Pete is correct you aren’t allowed to import a car to the US that is 25 years or newer. This was to battle the cheaper pricing of Japanese vehicles back in the late 80s and early 90s.

Pete is correct on the US restricting imports on cars less than 25 years old. This is due to bill H.R.2628 - Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act of 1988. In the late 80s European car manufacturers (mainly Mercedes) and car dealerships lobbied for it since people would import grey market cars from other countries for cheaper than buying directly from US dealerships thanks to the US dollar being so much stronger than other currencies at the time thus causing them to lose out on the money they would have been making on local sales. They had the law pushed through under the guise that the imported cars didn't all meet US safety and emissions regulations even though nobody had a problem with it up to that point and there weren't laws preventing it, it only suddenly became a problem once the manufacturers and dealerships started making a fuss about it. Once a car hits 25 years old to the exact month of being manufactured it is exempt from Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and can legally be imported, for example right now any car up to November 1998 can be imported without any issues but a car from December 1998 is still illegal until December 1st. Only exception is California which requires relatively expensive modifications to meet their stricter emissions requirements. You can theoretically import a newer car if it's identical to something that is also sold locally in the US and the foreign model still meets all the same safety standards as the US model and either meets US emissions standards or is modified to meet them. For instance a car sold in both the US and Canada is very likely to be either exactly the same or close enough you can in somewhat easily make the changes to meet the standards. You wouldn't really save much time or money (if any) compared to just buying locally doing this though, especially after paperwork, taxes, customs/import fees, and any potentially required changes. You can also technically import cars newer than 25 years by importing multiple of them after requesting permission under the requirement of you doing all the modification necessary to make them meet current US regulations and then doing all the required emissions and crash testing to prove the modifications are actually good enough but it's not worth all the money to do that and destroy cars in the process. There was a company in the early 2000s named Motorex that did this with R32 Nissan Skylines and then decided to start breaking the law by also starting to import other cars like R33s and R34s and stop doing the required modifications all together. This led to them eventually getting caught and raided with all the cars at their shop being seized, any car that was already sold and in the possession of any of their customers were given a special document giving those specific cars an exemption from the laws and making them the only legally available cars of their kind at the time. You can't even import a car newer than 25 years simply to keep in storage until it becomes legal, U.S Customs and Border Protection will seize the car at the port after determining that it's not 25 years old and send it off to be crushed. Whenever a car does manage to slip through being illegaly imported they're usually then (even more illegaly) registered as a completely different car and it pretty much becomes a cat and mouse game until the car eventually gets discovered and flagged, after which it will be hunted down by U.S Customs and Border Protection who will seize it and eventually send it off to the crusher. You can find a bunch of videos and photos of them crushing things like Minis, Land Rovers, Skylines, etc. saying it's because the cars are "hazardous". There are entire companies in Japan (and I'd imagine other countries as well) that offer storage for cars until they hit 25 years old for a monthly fee and some export companies also offer a similar service. There's a very short list of newer/rare cars that are exceptions that can be imported if they are declared significant enough (if they're deemed historically or technologically important) that can be imported under Show or Display, but you're not legally allowed to drive any of those cars for anything but maintenence and upkeep purposes and for no more than a total of 2,500 miles a year. The only reason this very restricted exemption even exists because Bill Gates pushed hard for it after he ordered a Porsche 959 which was seized as contraband and put in storage at the Port of San Francisco by Customs, it wasn't until after Show or Display was passed 13 years after the car was seized that they released it into his custody. Canada has similar import laws on cars but it's 15 years insted of 25.

I lived in China for 9 years, leaving this year. Yes, loads of Chinese EV cars and a few Teslas on the road in China. Went back to the UK for a few months, didn't see a single Chinese EV, quite a few Japanese and Korean Hybrids though. Now living in Southern Vietnam, no Chinese cars at all. All Toyota, Mazda and Hyundai, the only EV is the local Vinfast.

I feel like Chris would be horrified to know that I wake up at around 5:45 AM during the work week. 😂

My family lived in Japan when I was younger. When we moved back to the states, my dad exported a brand new van back, but that was in the late 80s and my dad was military.

