I personally find Boso. They are very interesting, and make you think how the person came up with the idea in the first place.
To add on, these people actually spend time and money on their cars, where ricers in america just seem to duct tape everything and buy ebay bumpers.

LOL. I used to always see this at west portal on the way to work. I believe the guy that owns it works at some small grocery store there.
Suprised it looks a little different because he used to have a ****load of stickers from aftermarket parts companies on there.

And goddammit, it's not "boso", that just means "violent/explosive running" in Japanese!

The original inspiration for kaidoh racers came from the aero seen on FIA Group A touring cars and Group B rally cars, combined with some contemporary street styling cues. Hence the term itself: kaidoh = street, so it's a racer (that is, race car) for the street. As the trend went on, a lot of owners wanted to one up each other and an "arms race" of sorts started; after a little while, things just became downright outlandish. You can say the trend really took off thanks to attention whoring.

In case anyone was wondering what the bosozoku lifestyle was all about... (with period accurate music!)
P.S. i-Club does not condone any exhibitions of speed on public roads, even if they occurred 5,000 miles away and over 25 years ago. Thank you.
