

For a bit more you can have this one instead

How long can you drive around in the US for with Canadian plates? As a way around the 25 year rule. I see Florida plates here all the time on cars. But that's more of a tax/license evasion thing.

My boss used to drive one of those and apparently the real killer feature on them was that you could prop the doors open while you're driving around and get a lovely breeze going through the interior in the summer.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Yeah, it's not that bad in an LLV, and they have a wide track and only side view mirrors. Biggest problem for me was always accidentally getting into the passenger seat of my own car after driving one of them around all day.

A lounge singer called me out as American at a bar in Ireland after he saw me going to the wrong side. It's so weird when you open the door and everything is missing.

I also sometimes open the back door of a 4-door car after driving 2-door cars for a stretch. Just walk up from the back and grab the first handle you see.

Holy poo poo I owned this exact Skyline when i lived in Japan, except mine had slotted alloys. Same color, turbo 5 speed wagon. It was awesome, I should see if I can dig up the pic I have of it.

Also I paid like 2 grand for it, this one is almost 20 :v:

One of my buddies had the exact version of that car as a sedan (RS Turbo). Lot of us had R30's because When the R32 came out they got dirt cheap and most of them had turbos.

Man I really miss the car culture in Japan, I was there when poo poo was really taking off and was too young and dumb to recognize it.

I was in the military (AF) and lived there for 3 years in late 89 into 92. I experienced the drift culture way before it got to the states, I was way more into bikes at the time but we would go up into the mountains and sit at hairpin turns watching guys drift their Corollas, and the bikes would come through to see who could lean fastest through the turn. I would be riding mountain passes with friends and have groups of drifters fly by us, or groups of Japanese squids on bikes trying to race us. It was lots of fun and I miss it, wish I would have taken more pics and brought a Corolla home with me :(
