OK, no offense to any of my Japanese readers, alright? I personally don’t know anyone from Japan, and the Americans of Japanese descent that I know are true Red White and Blue Americans. And by that, I mean they like their beer cold, their TV loud, and you know the rest.
But I just don’t understand the taste of the young people in Japan. And by taste, I mean bad taste. A case in point is soon approaching. But first, allow me to set it up for you.
I was surfing recently, and I don’t remember anymore where I was when I clicked on a link that took me to the following page. I just remember that it said something about “cool Japanese sporty cars” or something. This wasn’t a page badly translated from the Japanese language, where all intended sarcasm is lost. This link was actually promising cool Japanese sporty cars. So I clicked to have a look. The first few cars near the top of the page looked decent enough. Nothing really special one way or the other. The farther down I got, however, the more I thought this was a joke. But NO! It is real! People in Japan actually think this looks cool! Have a look here.
When you’re done laughing and shaking your head, check out what are apparently called “art trucks“.

my favorite was the one that said “yonky mate” and the one with the three story spoiler.

oh, and i liked the fact that it was called an “auto salon” like a hair salon or a nail salon or something.
the trucks were actually kind of cool looking.

I refuse to believe that this is not a joke…
Also, not that I am some sort of auto engineering genius, but all those right angles in the exhaust would KILL the performance of those cars (not that the aerodynamics have a positive effect, either)…
I think they kinda look like Transformers that never learned to transform!

Also, what is with the fact that, like, 50% of those trucks all had some sort of “missle” attached to them (obviously they are nto real… or are they?….)… What is the fixation with missles? Do they think that if they put those one the trucks, I will be less likely to make fun?
“Oh no… I can’t make fun of that guys ‘art truck’, it has missles on it… he might attack me!”

Pimp my ride, Sensai!
Irgendwie hat man in Japan einen anderen Geschmack.
