I don’t want to hear anyone complaining. The HIGHWAYS here in Japan are 80 KM/Hr, thats just under 50. Then you get to your back roads posted as 30 KM/hr. Then you get your old people driving 20 or less in a 30... How long can you idle in first gear trying not to run into the old person driving in front of you?

As long…

Tsukuba Circuit, Japan.

Small road course will push manufacturers to build smaller more nimble cars that handle better at lower speeds instead of the all out, pedal to the metal “ring runs” that we are use to.

I’ve been to this circuit. Its small. It’s awesomely perfect, all stuck out in the rice patties about 3 hours…

I’ve never been more comfortable through an “off the dirt pile” experience, than the day I flew in a Ford Explore. Five stars. Excellent ride quality during ground impact, both times. The poor old suspension launched the truck into the air again after the first impact.

Great quality! Would jump again!!

Subaru Baja

Give us a coupe version. Lose more weight.

Time to buy a deuce and a half.

Very true. Same idea as buying an RV. Stateside you can buy a 30ft RV thats as tall or taller than a small box truck. Drive it as much as you want on a regular drivers license as long as it doesn't have air brakes.

Buying a boat. Those boats with 1,000 hp and over 30ft long that people run up and down rivers while…

Is that an AMC Eagle/Spirit?

Oh, wait it's a Volvo.

After trying drifting for a while I turned to Gymkhana. Not the Ken Block kind, but sanctioned events here in Japan. It's more fun than drifting.

I'm always down to slide though.

I just want to know why the photographer thought it was a sub base.

Come visit me down in Okinawa.

StaceyS has it right. They are all over here. Very common. If I remember correctly the clip is a Japanese clip.

As far as electric vs Nitro power, Nitro is a blast but very tedious. Brushless is the way to go. Had em both. Easier with brushless.

Do yourself the favor early, get it into your head that this is not a sim-racer. This is arcade at its finest. The massive map and mini challenges as well as hidden cars make the game a lot of fun on a night off. Grab some beers and the Live friends and have a blast.
The story is a bit lame but you don't buy a…

Do we have heists yet?

Was any one else waiting for one to bounce back? On that note, where are they all going?

I'll have one in pink please. With a curly tail.

I gave it nice price because turbo V8 for under 5k...

It's difficult to say "THIS company" because of how convoluted the whole playing field is. Cadillac is Chevrolet, Tesla didn't even have a production car yet, Lexus is just another Toyota ect ect.

Maybe I just need a nap.

Stateside based airlines have worse service and quality of foods than some of the Japanese/asia based airlines I have used. The one exception has been Southwest, who bumped me up to first class the last time I returned home(Christmas 2 years ago). Currently working my way home now and interested to see how my flights…
