Can it be that this utterly insane Japanese car style movement hasn't been discussed here at length?

Bosozoku!

In reply to Ranger50:

I lived in Japan for 7 years. Cars like this are only allowed to be on the road once a year. New years eve.

When we were driving back to the base after partying all night long in NYE, we would see them all tore up on the side of the Shuto expressway. Police would put up barricades to get them off the road.. It was fun!

Boso cars have popped up here sporadically for probably 8 years or so.

I dig them. So distinctly Japanese wackiness.

Has anyone gone full-out Boso on some iconic American car yet? That would be sweet...

Boso style maybe 1 day a year, Dekotora was all the time. It was kinda cool to see trucks at night.

As far as Boso style, drift cars are looking just as ridiculous these days.

Yep. It ain't about being able to see them, its about showing you that they have TVs in their car

I thought that was stance or stanced out or just stupid. The whole tire stretching thing is kinda boggling.
