  • Christiansburg, VA is a town of about 20,000 people, and even if you spent all day walking around the town, I don’t think your take-away from the town would be “Hey, I bet this place has one of the largest collections of JDM cars in America and all sorts of other delightful automotive treasures.” But you’d be wrong. So very, wonderfully wrong.

      @@manchild111 I think you should educate yourself about billionaires if you think they "earn" their money just like you and me.
      Jeff Bezos has made $6.1 billion in just five trading days in 2018.
      Where do you think that money came from? Who do you think worked to generate that money? Who do you think bears the inflation caused by the fact that we're printing billions of dollar, even worse we're generating electric money with no real value to it, meaning while one of the 1800+ billionaires is easily generating himself a couple billions out of nowhere, the money of everyone else becomes less valueable. There is no such thing as "earning" an amount of money which was created through the work of hundreds of thousands of people. It has nothing to do with intelligence, it has nothing to do with business strategy. It's a pyramid-system, nothing more and nothing less. If you fail to see that and put some academics and millionaires (who at this point have almost become the new middle class) and billionaires in the same pot then you have no idea about the economy and therefore shouldn't talk about who "earned" what.

    I am certain that these were imported in to Australia in the early 1990's as we never had any problem with tiny cars such all the Suzuki models like the mighty boy, bluebird in the 60's and many others from mazda and honda like the civic. I think this is because they were right hand drive like our cars and the british, south african and indian cars. We were used to all the tiny cars from britain including the austin a10 and the morris 1000, plus cars such as the morris mini. Tiny japanese cars fitted right in.

It's had a new cam belt, new inlet and exhaust valves, new cylinder head gasket, new front and rear bumpers, near rear lights, new engine mountings, rebuilt rear bakes, new brake pipe and a host of other items.
