Not strictly with a press car, more a press outlet to see some cars - but as a penniless 18 year old back in 2005, I blagged my way into the Brisbane Motor Show for free by borrowing my father's DSLR, loading pictures of a few tuner cars from local auto mags and supercars spotted around the Gold Coast on my camera,…

Yeah, me too. Assholes swinging them around, getting smoke in my eyes and shit, it's just horrible.

Neighboring country? Kia Ora, mate.

Yeah, the whole incident he's talking about was a bit of a storm in a teacup, really, and quickly forgotten by all but the biggest pearl-clutchers.

I'm somewhat impressed that - at least at the time of this comment - nobody is posting about that dumb old myth about Australia banning small boobs in porn, which was literally never true, it was a press release from a fringe political party based on a rumor.

Yeah, but it's pretty lax, despite dumb internet rumors. The US also bans some porn, too - the US can and does ban any porn deemed to be "obscene" or "immoral", on top of the stuff that's explicitly banned, like child porn.

He's talking about a bit on the Hey Hey it's Saturday revival a few years back, when an Indian bloke put on dark makeup to do a skit as young Michael Jackson. We'd react pretty severely to a traditional black-makeup-big-red-lips minstrel show.

Some people defended it - just like literally every other issue in the world…

Ah, the mighty Tim Tam slam. I've made friends for life internationally by teaching them this one simple trick.

I'm suprised that "Love the beast" didn't make the cut. I mean, sure, REDLINE (The animated one) is a little more obscure and animated movies maybe not for everyone, but I really don't get how you could skip "Love the Beast."

Still better in turn than the unskippable ubi post-game credits, which are just about as long as the game itself.

HA! Talk about behind the times, Brisbane City Public Transport has been powered by bullshit for years.

HA! You look at my van, and you know there's thousands of cars around the world wearing my livery.

So, what I'm wondering is - What about all those people who were commenting all over Jalop and reddit about how this definitely must be a viral marketing stunt, and posting detailed explanations about how it couldn't possibly be anything else have to say about this?

Not strictly from a car company, but rather, a state transport department in Australia, but too good not to share:

"I wonder what anime will look like thirty years from now."

"Look ma, there comes a time in a young boy's life, when he starts to notice tiny little Japanese utes with huge engines grafted in. It's perfectly normal, perfectly natural. Just, uh, knock first, yeah?"

Oh man, I was there when Kranky showed us a new definition of "Lighting 'em up", it was NUTS.

Still, this has gotta take first place for most adorable burnout.

Congrats! In celebration, here's a V8 powered Kei-ute laying down some clouds.

On the upside, your comment just reminded me that I haven't been to /r/cars today. On the downside, you got /r/cars in my Jalopnik.

I'll give the anime one thing over the manga - when it's in colour, rather than black and white, it's about ten times easier to keep track of what the bloody fuck is going on during fight scenes. I mean, you can deduce it from the aftermath of any particular attack, but there's a lot of occasions where it's hard to…
