I already did that all over the mountains in Hokkaido. It was awesome, I dont think they will ever let me rent a car there again. But renting and car and driving around Tokyo is futile, even if you somehow make it out of the city, you soon find that despite what might be portrayed in Initial D and in general most all of Japanese touge/dorifto lore, the hills and backroads within driving distance of Tokyo are few, far, crowded, treacherous, and heavily patrolled Ive already visited all the tuner shops, I really dont care, but the price of airfare/hotel/food/and transpo in this package is still cheaper than i can do putting it all together even with my hookups, and you get the first day press pass day hook up.

Oh, heres the car I rented when i worked at the Japan WRC, this is the cleanest it was all week

nice, 14's? lol

yeah its definitely a good package...but for a first trip i dont know. Like you dont buy a Lotus Elise for a first car, there are more important things to check off.

Ive been on Google Earth for days, i have all the roads i want to see tagged. I would bother driving in any major city. I mainly want to see the roads, i dont care if i get to drive them fast.

I dont know what you guys call ****, but this is mine...check out her curves

If I get to push the school to a later date, I would love to hook up with some i-Club folks.
