Don't forget that: 1. The Pagani Huayra costs the owner aprox. US$10 million because of luxury good sales tax paid to the central government; and 2. US$30k/year for road tax paid to the local government (in this case the Huayra is registered to the Jakarta provincial government).

[@standard-carrier-wo-chan]

@@nitsu2947 You forgot something, though: Holden sold cars with US muscle platforms all throughout the 70s and 80s in Indonesia. A lot of enthusiasts would buy these old Holden units and import the appropriate accessories to turn their unit into a proper US muscle (like a Holden Monaro being modified into a Chevrolet Nova for example). USDM culture definitely exists, but it's really fringe and hidden from mainstream eyes.

@@nitsu2947 there's alot muscle car back in 60,70,and 80s. My grandfather own a 4door impala back in the 70s and he used it as Bandung-Jakarta Taxi or we called it "mobil travel" and there's many muscle car community amongst the taxi driver. In the 90s most travel agent upgraded their fleet with better cars and many taxi drivers started to scrap their old muscle car and sold it on "gerung-gerung" auto event or auction. the gerung2 auto event ended in the late 2000s where muscle cars (us/australian) are already a collector item. Now you only see muscle cars as rich people collector item but not back then where the middle class or taxi driver used it as daily and taxi car. Here where i live many expats drove a LHD cabriolet 60s Impala as their daily and rare jdm cars (THEY'RE very cheap) due to less importation restrictions (FTZ)

3:49 Believe it or not J99XAR Drift Circuit used to be a part of real street circuit. It's called Lippo Village International Formula Circuit. It was built in late 2000s to host A1GP (remember those?). Unfortunately the track failed it's certification (or depends on who you ask, there are some theories) and they never held race beside one off Indonesian touring car championship. Most of the track has been redeveloped but part of the drift circuit, especially the chicane in the island is an actual part of the circuit. Another leftover of the circuit is paddock area that you can see after you exit the highway that is now used for local university. 17:03 This is actually Toyota Corolla AE101 Super Touring car built by TRD Technocraft. This car was former works Toyota Team Indonesia (TTI) cars to compete at Southeast Asia Touring Car Championship back in the 90s. TTI itself imported two cars and Engine+ car is the only complete and running car in Indonesia at the moment. If I'm not mistaken, TRD only made 4 of these in total. It was raced in Indonesia up to early 2010s and this car actually have a lap time at Sentul faster than early gen Huracan Super Trofeo. Supposedly because it has a suspension that is tuned specifically for Sentul circuit (especially since the car rarely raced abroad so they can just stick with one setup). Luckas is an incredible guy, always humble and kind. What makes him and his shop different is that he didn't just built cars, but he also created parts in house with huge standard that is rarely seen in Indonesia.

[@FedericoTimothy]

Thank you for exposing our automotive culture to the world. The reason why we can't import used car is, because people will import used cars from Singapore (due to their regulation as well) and it kinda kills the local automotive industry. But one interesting thing that differentiates us from Malaysia and Singapore, budget car enthusiast uses German cars such as the E36, W202, E39 or E46 due to the large engine displacement. With local assembled Japanese cars, you would only get the low/economy engine option, and you'll need to import engines.. Which end up you spending way more than playing with Mercs and BMWs. So yes, you'll see rich enthusiasts driving a S14 Silvia or 240SX, while you'll see budget drivers driving E46 325i.😅

[@abdullahisdanul107]

Anything 4 door actually, E36 atau E46 tetap mahal mah kalau Coupe atau Wagon. But your point still stands.👍🏻 Not to mention there's "one guy" from Batam that able to send FTZ(read: Singapore) cars outside Riau islands. Things getting cheaper but still paperless nonetheless.

[@kotarojujo2737]

even then now 4 door e36s price already rised up. We peasants simply can't enjoy cars in Indonesia lol.

[@FedericoTimothy]

@@kotarojujo2737 if you're into German cars but do not wish to use them for motosport, buy an E39, still way much more value buy than e36 right now.

Dude... Victor truly inspires me to wanna take a chance and start (or join) a business working on cars. I'm also a mechanical engineer, and I have a passion for cars, but that inner fear of failure and judgement from others keeps me from taking that leap of faith. Even I ask myself, why would I leave my comfy salary job with benefits, to go work on cars that probably won't pay as much and might not have all the benefits that I currently have? Maybe one day, but I have to think about my family and make sure I can provide a good life for them today and secure a good future for my daughter.