Thanks for reading out my email ❤ I couldn't find anywhere online about meeting up after the onsen when separated by gender, so that's why my question was so damn specific haha I will just stand and scream "I'M FINISHED!" as per your advice 😂

When you were talking about this Sato and that Sato, Ugly Sato, VP Sato...in my mind I was totally picturing The Smurfs 😂

I used to be enthusiastic about electric cars, but I no longer think the future is going to be fully electric. We've all seen the problems with electric vehicles. It makes so much more sense to buy a hybrid right now. I think Toyota made the right choice by not going with the electric hype, and they will be the big winner in the future.

I love it when Chris does a Sharla accent impersonation, cracks me up...i wonder what Sharla thinks abourrit !

Back in the late 90's and early 2000's phones from japan looked like the future, I never understood why they where not sold world wide. They did contact swapping via IR, that's still a pain today.

Oh, the 25 year rule is actually about things like US spec for emissions and headlights and safety equipment and all that stuff that needs to be tested/adapted for the US market, it's just that cars over 25 years and certain specified 'collector' cars are exempt. And, oh, I can't seem to recall the specifics but JVC got bought out/merged with another company or two. (Maybe Panasonic? Toshiba? (I always used to swear by JVC and Panasonic for stuff. I haven't actually been shopping for much for a while, thus couldn't tell you if the products are as good now.)

Really informative and entertaining episode, like always. But this time round the settings on Chris's microphone were off, he sounded like he was on the toilet the whole podcast.

Chris is looking extra affable lately, good job on the health journey the results are really showing! 🙌🏽

In the late 70s early 80s Japan was actually known for making knock offs of American guitars that were BETTER than the originals

Didn't realise Pete lives in Leigh 😄 Probably walked past you in the Peterboat without realising.

Tesla's build quality has greatly improved the last couple of years, the panel gaps that Pete spoke of are no longer an issue.

Interesting you talk about the car industry, I always wondered if you would ever do a video about Toyota-shi near Nagoya. They basically renamed it to Toyota as the city is pretty a Toyota Corporation Community/Economy homeland

Hey Chris & Pete, Brad here - an Aussie abroad in LA. Question - a few of my favorite themed bars I found in Japan in days of yore were Redrum - Shining themed bar in Shirakawa City, American Beauty - cothemed around the band and the movie in Osaka, and Sex Machine - a James Brown themed izakaya alao in Osaka. Do either of you guys have places you’ve found with a cool or wtf theme from a foreign influence? Thanks and have a good one!

JVC still exists, it just merged with Kenwood in 2011 and they still make TVs funnily enough. Of course, camcorders are a thing of the past generally, so, they do not make anything like that anymore.

Nice otamatone collection Pete

I've got over 476,000 kms on a 08 Honda Fit in Nova Scotia Canada, home of sea salt and road salt. I'll never buy another brand of vehicle.

Chris you should do a show on the export of Japanese used cars. Russia, Africa, Canada, US, Australia, Asia etc all have lots of used Japanese exports. The Auction facilities in Japan are absolutely huge. (contact Derek at Pacific Coast JDM)

Germany, China, Japan were the top 3 car exporters in 2022, the USA just behind Mexico in 5th.

I think the japanese car industry is making the right bet with Hydrogen cars. The technology is safer than electric cars during crash (no instant burning). It is much less polluting to manufacture and it will push for more power plant (nuclear) to produce the hydrogen. So western countries (and japan, korea) will be more independent power wise. I can also foresee western countries being happy to push hydrogen since china as gone on all in on electric. These are very geopolitical matters

When I lived in Japan from 2000-2004, my air force friend dismantled a Nissan Skyline and managed to ship it home when he was deployed back to the US.

Pete's happier in his old studio

I'm living for the Sharla impressions 🤣🤣🤣 Not even close, but is? 🤣🤣🤣🖤🖤🖤 ps Give him a good kick Sharla ☠️☠️☠️

Actually thought Chris' impression of Sharla was pretty good

I’m getting strong Phil Collins vibes every time I see your head profile. And thinking about it even your voice is also similar to his, Pete. Related?

