    I used to see an FD RX7 perched on top of more rusted cars at a breakers yard over here in the UK. A real shame. It left the factory with such hope and someone just failed to look after it. Great work as usual Dino.

    In Japan’s defense I would say that greenery and plants grow really fast as well as moss. It just adds to the abandoned feeling you get from places like this. And correct me if I’m wrong but parking space is a bit difficult to get in Japan so I guess people prefer to have their cars stored at their local workshop? Most of us have various projects that we barely touch for months waiting on parts or motivation. Most of these cars look abandoned and probably are but I just like to think that they have their owners and they are just waiting to be used. Would love to find more about their stories. Anyways, thank you for the video Dino!

      Not really baffling, they made hundreds of thousands of each (364k+ for just AE86s). Export numbers were only in the tens of thousands per model though. It's not an uncommon car. Look at any state in the US and you see millions of abandoned American cars around. These being used for sport at some point, might be that the owners got ill, passed or just grew up and forgot about their stored beater worth a few thousand if that. I have an 05 supercharged Mini Cooper S rotting in my yard, it happens.

    A guy who worked for me also worked at a Hemi classic restoration shop. Some projects came out of the rust stripping tank with little more than the roof and part of the shell intact. They were rebuilt back to better-than-new condition. So, the short answer is yes, you can save anything if the value is there.

    • @se7enine
      @se7enine หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you can afford to pay for the amount of work it would take to restore something this dilapidated then you could afford something in much better condition as well. Also, a lot of owners are delusional and won't part with cars no matter how far on the priority list it might be. Collectors driving up the cost and pricing out young enthusiasts who would want to restore these gems just can't afford them. I would rather see a car rot than end up in some rich man's collection collecting dust. Cars should be for drivers, not just people with deep pockets.

    It is always so sad to see abandoned cars, not only because of the value and culture that is lost but rather the stories behind these cars. There almost always is a very sad story behind all abanonded cars like health issues, death or criminal activity.... I mean people bought those legend cars because they saw the same value and passion in it like all of us. It is nice of you to see if some of the legendary cars can be bought and restored, they surely deserve it!

    • @dino_dc
      @dino_dc  หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      I think all of this has a parallel with the culture in Japan. Japan modernized by copying the West. They sent their brightest minds in every possible type of industry to learn and bring home knowledge.
      From there it kickstarted their own industrial movement, sort of a springboard compared to how the West got started. They progressed quickly, but that gave way to a mindset that if it's broken it's not worth fixing but rather replacing it with something new and better.
      This is why car restorers are quite rare, the government in no way helps anyone with older cars to keep them on the road as heritage pieces, there are no historic plates or road tax exemption, no special limited-mileage insurance, it's just all just geared towards buy new buy new, chance chance change.
      Any old car is looked as loud, stinky and problematic, it's only the die hard car guys that push and keep the good stuff on the road. I hope the global interest old Japanese classics are having now helps bring change with respect to it all. But I doubt it. Japan never changes.

      @@dino_dc Very good point, I never thought about it that way since all you hear about japan is how they treat old things with respect and care to make them last as long as they can because of Shinto religion and the believe that Kami/Gods are in everything. I know not everyone believes in Shinto/religion in Japan but it sparked an attitude towards sustainable growth and preservation of the old. I guess this does not apply to modern culture anymore or rather not to cars. Thanks for the input!

But people values' guide them towards future, throughout their individual choices and lifestyle. Somehow, it influences what is going to be treasured or not in the future. We people are all the same, but we do live in different scenarios and contexts.

    If anyone wondering why these cars end up like this it might be because of mandatory "shaken" (Japanese MOT). The older car gets, the shaken gets more expensive as well as the insurance. Sometimes even 2x more than shaken of a newer car (less than 13 years old)! Living in Japan is already pretty expensive for typical Japanese so its easier for them to leave the car on the street than pay all the costs.

    • @dino_dc
      @dino_dc  หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      The shaken costs hasn’t really varied that much, it’s a taxation on the weight class of the car, so unless the government makes a massive carve on it is staring the same every time. I think in 25 years the shaken on my GTR has gone up 5,000 yen. It’s the fact that if you don’t renew it you will be charged for all the missed road tax. Keep a car off the road for 10 years you’re looking at 500k yen in back payments. Probably puts most people off

      Its often the car insurance system in Japan. They have what is called "shakken" and its basically a car inspection license that cars are given for usually 2 years. It costs between $500-2000 (US) depending on the vehicle and the insurance you want, and then you have to pay the cost of any repairs. Most Japanese aren't going to have two vehicles on the road at a time, so they park their sports car once the insurance runs out and drive something else in the meantime.

    These cars are loved all over the world and people are paying ridiculous money for the most clapped out cars while there's thousands of them rotting away in the Japanese countryside. These cars are Japanese culture, something to be protected and not left to rot. Every individual has their own cirsumstances as do all the businesses and at the end of the day it's their posession so obviously they're free to do with it what they want. Still painful and head shake inducing to see these increasingly rare pieces of automotive history be treated like this. Wish I could save them all.

    One of the reasons there are so many abandoned cars of course is because of the shaken insurance system. You can't just get a car running and then drive it around with some cheap insurance. You actually have to have a licensed mechanic inspect the car and then insurance is minimum 2 years. So any car you buy will cost you an extra $1-2k (US) plus whatever repairs you need. You can't just buy a shit box here and drive it around. Otherwise, I'd love to start a TH-cam channel in Japan where you get these cars running and then you drive them home like ViceGripGarage does.

