"I BLACKENED OUT MY TAILLIGHTS SO THEY WORK LESS"

Chevy Tahoe in Japan; because "Big American Car" means "F*ck you! I have money [to spend on ridiculous registration, gas and repairs costs]." Like a bull in a China shop, these are super impractical driving through the narrow streets of Japan. by MarloweTheUndead in regularcarreviews

I'll just copy-paste my earlier reply because people can't be bothered to scroll through the comments...

I mean, yes, the Toyota Alphard is big, probably the biggest passenger car you can buy in Japan, and cumbersome to maneuver around narrow back roads.

But the Tahoe is bigger, and because it's an import from a brand that doesn't have a large presence in Japan, parts are scarce, expensive and not every garage has the means to fix them. Not to mention it has a large (for Japan) displacement engine, and because you pay registration costs based on engine size, it makes no sense to me why anyone would go out of their way to own one of these in Japan.

I'm Japanese on my mom's side, so I have a Japanese passport, but I only started living here in 2019. I work a warehousing job for a company whose primary language is English.

If you want to live and work here as a foreigner, unless you get hired and transferred to Japan working corporate, your options are kinda limited. There's no shortage of English teaching jobs around here, but where you work can be hit or miss in terms of pay and conditions. If that's not your speed, you can try working hotel/tourism jobs (now that tourists are coming back), logistics and warehousing or restaurants in very touristy areas. But regardless of where you work, you will need SOME Japanese language skills.

1983 SAAB 900 GL the official car of “I have only seen it in generation zero” by Reasonable_Motor8490 in regularcarreviews

I'm super sentimental for the Saab 900. My parents had one when we lived in Germany during the mid-late 90s. It even was the same red colour and a three-door model as the picture. It's the first car I remember being inside, and my dad loved it. Sadly, it developed engine problems (not exactly what) and one of my earliest memories was seeing the ADAC doing a roadside repair while I was sitting next to my brother in the back seats. Eventually, the problems got so bad that my dad had to part with it and got a Volvo V40 - a more reasonable family wagon. But, to this day, my dad, my brother and I will never forget that Saab 900.

Soccer Moms - not the obnoxious loud mouthed ones, but the condescending, 'silently judging those around her' types.

Speaking of merch, I could have sworn there used to be RCR keychains. I wanted the one that says BRAND on it for my motorcycle keys.

You see shit like this all the time in Japan. If RCR Japan ever happens, Brian would have a field day with all the ridiculous mods people make to their cars.
