Japanese guys with R34 M-Specs will let you sit in the car and tell you what you want to know about it. Everyone appreciates everyone else’s car. The Stagea community is all about hanging out together and meeting up.

    I had the same experience with Japanese Culture and how kind they are as you did Mickey. It was absolute culture shock when I had to walk past road work on a sidewalk. The entire crew stopped working, bowed to me, and escorted me and my friend around the work zone. This work zone wasn't big at all and I could have easily walked past it without ever making eye contact with them. But they made sure to escort us. It was insane.

    Man, this was so cool to watch you go through the real process of getting your car worked on in Japan.
    I’m sure you payed for the service, but it was worth it, wasn’t it? Your safe and you know they did you straight.
    Enjoy your time here.
