I've been meaning to post this gallery of tricked-out japanese trucks.
It's an interesting mix of roadwarrior meets the carnival.
I guess this is as untranslateable across cultures as american low-riders are. If you don't believe me, try and explain why people make low-riders to a European.
Could you imagine a group of those trucks pulling up behind you on a Tokyo freeway?
Oh, that reminds me, on my way home last night I was passed by a Vespa Scooter gang. There must have been 20 of them. I can't say I approve of the whole scooter mentality, but like with everything there is power in numbers.
1 lone dude on a scooter = pretty lame
20 dudes riding in a scooter group = something to behold
It wasn't awe-inspiring, take-your-breath-away stuff, it was more like "huh, there's 20 people riding around together on scooters like some kind of under-horsepowered motorcycle gang. That's interesting."
Alright, now I'm rambling.
