I'm so excited you're modifying the prosucc, I appreciate this so much. Dead honest, what i like EVEN more than typical iconic and hyped cars everyone buys and modifies, are the odd commuter cars no one would think of touching. Buying a affordable car that any average joe could buy and making it yours, THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT. This is what I truly appreciate about car culture, this is what it should be about and what makes it special.

[@HakureiReimuOfficial]

It's cool about car culture that every country has THE car that built the whole thing. There's only a handful of models worldwide that achieve a level of social importance because they were *the* cheap useful car that everyone who needed to get shit done got.

[@EpicStuffMan1000]

I just spent 2 months in Japan, helping my friend at his dealership... doing mechanic work/shaken/auctions etc.. In Japan when people/companies give up their cars to be sold off I find it so odd HOW MUCH STUFF they leave in the car. Mostly CDs, cell phone holders/chargers, and other personal items... One time in a trunk of a JZX was a whole tool bag (with tools) and spare parts for the car (headlights and tail lights) and a bunch of Drift Tengoku magazines. Kind of a weird glimpse in to somebody's life, or if it was some company vehicle.. figuring out what the company did.