[@ericww1993]

[@BoyanDobrev]

If a desire has been placed inside your heart, it’s there for a reason. Right now, it seems like you’re reasoning yourself out of that reason. How much would you regret not giving it a shot when you’re in your 90s?

[@real765rp8]

Hmmm, if everything is going fine and you've got a family to take care of, I'd say it's best to stick with your current job. But maybe you're able to save up and work on a private project car, as a mini version of that, hit up the local scene and stuff.

[@sargera1]

this is PIK area. rich chigga hood. not all place here like this

[@3310reza]

This level of car culture is indeed not accessible for most of us (Indonesians). The barrier to entry from the financial side is very high. It's more into the high level lifestyle, rather than a common one. Also the motoring culture here is different, most of us tend to travel with a lot of family members in a single car, which leads car makers to produce and inject reasonably priced MPVs and vans to the local market. However, social media platforms help us to know car cultures from many countries in the world, which keep our dream alive, of one day having one of these cars in our garage and take care of it. Thanks Larry and Hagerty for coming!

[@Suckmabalzz]

and also the reason why sedans are not popular here is because they used to tax sedans as a luxury thing lmao what an ass move from the government

Never went there ever since 😅... but nevertheless, it's great to see those cars, turns out we do have a nice car culture here. Well done Larry for this video.

[@ifanramadhana7833]

That car just arrived early this year and it's not exactly daily driver so that's probably the reason you never saw it.

[@miyoshifw27]

Wow! Good video! I used to drag raced my 4 barrel Toyota Kijang in Menteng, Jakarta on Saturday night back in early 90's. All I remember my country Indonesia had the highest car tax in the world at that time. Only rich peeps who worked in the government offices, foreign companies or entrepreneurs could afford to own nice cars . When I moved to US in 2000 I felt so lucky to be able to own several nice cars and rent quite new cars cheaply although I worked as a regular employee in a small company. Now I'm in JPN for more than 11 years and I find most people prefer tiny cars aka kei cars because of the narrow roads and expensive gas price. Most big engine used cars in JPN are cheaper compare to small ones because of zeikin / yearly tax and shaken / bi-yearly inspection. Once again, like you mentioned everything about cars in my country Indonesia is waaaay moaaar expensive than other countries

[@tuankuimambonjo]

damn. i sure that i didn't skip the video. You guys are are awesome for the story telling and all the b-roll, appreciate that for an Indonesian i lil bit embarrassed when you tell them about the $350 salary and it's enough. But, it is what it is, right?

[@arapaimagold8088]

That’s a good reality check for anyone who’s taking home $1500. And barely able to live from it.

We should be proud of our government. 😂😂😂

The Starlet is a really fun car to drive, even the stock one and the best part is they're cheap enough for middle class to own.

[@3kstra]

Exactly! They are like budget hot hatches, pretty fuel efficient too! Sadly they've gone up in price recently.

[@irvanray1898]

@@3kstra that's the annoying parts. luckily, I'm able to snag one before their price went up lol.

[@kuntet6702]

finally Indonesia,🔥🔥🔥🇮🇩

[@ironiswordbrodoesstuff9019]

as an Indonesian I'm happy that you covered my country. car culture here is very small and whenever a meet happens, its like a big event. I have been a lover of all things cars and wish to own these cool JDM's, Exotics, and Race cars but they are all so expensive and I really wish Indonesia will get rid of the dumb import law so that we could at least get a cool car for a reasonable price.

[@rusdiediselamet]

I agree

[@abamvaro3398]

Nice video mr larry chen👍

[@DapperGapper]

Being a mechanic and not being able to afford a car is kinda heartbreaking. I wonder what the rules are for kit cars. 😢

[@JolteonRacer]

I've never met a shop mechanic who owns their own car. It's pathetic and really sad. kit cars are a gigantic grey area last I heard... Depends on what you define as a kit car, though.

[@DapperGapper]

@@JolteonRacer like if you fabricate your own frame and chassis, motor installation, etc. basically building a car from scratch.

Airline pilots cannot afford the planes they fly

[@jasonlemuel5078]

​@@DapperGapper basically impossible to be registered in here you need a vin and engine number

[@jasonlemuel5078]

​@@DapperGapper for instance your motor was blown you have to swap the engine you have to file paperworks of changing the engine number in the vehicle paperwork and even if you're you have to do it in "certified shop"(atleast back then idk about pesenr ) to swap engine no garage or backyard engine swap
