And this is the most ignorant post I’ve ever seen. If the c-suite was actually of any use then the company wouldn’t have missed its goals. They wouldn’t have needed to fire 800 people if the executives had actually done their job and steered the company in the correct direction.

Why is that a big deal? All religions are “fake” in that they are just stories people tell themselves to justify whatever actions they were going to perform anyway.

There are quite a few off road parks in Japan where you can drive a new Jimny for a day over various technical courses. Jalopnik should front some cash to Ken Saito to give it a whirl for a whole day or two and do a write-up.

Neither can a CJ-5 with the stock hurricane 4. Barley with the Dauntles V-6.

To the best of my knowledge, and everything written on the Japanese version of Suzuki’s web-site, there is no convertible Jimny yet. Currently it’s only offered in one body style and there has been no announcement of any others aside from the concepts shown at the show. Wikipedia is incorrect.

I can’t speak to your knobby tire question, but as for the first one it is a matter of regulation.

By that logic chemical weapons should be legal. I mean anyone with a drugstore and an hour can make some pretty lethal shit.

That's a weird way to spell IRC.

While you got it flaunt it baby! Flaunt it!

Of course you can. Monogamous relationships are as valid as any other.

Yes? The game seems to presenting the yukata clad young lady as one of its several archetypes that the player can pursue.

Yes, it pretty much is. One of a long series of games of the same ilk. The most surprising thing about is that Nintendo allowed the panties in the fist place.

I tend to agree, but I would add that, at least in the north Kanto plain, this character archetype is targeting young men in their early 20's (because anyone younger isn’t an adult of course *wink *) or older men who want to relive their 20' s. The quintessential “girl next door” if you will. Her kimono is screaming…

So much this. There is a run-down “rest stop” down the road from me that has one of these majong machines next to the pachinko and 1o yen slots. It’s just a gimmick to keep you feeding 100 yen coins into the machine(hell, gimmick is even part of the company name in this case). You pick a girl and if you win rounds you …

My understanding of it is that, much like in the west, a “good” girl does not do, much less enjoy, such things as having a man lift up her clothes to reveal her panties.

As a white man I am obliged to inform you that your status as a black man is confirmed, at least from “our” perspective.
