CAR!!!!!

OK, So my car ROCKS!! Its kinda HUGE for Japan though. But man its a 1997 Laurel, which is basicly the upper end for Japan. Its either a 2 or 2.5 liter, so a bit of a gas guzzler but man is there power in that thing! I have to feather it all the way! But its so cool, it comes with basicly everything I need, it even has the minimum insurrance already tacked onto the car so I don't have to worry about getting arrested w00t! I still need second insurrance, so I can drive on Highways and not worry about you know have to pay out of the ass for an accident.

But, the link is basicly what the car looks like, but mine is SUPER CLEAN! I think my Kyoto (Vice Principle) Got the car service AND detailed, its so clean inside! Its just wow, the interior is nice, the outside is nice. Even though its a 1997, there is a cd player and cassette and the sound system is GREAT!

But...DRIVING man its scary. Everything is inverted even the turn signals (i.e. its on the left hand and up is left turn and down is a right turn) Very weird. I hit the windshield wipers alot! Also the car is large and the roads in Japan are PAINFULLY small. Its about the size of the TL so I have experience driving such a car (i.e. my older sisters) But roads here are so much different, and since the drivers side is the right I'm not used to having to assess how close I am to the left side. Also I'm not used to driving with just like 1 inch space from me and certain doom and accident. (Which everyone in Japan is)

On the bright side I can still reverse with the best of them! And my judgment skills arn't so bad (for a person with no depth perception what so ever) BUT directions...also alot of roads I'm used to taking on my Bike are just impossible (and illegal) to ride on in my car. So I hit quiet a few one way roads AND some pedestrian only roads...but I swear I've seen cars on some of those...strange...

Anyway once I buy a camera charger I'll post pics! The car is so PIMP, I debate sucking it up and paying the shakken(something we don't have in America but it's expensive) come September (But then I'll only be here for a year more =/) Well see when the time comes, its a REALLY nice car though. SQUEE FREE CAR! (I really need to give my Kyoto some happy bonus thank you money.) Since I think he actually had to pay to give me this car (paper work, extra insurance...yeah) once again w00t FREE CAR!
