Bosozuko!!! Found it.

I think you mean bosozoku, which actually refers to young yakuza shitballs that drive up and down the streets all night long revving their motorbikes to be a nuisance.

I lived in Japan for several years and truth be told I never saw any ricer crap. Most people there just have little tin cans on wheels to get from point A to point B.

I lived in Japan for 8 years before returning to the states. I saw stuff like that, but not as "crazy" as some of the stuff shown. I saw "bat vans" with 4 ft wings coming off the top of the vans. I don't know what it is about having big wings and long exhaust over there, but some of their cars have that crap on them.

And that freaking reving of the motors used to drive me freaking crazy. The motorcycles and mopeds did it the most. You would be stopped at a stop light and thats all they would do. Or driving down the middle of town doing it...was plain stupid.

ON another note, I actually did see some rather nice cars there.

This is one the fastest growing trends in san diego.
And so is having your wheels slanted like this:

whats the point of that? apart from rubbing at every turn at any speed.
one guy told me its for drifting... but then why the hell are these dumb looking things on our roads?

I don't believe the dorifto/hellflush connection. That screws all kinds of sh*t up.

Everything in moderation. Having a contact patch 4inches wide doesn't help anything lol.

Anyone else notice the rear view mirror....s in the miata?

most of them here have those rear view mirrors that stretch across the whole windsheild.
they claim they have no more blind spots after having about 5 mirrors.... good for them.

There is no point other than they like the look.

Frankly I think its dangerous and stupid, which is why I won't do it. Not to mention ugly.

I like how every single one of those cars sounded exactly the same and how they were doing clutch dumps bouncing off the rev limiter and they didnt even spin.. fast cars I tell ya!