Chris san, About Japanese car exporting to US, if the car was right side drivers seat cars (and all domestic market cars made and sold in Japan,) you have to wait 25 years. After 25 years old, you can sale and drive in US whatever as is… But Japanese maker made car for US market is already fit with American standards, you can export and selling with out much problems except high import tax at US custom. Australia has similar import law. You have to wait 30 years to import and driving around US made “wrong side drivers seat cars”

EV isn't the solution yet due to infrastructures and definitely not the greenest as people thought when you dive into it. I'd be interested in the Toyota Hydrogen engine if it ever comes to fruition with also the same infrastructure problems.

A few EV bits: Hydrogen can power "zero emission" vehicles as well as any other technology (somewhat), but the technology to produce hydrogen as fuel is very expensive at this point. Most people won't find a "Hydrogen fueling station" anywhere near them. And the prices are mind-boggling. Toyota usually leases hydrogen vehicles, and provides a generous amount of hydrogen fill-ups with them. It's "not ready for prime time" at this point. Norway is a whole different story from any other area on this planet. Norway has the highest per-capita income on the planet. Over a number of years, Norway started charging ever-increasing taxes and fees for "combustion" vehicles -- along with VAT, there were taxes for vehicle weight, horsepower, emissions, you name it. I'm not from Norway, and I've read some conflicting things, but apparently you could pay around three times the vehicle's price in taxes and fees. Think of a $50,000 vehicle, with $150,000 in taxes in fees, a total of $200,000. But then Norway decided to waive ALL of those taxes and fees if you bought an electric vehicle. So, of course, people RAN out and bought like $100,000 vehicles for half the price of a vehicle worth $50,000. "That's how you get your population to adopt electric vehicles." Norway uses vehicle taxes and fees to pay for a wide range of government programs, and guess what? "Government revenue decreased substantially." Early this year (2023), Norway started adding some of those fees onto electric vehicles, and now you read about people going back to combustion vehicles, most likely hybrids. But that's the story there. Finally, my view about Toyota is that they have a history of "selling cars." They're not very interested in making cars that won't sell in great volumes. And for most vehicle manufacturers, they simply can't get their hands on enough batteries and/or battery-making materials to make very many battery electric vehicles. Toyota's stance is that they can make dozens of hybrid vehicles with the battery materials that would be needed for ONE full battery electric vehicle. So, they have been making -- and selling -- every hybrid vehicle they can possibly manufacture. In the last full year -- 2022 -- worldwide, Toyota sold FIVE (5) of the top TEN (10) consumer vehicle models on the planet. Models like RAV4, Corolla, Camry, but also Hilux -- the inexpensive pickup truck they sell in less developed countries, and mostly don't sell in the most developed countries at all. So, I get the impression that Toyota is doing EXACTLY what they plan to be doing, at any given time.

There are, or were, at this point, supposedly entire warehouses full of Nissan Skylines and other sought over JDM cars, just sitting around until the 25-years from date of manufacture US import ban on them expired. Already bought and paid for, but otherwise just sitting there.

Toyota were crowing about hydrogen that didn't happen recently announced about electric Toyota even after Lexus having electric cars, in this case Japan is so far behind China etc dont know if they have left their run too late

Have you ever heard of the swarms of yukimushi in Hokkaido/ would you be interested in doing a video on it?

It’s so funny that they are Burger King’s all around the world in so many different countries. But here in America, nobody eats there. The same for KFC I honestly do not see how they stay in business. t’s funny, too, because foreigners see those American companies and probably think Americans eat that. But we don’t. But we do eat the hell out of some McDonald’s lol and Chick-fil-A. Do they have a Chick-fil-A in Japan yet?

The nissan leaf with an air source heat pump was a technical marvel, tesla did not put them in the model 3 until the 2021 model refresh, we would have gone for a new leaf (have the original) if not for the rapid charge problem (rapid gate) we instead bought a tesla 3 which is the biggest piece of shit gone wrong in existence

Norway has provided MASSIVE subsidy (wonderful transfer of tax money to rich car buyers) to push EVs.

Did y'all see the story about the missing Japanese KitKats ordered by Bokksu? It was in the New York Times this week and it's a wild ride of a tale.

Didnt know Chris had a podcast, here to stay !!

People really like hating on Miyazaki nowadays huh.

I know the age limit on cars thing is an Australian thing, Any car older than one built in 1989, sure, anything manufactured after that year, there's a whole thing you gotta go through to import older cars. Bit strange when there's no longer a mass manufacturing industry in Australia these days.

