These guys(the Japanese) do American cars better than we do. There was a lot of individuality here, and most importantly, good taste. It seems like in the US, it’s either showroom stock or the same old cliches like chrome Cragars and shit. Everybody just seems to follow trends to a T with the exact same shit.
Really loved this one in particular:

This is literally shit stolen from us.
You dumb fucking weeb.
You not knowing about something doesn't mean the gooks you saw on youtube did it first.
This, this shit we started and you still see here.
Just like the JDM bro stuff was stolen and adapted from shit they did though.
I will say this I do like the 69 in the OP.

boy you kiss your mother with that mouth?
I've never been to a US hotrod show in my life: the post.
It's obvious you've never been to a USDM, hot rod, or low rider show.There's nothing in this video that wasn't (and still isn't) done in the US. Stop watching SEMA videos and confusing that with US car culture.
Who do you think they are emulating lol??
CHIP FOOSE HERE AND WELCOME TO FLAVOR TOWN
OP is a retarded weeb who's never seen a classic car show in California.
t. cuck
How am I a cuck? OP is the self hating faggot.
my point exactly. you think hot rod culture is chip foose and sema. thank you for illustrating my point.
Classic car culture in Japan is fucking abysmal. All of the vehicles there are worth double what they are in the US and parts import and shipping fees would make it even more disgusting. Not to mention the lack of parking, environment regulations and a complete lack of homes with garage space. It's basically just for wealthy Japanese people whereas in the US, any average joe can find and build a classic car.
>any average joe can find and build a classic car
I wish.
Ah yes, the Japs.
>implying old cars aren't exempt from emissions regulations in most of the world
>implying emissions regulations are generally bad
>implying hobbies become worse just because they demand a bit of financial conviction
Also when you buy a car in Japan for double as much you can also sell it later on for double as much. You're losing just as much or just as little money in the long run as in the US, there's only more of it in the car in the meantime.

>we'll see what we can see
I fucking hate this saying, it's so annoying
Have you ever considered that the people talking shit about American cars and the people importing them are two different groups?
Holy shit you're uneducated.
Japan has crazy regulations.
New cars have a 3 year grace period.
Then they have to be inspected every 2 years, after 10 years its yearly.
$2,000 just for inspection.
Engines over 60,000 miles need to be re certified for emissions.
ANY leak is a fail.
A classic car is either a trailer queen, or rebuilt multiple times while you own it.
I worked for a company that restored 65-73 mustangs for export to Japan.
>Then they have to be inspected every 2 years
Every country apart from the third world and the retarded fatburgers does that.
>ANY leak is a fail.
And it should be. Go have your shitbucket leak all over your front lawn, Cletus, not public roads.
>we saved ur ass in dubya dubya two
"saved your ass" is nice word for "fucking us over big time". if it werent for your fucking involvement, europe would be a better place today. should have listened to lindbergh.
Except the soviets won WW2

It's so 70s, and so beautiful.
>every 2 years.
Normal smog inspection in the U.S. is like $29.99- some states are yearly smog and safety inspection dumbshit.
That's a big leap to Japan's $2,000.
That's $2,000 just to look at it. Doesmt matter if its only been riven 100 miles since last inspecrion. Any and every flaw has to be repaired or the vehicle is banned from the road.
Originals perform like dogshit you purist scumfaggot
>Any and every flaw has to be repaired or the vehicle is banned from the road.
Well, of course. Otherwise the inspections would be pointless.
>take out back seat.
>car is now banned from the road because it's missing factory installed parts.
This is what car culture has to deal with in Japan.
alright i've read up on the shaken and it's basically the exact same tests we have to do in europe.
the car goes on a rolling dyno to test brakes, vibrating plates for shocks, machine to test headlight power and aim... the guy tests that everything works and nothing's fucky (seatbelts, doors...), sensor in the exhaust for smog... then it goes up on ramps and the guy checks the underside for rust, leaks, brake or tire damage... and fucks with the drivetrain and axles with a crowbar to see if there's play in bushings and stuff
but here in europe all this costs 50 to 60 euros. that's even including the 2d test if you fail and have to come back.
any idea why it would be so fucking expensive for no reason in japan ?
i mean, it's a big leap from 60 euros to 1000 to 2000. for the exact same thing.
Because Japan has a very strict "you don't get to endanger MY life with your shitty choices" type of society.
So you have to pay to play.
And euro's test doesnt ban cars that fail for minor issues.
actually they do now. it's not like before.
some reasons i've seen cars fail:
-sticker on the windshield that isn't proof of insurance. doesn't matter if it's small and out of the field of view od the driver, it's a fail.
- discolored front blinker lens. blinker was working fine, the lens just was discolored because of the sun and lost its orange color.
-rear door not opening from the outside handle
- tire size not on the factory approved list. even though the tires were brand new and a perfectly good size for the car (no stretched sidewall or poking out of the fender)
- parking brake not braking hard enough
etc... it's becoming harder and harder nowadays to get my cars through inspection. + the guys i used to pay to get my shitpiles through either got caught or don't want to do it anymore because of the risk of getting caught... so i'm stuck doing 5 inspections and as many brake bleeds because of a minor rear brake imbalance on a 35 year old car
