The Midget looks great, all original. Except for the air freshener. Have to have that.

In the 1st bunch, that Yaris, man.

I like my rides more low-key ... like that S15 silvia and the A91 (MKV) supra.

Is that an AE82 3-door hatch mixed in the the Initial-D-esque AE86s??

Those R33 4-doors are also !!

And I love an AE86, even if it's a Levin.

Wouldn't want one, but have never seen a "varietta" before.

TBF, the "Godzilla" and FAFO sign car was the only R33. It was pretty, a GT-R no doubt. Quite a few S-13/14/15 Silvia's. And I like the Varietta version. The nicest one of those is ~$35K.

And the AE86 was out in Trueno form, and the smaller car was a Sunny.

Outta curiosity, since that car show was at Kadena AB, does that mean that a lotta the cars were those of service members? Or were most of them owned by "locals"? Or perhaps a mix?

Most of the show cars were local owned. But a few (including the R33) were owned by Americans. I could have displayed my car but found out too late.

Does the rollcage on the brown r33 not connect to anything on the floor? Just a metal pipe to smash your skull against?

I mean it had too many bends around the dash anyways to be functional, but still.

pretty cool color though.

^ Looks like maybe a QD floor bar? Maybe the other received is under the carpet at the seat base?
Not sure what the point of that would be, but that bracket on the A-pillar bar seems to suit that idea

The R33 may be one of my least favorite modern Skylines, but wouldn't turn one away.

I really don’t care for the RX8. Coming from the rx7, it’s a huge step down to me. Same as the MR2 to the MR-S…

I don’t mind the R33, though it does look like a balloon with s but too much pressure in it. R34 all day for me though.

Love the high revving nature of the RX8, but would take an FC or FD over the 8 every day.
After driving a 1st gen MR2 with a tuned 20v 9k rpm Silvertop 4AG, the MRS can suck it.

I really like the MR-2, especially the MK-2 turbo. My friend in college had one (still friends now) and I thought it was just awesome. His had a fair amount of mods and hearing that turbo spool right behind you was awesome. It was the first car I’ve been in that didn’t have a front engine and I just loved everything about it. I know I have a smooth brain, but another friend had an Mk4 Supra, and obviously the Supra was the more expensive of the 2, but I preferred the mr2.
the Silvia never did it for me because it was just a lesser Supra. I also preferred the Lexus SC400 and IS300 and it was a big step down (to me) from the 300ZX.

There are a lot of those here. Many military are buying them to ship back. There's also quite a few Silvias, GT-Rs (R32), R-34 non-GT-Rs that are being bought just to bring back. Oh, and Land Cruisers.
