If fog lights still arent available in the US at that time, would you mind sending a pair back to the states for me?!

Anybody in Japan currently have any thoughts on this issue?

Mars2 · 12-15-2012, 01:31 AM

Again.
You will seat wrong side of the road!!!!!
How can you pass a slow truck on a B road? Unless you have a beautifull codriver telling when lane opposite is free :-)
So many of those british here in France stuck behind truck because they can't see to pass

I'm at the moment in Thailand also left side driving country I would hate to have to drive a LHD car RHD is the way to go.
I've drive in Thailand, Japan, UK, South Africa all left side of the road and I have hated it only in one of them, UK because i cross the pound with my french car LHD, was a night mare.

I would say use the opportunity to get some unique that you can't get in the US. Plus it would be less of a hassle. An older evo or skyline might interest you.

I hear Canadian troops overseas can ride ADM (Afghani Domestic Market) bicycles.

I can say that, I'm Canadian.

All they have down there in early 90s corollas and they are all yellow and/or white. I dont miss that stinky country one fkn bit

Step 1: Sell Scion FR-S
Step 2: Buy Toyota 86 in Japan
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!!!

ZmZMWagon · 12-16-2012, 01:39 PM

Ship it and you could probably find a local to buy it for twice it's calue once you come back to the States. A "Scion" left hand drive in Japan is a unique as having the Toyota Version in the States. You'll make money...

STJ · 12-16-2012, 01:51 PM

Leave it at home and buy something JDM while your there! Something like a old R32 because it will be 25 years old and easy to ship back because of that.

DatDudeLoso · 12-17-2012, 09:57 AM

U and me both brother. I dont know where im heading as of yet, but it's been told to me by my superiors that i may possibly be heading overseas, and i have absolutely no idea what i'm going to do...the joys
