i never seen a mature white guy dig the Japanese culture so much.

i dont get it..

i understand why one would like jdm accessories but not drawing on hood and naming his car.

Part of it is the honor and integrity the Japanese take so seriously, something that seems to be missing in a lot of Americans. Part of it is because I'm an artist and a poet; there is so much beauty inherent in Japanese culture that I'm drawn to it. I love the challenge of haiku, that you can say so much in so few words. Oddly, I'm not that big into the JDM parts, my rims and HOA badges are the only JDM things on uzume. lol As far as naming the car, every car I've had has had a name, that's an American thing. she just didn't get hers until I got the nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and I decided to name her after the Japanese goddess of laughter. The fact that she also is the goddess of erotica and a few other fitting things just made it better. I have a very strong bond with this car that I've never had with any other car, and I've been a car guy since I was old enough to push Hot Wheels around.


I'm bummed that the road is too slick to smoke the tires. That was the whole reason for kicking on the neons.



Hey, WTF? You finally posted something that didn't make me go WTF? and then deleted it?


*edit* I swear on the new parts, his post was GONE. Even after I edited this one it wasn't there. I even showed my wife and we laughed about it.

And im sure there are 1000's more.

What is odd about appreciating and admiring other cultures?

Maybe you should get out more.

I thought it was a pretty shitty post, so I deleted it.
Once I saw your extremely mature post, I restored it.



FYI a=i, that was borderline flaming/bashing/etc. Do it again, especially in the Beg. section, you'll be banned.

I actually thought it was one of the more mature posts he's put up. It seemed like a genuine query into the reasoning behind my thoughts. It's the first time I haven't felt like flaming him for a post!
You can imagine my surprise when it was gone and back again. I thought I'd lost my mind for a second.

Although, I suppose it all depends on how he meant mature...
