Greetings from Japan Made it over here safely. currently im in the North West section of Japan called Akita. With the lady and her family. Things are going well. Lets see so far I only seen like 10 non Japanese cars. Ford, chrysler seem more like status symbols than cars people like to buy. The one thing is to take all the subcompact cars in america. make them skinnier and there you have most of the cars on the road. It amazes me how different cars are over here. I have a few picture of tehe prowler and people are like We think that a v6 is small I thinking alot of these cars are v3s. The weather is great and I love being here Thepeople are very kind and tipping is not needed. Take care see ya all in June |

I heard that Japanese cars are required to have their engines swapped out at 50K Miles no matter what due to emissions regs... Is that true? have fun and keep an eye out for that pesky Godzilla! |

Getting a driver license and the yearly tag renewals supposedly cost a fortune over there. If memory serves me correctly something like $2-3 grand yearly for license renewals. |

Back again Just got back from Sapporo. Really nice! I was in Okinawa last year really nice place. It amazing how different each area actually is even though its the same country. My Japanese has been strugling. I like to talk alot but here im kind of quiet. Guess I gotta get back to the books. I took some picts and can post when I get back to the states.
I saw a few Pts in the dealership but none on the streets!! |

Trey, Glad you are enjoying your time there & I hope all is going well with your "visit". If your Japanese does continue to get a little rusty... Just remember one word Saki!!! It is sure to get everyone talking the same language. Can't wait to see the pictures & listen to your stories! Have a great trip & safe return. You know... Now that you mention it... I could have sworn I saw a red Kat with "TreyB" on the plates driving through Times Square in the rain the other day... Talk to you soon! Call me when you get in... Your Buddy, |

Ok well here is some picts!! Here is one of my favorite Van's from Japan. Yes this is considered full size!! Looksgreat though Here are 2 other cars A Datsu and March. Notice how small the paking space actually is with these small cars Me and Keiko at one of Akita's Parks North West of Japan Akita Country side. A top a mountian Bikes! Bikes! Bikes! Everyone has a bike and you can park it on the side walk and not get it stolen. This is a normal city street downtown Sapporo! This message has been edited by treyb on 06-08-2003 at 12:16 AM |
