I've seen a couple of jeeps.....I don't know what the car scene is like down in Hiroshima as I never made it down that far, but plenty of Mustangs to be found up in Tokyo & Kanagawa. A friend of mine over there has owned a 03 cobra for well over a decade now, it replaced his JDM 97 cobra that got totaled.
These are all back from my trip in 2018
My rental car and his terminator
This saleen was driven by a lady, I've seen this car pop up in many of the American car meets my friend goes to
This one was at the megaweb toyota showcase
This one I saw at a late night Daikoku PA meet, young kid owned it, lots of lights and he had a Borla Atak exhaust on it. We chatted briefly, I was showing him photos of my car on my phone
From what I learned while over there, the most popular imported American brand is actually Jeep, and I saw a lot of crappy model Jeeps on the roads over there (Liberty, Compass, etc.)
Isn't that the parking lot where the cops keep raiding and chasing people away? I forget the name of the meeting spot.I don't know what the car scene is like down in Hiroshima as I never made it down that far, but plenty of Mustangs to be found up in Tokyo & Kanagawa.

Daikoku is a huge meet at the service station, it actually does have a police station on site haha. Normally there's no trouble, certainly not the two times I was lucky to visit so I'd be surprised if it's getting shutdown but always possible I guess.Isn't that the parking lot where the cops keep raiding and chasing people away?

I recall your recommendation to go there, but I looked into it and saw that the cops are cracking down on that meet. I got into tokyo too late to try to catch it anyway.Daikoku is a huge meet at the service station, it actually does have a police station on site haha.

Well, that rental wagon of mine was a twin turbo, AWD, 5spd manual with an 8000rpm redline. I think that qualifies.Anything cool/interesting in the domestic market over there that we don’t get here in the States?
Yeah I would say it does. I like a good wagon, don’t see many around here anymore.Well, that rental wagon of mine was a twin turbo, AWD, 5spd manual with an 8000rpm redline. I think that qualifies.
Made in America Tested in JapanI have been in Japan for a few weeks now. I'm surprised to not have seen any Mustangs, let alone Ford products anywhere. I read Ford pulled out somewhere around 2016.
So walking along the streets of Hiroshima, I came upon a black GT.
