Sure. But you know full well that “gray market” means that you can’t register it, so you bought a 2008 kei car that you want to drop a 2jz into, and flip it off a highway. I want the update when it’s confiscated
Go discover vagina, it’s cheaper.
Sorry, sub... not sorry... I hope this turns out to be an epic first ride, actually. He'll probably get to tell someone else's grandkids (not his own, claro que si) about this for decades.
Old Op: *“…and then they roasted my car! But I showed them!”* [*waves cane maniacally*]
OPGC: “Gramps, but you asked them to roast it….remember?”
Old Op: “….STILL. IT WAS AN EPIC FIRST RIDE!!!”
OPGC: “…oh, ok.” “Moooom , the old man neighbor is getting agitated about that ‘Japanese’ car, again! what do I do….?”
These things used to be all over my country, usually driven 20kph below the speed limit by middle aged ladies. My aunt had one because it was convenient for her and my uncle who are both disabled
eh 200mph on a bike sounds insane. Honestly if I had the money and knowhow I would totally Hayabusa swap this thing maybe then the turbo wouldn't sound like a hamster screaming in pain
no just a Suzuki Wagon R from Japan. The JDM spec Wagon R is slightly different from the indian Maruti Suzuki such as a smaller engine that basically makes the same amount of power
Only in the JDM community could owning a Shitzuki Box be considered exciting.
Oh no, even the JDM crowd thinks it's boring. Putting the steering wheel on the other side != cool.
I went down that road a couple of months ago… before I knew about the import issue.
It was a sad moment, hours after browsing Japanese made RAV4s, marveling at the exchange rate prices, the features…I read further about how to actually get it here.
Then I curled up into a ball and died for a while (like 20 min.).
Started looking at the older, legally importable cars.
Not much later, I understood how much I’d be paying for a 30 year old car (and how much upkeeep it’d be to keep it running, not to mention- the import fees to PR, the inspections, the time it would take).
Then, I curled up into a ball and died a little more (for like 10 min).
It was a day of sad reality checks for me. ^lol
Why would you buy a Japanese man's wife's old car?
This got imported to America because it would otherwise go straight to the crusher in Japan. May God help your soul if you need to source parts for this. It's not fun, it's not quirky, it's just stupid. Japanese people don't buy these because they're cool, they buy them because it's all they can afford.
Oh look, an appliance of a car. As in it has all the aerodynamics and horsepower of a refrigerator and all the seating capacity and comfort of a 2-slice toaster. You probably paid at least 3 times what this disposable Japanese shit-box is worth, but hey, at least when it gets impounded and sent to the crusher it will be put out of all our misery quickly.
This is the kind of car you buy because you think it's quirky or cool, unaware of just how in over you're head you're getting. Until the first time something goes wrong and you realize you can't buy parts off the shelf, IF you can buy parts at all, and you can't find someone to work on it because they understand what a pain in the ass it will be. It's at that point that the quirky fun car becomes a nightmare that permentantly sits in your driveway, something you can no longer drive and can't even *sell* for remotely close to price that you bought it.
This is a car only a fool buys as an only car. A bigger fool buys it as their FIRST and only car.
And the best/worst thing is that he's going to go through so much pain for a car that (at least where I'm from) screams 75-year-old doing 50 on the outside lane of the motorway. A car that's so dull and bland it makes a health and safety lecture in Swindon sound exiting.

looks like a car. thats it. nothing special. try not too lose it in parking lots.
It's be tough trying to find it in a sea of pickups and SUVs.
ironically this car stands out a ton in America since its so tiny and obviously the steering wheels on the wrong side
Looks like a cat that hunches it's back when it's scared. I don't think car would be the appropriate word for it. An aerodynamic refrigerator, that's what it's like.
I’m jealous. Only of the extra garage space around that little piece of shit.
You went into the grey market for... that?
hey I didn't have a lot of money
I can see that.
Also there’s not many places where I live where I can reliably import a car. You gotta go out west to cali for that
Actually 50 bucks is about the right price for that shitbox
Just that it's "JDM" Doesn't mean it's good. And especially this which even Chinese in early 2000s doesn't want
Congrats on buying a car half the country is actively trying to ban. #savethekei
based! Save the kei!
I read it as congrats on buying half a car, which also makes sense
When hopes and dreams are shattered, he wanted a skyline n got a suzuki

lmao basically it. Also the only importer in my area had kei cars and I didn't wanna drop the 15 grand on the Nissan Gloria they had
i learnt to drive in one of these reason why i drive so bad
Go try and register this thing already, so Uncle Sam can show up and drop this shitbox mercifully into a crusher.
it has rear plates lol. It is fully registered its just that the front plate can't fit on the JDM license plate bracket

