Yes you see some odd things at dikokufuto rest area I never liked the bass vans and the odd old school styles ....funny how he didn't take any pics of the other cars. but still you notice NO ****ING HONDAS!!!!

 

You mean cars like this?





or this?



There really weren't any non-bosozoku cars there... It was just after New Year's, and all the boso's came up from the Shonan communities of Kanagawa-ken. The ones above are from the rest stops along the C1 (Wangan)...

The only Hondas I ever saw there, an ITR and a CTR:



Oh, and the reason for my low/ground shots... I didn't have a tripod, there were boso's everywhere, and it was dark... Ground shots were clear (with a slow shutter) and not conspicuous.


Oh, and as far as those cars being ugly... They are what gave birth to the import movement... The hashiriya, the rolling-zoku, etc... It all stems from these cars, and their style is nothing new. Its been the same since the 70's. Those external oil coolers are part of the heritage (they were installed that way on the KPGC10 Skyline GT-R "hakosuka" touring cars in the early 70's).
