this thread is sure going off topic.. lol and i'm contributing to it! so true about the cars getting messed with... my s2k got egged on the drivers side door right before i sold it... left a frickin impact crater. tryin to save up for a place with a garage but as others said it's flippin expensive here. but everyone i grew up with is either here or in tokyo, cars last forever here because of the weather, the beach is nice, and i can get plenty of japanese food here. so i don't wanna leave. and tokyo's even more expensive
