More Japanese Wheels

It's that time again...time to review some of the sweet rides Okinawa has to offer.

To start things off, not a car, but a car's license plate.

(Trivia: Just to let you know how this works, you see the letter "A" below? This means this is a person who has SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) status here on Okinawa. In other words, Amerikajin.The A's (and yellow license plates) are for the small-engine cars (like golf-cart small) and the rest of us get Y's (and white plates). If you are Japanese (or other non-SOFA people) you get a Kanji symbol in that spot on your license plate that corresponds to the town you live in. So it's easy to spot the American drivers.)



If I was this driver, I would have refused this plate. No way would I be driving around in the sign of the beast. I doubt it has the same connotation here, but still!

Now, on to the wheels:


This model was second in the Toyota "Overlord" series. They are hoping it does better than last year's "Evil Dictator" model.



Doesn't everyone want to ride around town in a rabid dog?



Still looking for the elusive "C3PO"



Because the "Heckfire" wasn't nearly as sexy sounding.



And speaking of sexy...nothing says "sleek and sporty" quite like visions of a large, 19th century sailing vessel.

Until next time!