Nice 'one eyed man' reference.

You'd probably have to change the steering wheel to the other side to drive a Japanese used car in the States? 😅 NZ is full of used Japanese cars because we drive on the same side of the road. Chinese cars, less common

I would love a Subaru EV, they're great cars for winter where I live

I live in Ecuador, and I would say new Chinese cars outnumber new Japanese cars quite a bit here, and that's a change that's only happened in the past 10 years. It's just how cheap Great Wall trucks are, plus how cheap Chery cars are. No EVs here except in the Galapagos islands, and then they are Kias.

Plaza Accord and the Japanese financial crash along side Asian financial crisis in the 1990s destroyed the Japanese confidence and risk taking appetite. US literally forced them to make their currency so expensive that their prefect economic model didn't work at all.

Hi

I come from a middle income class when they mock you for not buying a toyota car 😂

When I was growing up in Thailand, you will be hard press to find non-Japanese car in normal household (you will find American and European luxury car among car enthusiast or rich household). I went back to thailand recently and noticed an insane increase of Chinese car (MG and Ora Funky Cat). They are super aggressive at marketing and popup all over the country in less than 5 years.

100% correct 25 year old to import a car into the US

Actually China is the biggest car export country in the world, EV or gas cars. Japan is 2nd now.

China does sell more cars than any other country but the majority are domestic sales. I've just come back from China the first trip since 2020 and there are more Chinese EV's on the road than before.

Chris is also killing the calorie count

Even if China was to run them by with brands and sales, few brands in the world is as safe as Japanese cars. We all know "made in Japan" stands for the highest quality.

Unfortunately the film by Myazakaki's son, Tales From Earthsea, isn't of the same calibre as other Ghibli works (outside of the animation, which is typically beautiful). Even the writer of the source material, Ursula K. Le Guin, didn't like movie.

Sony was slow to react to change. They lived on the Trenton Screens for years & spent money over here in the UK on "Sony Centres" but Sony lost their edge. Granted the Sony Tuners & Mini Disc players were good but once again like Betamax then Sony was on the wrong side of a format that won. I do remember seeing some where that it was the Playstation that "SAVED" Sony & the film business to a certain extent. It took them a while to refocus so to speak & now the Camera market is where they do alot of business as well as sensors in Phones. The days of Sony Trinitron TV's & the 80's long gone. These days for TV's its LG, Samsung & Panasonic. A friend has a 4K Toshiba from Costco for £350 & its a cracking TV. The names of TDK/JVC/Toshiba are a shell of what they use to be but Ive got a few Toshiba USB 3 External HDD's & are brilliant.

Here I am trying to eat healthy and I have to listen to these guys talk about Burger King for 10 minutes

#faxmachine Hi Chris and Pete, I recently read about how Japan had its hottest November day on record of 27.5C. With predictions for a hot autumn and less snowfall this winter. Do you think Japan is adapting fast enough to climate change? Is it something the government takes seriously? As a country that already endures hot and humid summers is this something that concerns you about your future living there? Have you noticed any changes in your 10 years living there? It is something that concerns me when thinking about potentially moving there. Thanks!

I boycotted McDonalds about two years ago... and switched over to Burger King or the Australian equivalent, Hungry Jacks... because they were just phoning it in... and I mean, it was hard but apparently the persistence is starting to catch on with folks... everywhere... or at least, the internet would have you believe. That people are now also boycotting McDonalds, in other places... for whatever reason they have...

I can’t wait for Pete’s car to arrive now that he’s talked about it for weeks!

I still like Japanese quality. Sonly Xperia 1 V and Denon X4800h purchased this year but they are expensive and niche products. Japan lagging behind Korean manufacturers.

Chris, this is the most Japanese podcast title I've ever seen. You’ve perfectly assimilated.

I would not buy a Chinese car. Given the issues with China and the potential for conflict with the West. I would think that would be a bad idea.

“Kee-yo-oh”?

canada is 15 years

Nijo castle is cool. Nijo jinya is cooler

Doesn't surprise me if they have surpassed Japan, China is kinda going crazy on all technological fronts as of late. Also Pete is right about the difficulty importing cars from Japan, this is basically as Chris said, American car companies are STILL scared of Japanese cars taking over the road even more than they have so far. A lot of the big name American companies put a lot of limitations on Japanese imports so they didn't lose out on any more money, gotta love capitalism!