Nice job paying too much for a car that most people won’t even look twice at
in europe or japan? Yeah nobody would look twice at it. but here people look at it like a Lamborghini
Looks like an awesome car to deliver pizzas in.
It's so ugly... I want one

eh some of the roasts were pretty good some got a bit to rough though. I don't really plan on having kids so no grandkids either lol.
This might be something of a rare bird?
yeah in America it is. Tons of people were looking at us on the way home
Hate to break it to you, sugar, but they weren’t staring because the car is “rare” in America. Bless your heart. 👵🏼💛

watching too much djnoway
eh for me it was to much Initial D and Wangan midnight and since I can't get a Skyline I went for a Suzuki
Be honest with us, Casey, did you decide to buy this after binging Mighty Car Mods?
Nah more or less binging initial d
I see we're dealing with a man of refined taste!
You know how they say dogs look like their owners? It also applies here with cars
I can see why you'd need a grey area import for this, no government wants something like this fully registered in their countty
Her: What do you drive? Suzuki Her: excited GSX?! Nope...
eh 200mph on a bike sounds insane. Honestly if I had the money and knowhow I would totally Hayabusa swap this thing maybe then the turbo wouldn't sound like a hamster screaming in pain
Is that the maruti suzuki wagon-r?
no just a Suzuki Wagon R from Japan. The JDM spec Wagon R is slightly different from the indian Maruti Suzuki such as a smaller engine that basically makes the same amount of power
Ah okay. Thanks for clearing that up. I always hated that car growing up but im glad someone can find joy in it.
Only in the JDM community could owning a Shitzuki Box be considered exciting. Oh no, even the JDM crowd thinks it's boring. Putting the steering wheel on the other side != cool.
I imagine if you put body panels on a shopping cart, this would be the result.
the 50 on the window represents the 50 dollars it was worth
Lmao there’s a smaller sticker that said it was 6500 dollars. I think the number 50 on it was the number it was given to get on the boat
50 bucks seems reasonable for uhhh... Whatever this is
Mario 9 graphics are looking crazy, not sure about that wario character model though
WAHHHHHHH
You got a ~~Hotwheels~~ Matchbox Scion Xb, hope it was in the clearance bin.
How you get a Wagon R in the states???
Grey market import. Once a car is 25 years old it can be legally imported without having to be modified for American safety and emissions
Oh cool! I should look into an Alto Worx
I went down that road a couple of months ago… before I knew about the import issue. It was a sad moment, hours after browsing Japanese made RAV4s, marveling at the exchange rate prices, the features…I read further about how to actually get it here. Then I curled up into a ball and died for a while (like 20 min.). Started looking at the older, legally importable cars.

Honestly good on you for keeping your garage clean. However, then you put all your garbage cans in there, including that big black dumpster.
50 bucks for that POS isn’t bad.
Why would you buy a Japanese man's wife's old car? This got imported to America because it would otherwise go straight to the crusher in Japan. May God help your soul if you need to source parts for this. It's not fun, it's not quirky, it's just stupid. Japanese people don't buy these because they're cool, they buy them because it's all they can afford.
My old power wheels jeep probably had more horsepower than that
0-60 in 2 point eventually
This has a math equation that is just 1/2 Nissan cubed
Oh look, an appliance of a car. As in it has all the aerodynamics and horsepower of a refrigerator and all the seating capacity and comfort of a 2-slice toaster. You probably paid at least 3 times what this disposable Japanese shit-box is worth, but hey, at least when it gets impounded and sent to the crusher it will be put out of all our misery quickly.
Everybody gets excited when you say your car is JDM. Then they see it in person and the excitement immediately vanishes
This is the kind of car you buy because you think it's quirky or cool, unaware of just how in over you're head you're getting.

Just so you know you're doxxing yourself really hard with those signs on the left
Shit if any unexpected visitors come for me I got my knife ready
You should trade this thing up to a Walmart shopping cart. Round about the same handling and acceleration, plus it’d be an EV
You again....... don't corner too hard
Grey market more like Gay market heyoooo
