After my day at the Tokyo Auto Show I headed to a Super Autobac. partially because I had heard things about it and because I was walking right by it and this Prius threw me completely off guard.
Comming from a small town in the states I had never, ever seen this type of love given to such a ridiculed chassis.. I kinda hate to say it, but I kinda liked it.. imagine it like it wasn't called a Prius and it wasn't a quite slow Prius and imagine it performed like an evo or an STi if that were the case I would have really liked it but its not the case to I only kinda liked it... whats up haters
In case you were worried if that was the only car that caught my eye, I'll let you know that the Evo below was the car that initially caught my eye and then I walked over to the Prius because, like I said, I'd never seen
anything
And then I saw another Prius.. with the wheels and the triple exit bumper exhaust
and the actual exhaust I'm sure this thing is a weapon on the track. Then I went inside because I couldn't handle it anymore.
So basically what I was picking up from this place is that it is like an auto zone or an oriely auto parts on but on the next level.
they had just about everything and anything you could want for your car, and considering that this place was n the heart of odaiba where some of the most incredible automotive events happen in the world i would have to be big.
The only thing I can relate this to is the store in the fast and the furious "The Racer's Edge" whre brian spilner worked "slingin' Parts for harry"
I came to Japan three months after purchasing my corolla and couldnt not buy the AE86 book in the upper right corner.
after buying it I headed back out and enjoyed some more Japanese Air Pumps in their natural habitat.
I really really liked this little GTO the white paint and gold wheel combo was next level stuff.
As I was walking away this MP4-12C drove in and I had to capture it. I can't belive how small it looked compared to the Porsche Panemara.
So that's my general experience at the autobacs. It was not disappointing.