こんばんは carburettor Chris and piston Pete, with the car show coming up, have you heard any cultural stereotypes around different sorts of cars in Japan? Here we have stereotypes around my s’y MPVs, small cars for the elderly, white van man, and Audi drivers. Have you heard of any sort of similar cultural motoring stereotypes there? Ta for keeping me company on my (grey van woman) drives around Blighty.

Hayao Miyazaki did not say Goro's work was "shit", he said (roughly) 'my son is still a boy, he isn't ready yet'. Which, if you've seen the work, is definitely an accurate assessment. I think Hayao could definitely be a better father if he supported his son more, and he himself has admitted he isn't a good father in that regard, he just can't bring himself to not call a spade a spade.

I read the title as "Is Japan’s Car Industry Losing to Chris" at first...imma see myself out

Regarding Pete's recalling of the awkward Hayao Miyazaki incident about him commenting on how disgusting zombie animation is. While that did indeed happen, it wasn't his son that was the target of his ire. His son had nothing to do with that animation team whose zombie animation annoyed Miyazaki. Pete might have confused that incident with another one, that happened during the premiere of his son's movie, where after the movie started, he just walked out of the theatre and just decided to have a smoke, saying the movie's not even worth watching. What a dick move.

Stay away from the sugar, Chris. There's already a lot of sugar creeping into lots of products that shouldn't have any in the ingredients. So you're probably already eating a lot of sugar without even knowing it. Yoyoing between weight loss and weight gain messes with metabolism (as I well know), and there's more diabetes 2 appearing in younger people now. Less food challenges, more travelling this year.

Imma be real I'm never buying chinese car

Some corrections. 1: Miyazaki has been an absentee father to his son for basically his whole life, so his son really, really wanted to appeal to him through animation. If I recall, it was the Earthsea movie, which... wasn't brilliant, but whatever. Anyway, Miyazaki, fully knowing this, left mid-movie and said "it's good that he's experimenting with animation direction. He should stop". Which is somehow worse than just saying it was shit. 2: The procedural animation wasn't at his studio. It was at a university. They were kids. They were writing a program that would, through repeated trial and error, basically teach an amorphous blob-person to walk. Miyazaki didn't take kindly to it because he knows people with severe mobility issues and took offense and Kinda railed into the kids a bit. Okay, a lot.

Quick correction for the Japan Mobility Show segment! I went there, and most of full EVs that were at the show were from BYD (China) or Mercedes (Germany). All the Japanese EVs were vague concepts that won’t even be starting to to be thought about maybe going into production till at least 2025 or later. All the Japanese cars were normal petrol cars or hybrids, no different from 2008. Japan is HOPELESSLY behind, and the whole show should have been a swift kick in the gonads for the Japanese car industry!

#faxmachine Here is a random question! Do people wear cloaks in the winter in Japan? Do you think that people would give me weird looks if I wore one during a trip as part of my warmth layers?

The start of this episode feels like its been recorded at 10 fps its so choppy, had to swap around to another monitor and no, even at 280hz its choppy as hell. Did your cameras have a seizure?

Japan is smart and doesn't make cheap garbage with components obtained from slave labor. They know that EVs are a bridge to nowhere.

Hey Chris, are you gonna make a different facial expression for every podcast thumbnail? That'd be wickid!!

Yup you definitely can’t export a car from Japan to the US until it’s at least 25 years old.

Well it's already lost. China became the largest exporter in 5 years with many companies that didn't even exist then. Pete is wrong about the car quality in China. The cars are much better quality than Teslas in terms of fit and finish, also offer more features.

I used to love Burger King. even though about 15 years ago I chipped a tooth when one of their burgers had a bone in it. Then 2 years ago I broke a tooth in half when a chicken nugget had a rib bone in it... I complained to them about it, and they said I had no proof, even though I had pictures of the rib bone in a half chewed nugget with the rest of the meal in the photo.. why would I stage something like that... the least they could have done was apologize. But all they did was accuse me of lying and tell me to get lost. So I will never eat Burger King again. which is fine, my town has its own local burger joint that is 1000x better. All locally grown ingredients including the beef, and the burgers and milkshake are genuinely the best I have ever had.

