The fact even if you own a civic you get 100% respect from a ferrari owner in japan. No one is big or small, everyone is equal. That is why japanese culture is so special

@davrocket5304 Год назад

in America they call that "ricer" when you try to craft your own part but in Japan is just wow, each car speaks about the owner, it has a story not just buy and put it like in america just to show up.

@AbandonedRaven Год назад

I really love car culture when it’s handled like this. I like how Larry Chen brought out how respectful everyone was and when the police said to move to a more friendly location they did. In the US I doubt that would happen and we would do those weird burnout “shows” in a 4-way intersection on top of it. I just love how diverse the car cultures are in Japan. I mean this doesn’t even show the other huge meets that include itasha, bosozoku, or giant events dedicated to one specific car (for instance a GTR or something random like a Suzuki Cappucino).

Japanese car culture is crazy. I haven’t been in person so I’m not I can’t speak for what it actually is, but it FEELS like everyone respects each other. And not just that but everyone puts in EFFORT. Nothing is riced or clapped out. Everything that’s at these meets and shows are truly worthy of being shown.

I remember emailing Larry many years ago to let him know how much of a fan I was of his work with Speedhunters and he actually replied back! It was great to see him become a personality with the Hoonigan guys, then go solo and now his partnership with Hagerty. Larry’s talent and unbridled enthusiasm for car culture is second to none. Videos like this are one of the many reasons I insure my E30 through you. Thank you Hagerty for hiring top talent! Keep car culture alive and please keep sending Larry on more missions.

Late comment but to witness this culture in Japan makes me really brought into tears genuinely!! Literally no words to describe this one but the only I could say right now is this is the most raw, diverse, genuine and connected car scene I've ever seen!! Just bunch of genuine car enthusiasts out there gathering occasionally and sharing this one same goal which is the love for our cars!!!! This really brought an inspiration to me!!! It makes my inner child awaken and fuels my flame of passion towards these machines even more!!! Thank you for sharing your true passion and connectivity with this scene and hopefully we could be able to preserve this and pass it to the future generations!!

@thomasgurchiek3301 11 месяцев назад

The sound of the Ferrari at 11:00 is my absolute favorite all day any day. Just straight goosebumps anytime I hear that scream. I still have some of the import/street racer magazines from the late 90's early 2000's. A couple of them have articles and stories covering the Japanese underground car scene. Truly amazing. Glad it looks like it hasnt changed for decades. Mad respect.

I love it no burnouts, uncontrollable drift crashes, dumb high end revs, or no extra showing out like that car meet is the most peaceful meet I've ever seen. Dude I'm happy you took those photos because they look live and legit I love the way these cars look my goodness.
