This is the car I drive in Japan, quickly parked in a 7-11 lot. It's a 5th generation Toyota Chaser and it's quite awesome. It's rear-wheel drive and apparently was the competitor to the Nissan Skyline sedan(!)

It can be crazy to drive this beast down narrow streets and alleys but the engine has quite a lot of power and that makes driving fun...needs a bath btw. I'll treat it to one on the next nice-ish day!

I've gotten used to driving on the other side of the road -- so much so it'd be initially tricky to get around in the USA =) Also, I'll take new photos when I get winter tires put on since I'll have new rims.

Hey & thanks! Yeah, it roars and is quite loud even when sitting inside driving. I want to really hear it rev up and accelerate from outside.
