Import.

So I'm in Pasadena visiting from Oregon for the week. I have seen a couple 86s (orange/silver) but I've noticed there are a lot of German owners here compared to anything else. I'm curious is the import sene not as big here? I figured it would be a lot more popular here. What gives?!

Your just not in the right place at the right time. I think Cali has one of the biggest import scenes

Unfortunately I don't have a say where we go. I was just expecting more to be on the road.

German cars are imported...

The time I went to Oregon, the only import I saw was Subaru. Pasadena is an upper economic area, go to other areas, especially college or bar areas where younger folks hang out and you'll see tons of modified Japanese, German, American cars