    • @dino_dc
      @dino_dc  21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There seems to be a lot of misinformation surrounding the shaken. First of all it’s not that expensive, the test itself is straight forward and the compulsory 3rd party insurance for 2 years is just under $150

    My uncles workshop yard looks like this. He used to import a lot of cars from the US, and most of them have not moved for 20 years. He’s a mechanic with his own shop and I guess never found the time to do anything with any of them. There’s an AMG 560 SEC with only 15k miles on it just sitting catching rust to the front fenders now.. among other things Transams, Mustangs, an Acura NSX, and about 5 old style Mini Coopers

    You know I always got intrigued by Videos like this when i got younger, but the more i started to learn about cars from everywhere around the world and every time period and their owners... i started to understand whats going on, Alot of the cars just abandoned outside of apartments probably belong to a older person in their 40s-70s... with health problems - they dont want to sell the car because they believe that they will get better and eventually get back to their car, and that belief is ongoing for 5-20 years already... time flies fast and they dont realize that their car is in the bad condition they are & thats probably whats with that M5 E34 and RS2000 & Ferrari, Alot of the other cars abandoned... Their owners maybe moved on in life and forgot about the car and they are truly abandoned, alot of times the paperwork is missing on a car... so the car just sits there - the owner doesnt want to ''part it out'' because the car means alot to them - so the car just sits there like a statue infront of their house or in the backyard, some times its all of the above - someone had health issues for a couple years or got carried away with family life or got super busy in life and said to themselves ''ill get back to my car when im more free'' and when they finally have time - its too late and their car is rusted away & they dont even think theres a point to try doing anything with the car but still wont sell it - its one of those tales of ''Ill Fix it later'' where somebody has like a abandoned rusty car in their backyard for 30 years, As for the shops like the Hakosuka's and AE86's - Alot of Shops do Tuning, Alot of Shops do Restoring, Alot of Shops Just do mechanical and welding and stuff - When you paint your car yourself... it will be wayy cheaper than getting it painted at a shop & that goes with everything - welding, mechanical work... and specially restoring, a Customer takes their car to a restoration or body shop or a mechanical shop or a tuning shop - because they are busy in life and dont have the time for it, they have a approximate price in their head about how much it could cost from the expenses they spent on their car doing it before, They think Paint will be $500-$1000... Welding will be $500-1000 and so on, but the prices are probably x4 that and extends beyond what they have in their budget to pay for, My buddy owns a Restoration shop here in Latvia... I know the details of it from him, If you have never taken your car to any sort of a Restoration or Body or Tuning shop... you wont get the quote and cost upon delivering your car to them, You tell them what you want done... and since its professional work - it will probably take a year or more, by that year or more you would probably already forget about the car and your financial status could change drastically (what probably happened alot here in japan), after the restoration is done they call you to pick up the car and pay for it... if i wanted to paint my car myself in amateur levels with spray cans... i'd be looking at $300-$500, but a professional restoration shop painting my car in metallic would probably be closer to $2500-$4000... and same goes for every other task on a car, So these people's financial probably drastically changed or life got tougher... went to pick up the car - expecting a price tag of x10 times lesser than it was, and had no money for it... what happens when you cant pay for your car is - if its a ''cheaper car'' to where the base price is less than what they put into it.... the customer has to write it off to them, and in rare times the customer doesnt even show up after restoration (health issues, maybe moved away, forgot about it, or passed away) so the car just sits abandoned in the shop's yard till the end of time, and alot of times if the customer cant pay for the car and refuses to sign it off to the shop... the shop basically holds it hostage until the customer pays, you cant hate the shop for keeping it because alot of their money and time went into it, and not far away from my house.... my furthest neighbor has a toilet paper factory & apparently he and his friend did some restoration work on a 1992 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 2.1 Turbo Diesel Manual, This car is sitting currently in his warehouse's backyard... overgrown in lawn and moss for like 3 years & the car is perfect on everything... every bolt is shiny, everything is exactly the same as it was when it left the factory in 1992... which means the price of the restoration was probably way too much to pay for the customer, the guy apparently couldnt pay.... but he ''couldnt'' sign it off to them - because he ''lost the paperwork'' so its just sitting there for 3 years in showroom quality slowly rotting away... a car thats probably worth like 20K - Because theres ''no paperwork'' and the guy didnt pay for his order of restoration, and Some Shops - when they take the customer car hostage with no paperwork... just use the car for like racing or drifting... like the R-Moon Shop in this video - The Red Miata probably doesnt belong to the shop and has no paperwork... so the shop just uses it on a drift track or something because you dont need paperwork to drive a car on a track, and my buddy who has the restoration shop also has all sorts of cars just abandoned in his shop lot... few cars already restored, and a few cars like fully taken apart already where the customer said he wont be able to pay for it... but he already has taken apart every single bolt and part & has welded the shell - so its just sitting there as a rolling shell stuffed with parts, The Hakosuka.... you can already imagine how much the restoration of a hakosuka would cost... and that price was probably beyond the customers expectations, so the car now sits in the shop's lot abandoned as a example for every upcoming customer to see what their car could end up like if they dont pay their bill.

    I just moved to japan and would love a project like this. I was lucky enough to find a home with a 4 car garage so I am interested in filling it up. A project like that would be wonderful. However, I am already struggling to register my 2024 Jeep Rubicon xtreme, so getting something like these older cars would be very problematic for someone like me. Not knowing any good shops in the Kanagawa area also helps with my hesitation.

But I am told to go find a random person, an LTO, and they send me quotes of almost $7000 USD. Im just confused as to what this random person does. I can go to the pre-inspection place, the city hall, and the final testing place... but where is the extra $6000 USD coming from?
      I hear there are some special considerations because I am a SOFA member, but no one knows what that actually means. I am wondering if some of the random LTO people i fond online are just targeting military families and charging a dramatic price.
