    What I love about them is how humble they are about their cars.. not bragging about how much they put in them or whatever... just "yeah, that´s a bumper... no, those lights aren´t stock... yep, that´s a car and I like it... " and be good about it..it´s been like that with all the car girls you´ve been showing lately :)

    I lived in Japan for aprox 5 years. One thing that I loved is that no one is concerned that they have to be the latest and greatest. Car culture, 80's rock culture, punk rock, hip hop. Whatever your flavor it doesn't die, it all exists and everyone just enjoys it to a VERY high level. Fantastic!

      In japan you can basically just sit in line and wait for the number to come up at the DMV the Yakuza used to do this to get license plates with all 4s or all 7s so like "4444" or "7777", so maybe that's how he did it, not 100% sure though.

      When you register your vehicle you can request the number you want on the license plate. For special numbers (some single digits or all the same number) there is a lottery system about once a week that you can enter since they are higher in popularity.