Thanks for making me youtube famous. Your time will come when the ojiisan come for you.

What will kill the Chinese cars is the poor quality control.

EV is not great and its going to cause more problems in the long-term

Until recently had I underestimated China. Now it's one of the most developed countries in terms of technology.

The Chinese cars dont pass the emissions and crash safety which is why we don't have them in the usa

Don't really trust Chinese EVs -- especially if Hong Kongers don't drive them. They've probably seen the many incidents of those cars catching on fire.

Japan is Tiny with zero natural resources… whole video explained.

Do we follow the same comment structure on youtube as your podcast fans? I think we should it's kinda cute and inoffensive and as they are basically the 'senpai' in your demographic, "listener" as opposed to"viewer", it should be tradition, a simple nod. ( I think :/) ... So anyway.. Dear... oh.. just remembered you were confused about 'Cleanly Chris' (Chesse-head LOL) and 'Pristine (Zombie King) Pete' ... dude was going for a theme, I got it..and as far as the average youtube comment goes, mixing alliteration AND a theme.. TWO layers.. I thought it was quite clever and found it a worthwhile pun. So harsh for poor dude.. :( (not 'serious' criticism, just a giggle). So, anyway, anyway...Dear Critiquing Chris and Pedantic Pete. :P, as much as I'm thoroughly entertained by you both, and (soz, Pete), 'particularly' Chris's A Broad in Japan.. (a stunningly and so very competently produced 'Everything you ever wanted to know about Japan, but couldn't be heard asking over the morning birds')..This is the meat of my comment,....... POOR LASSIE.. an entirely COMPETENT question and you roasted the wee soul. SCENARIO: "Hey babe, so the Japan holiday were going on.. I want to spend as much time with you as I possibly can, but I won't see you in the onsens , male female split. (unhappy face.) What will we do???? "Umm.. there are loads of onsens where were going, email every single one of them and ask how other couples manage .. that admittedly must surely be fairly common occurrence . .......Orrrrr mail that guy we both like.. the dude that does Japan,...yeah, just like Debbie (Ed - oh, I'm showing my age with that one)... the one everyone calls fat but isn't really and is just a big guy and it can't be doing great for his self image and people should just get a life.. yeah, yeah that dude. Yeah, we like him. A FEW HOURS LATER. "Hey babe, I emailed Chris.. (Sqweee).. so excited, I wonder if It'll be read.." De-de-de-DAAAAAAA-da-da-da-DAA-da de-DAA-da de-DAA-da (Ed- this took me a STUPID amount of time to get right, Das and Dums and at one point, Rums) CHRIS AND PETE: "Hey everyone, welcome to the podcast, we have a ROFLCOPTER for you tonight." Guys, Guys, Guys, all you had to say was "A good percentage of onsens are separated simply by a wooden fence, you can sit at either side and BE with each other... Awwww. :) Just ask before hand." I have to admit, if I was going to Japan with my GF, It's the kinda question I'd be curious at. Anyways..... Your stuff is great, tremendously entertaining, with a spot-on sense of humour for the average Brit, which the rest of the world seems finally able to come to appreciate.....Which begs a question......When you refer to an exchange rate, why do you ALWAYS exchange in to $ instead of £? I recognise the American ego with the whole pre-emptive destiny BS, but why are you pandering to it? Not everything has to be centred around them, even though they are the dumbest mofos on the face of the earth, it's not really entirely their fault that they have absolutely no sense of the wider world because their gov't has limited their education and understanding to the point that .... "Who HE?", "Not Know.. BADDDDDDD". Their isolationism and xenophobia of anything not theirs (mob rule) has become a problem.. Further support of their pov is not healthy for the planet... So ...'maybe'.. don't step on your own naturalisation to pander to someone else because, as you are a Brit, I'd guarantee that you'd lose more Brits with your preference to pander to them than you would have new yank viewers courtesy of giving them what they think they want. Contrary to my now drunken ramblings, the U.S people (with a brain) do actually seek a world view other than their own anal and gov't proscribed restrictively educated one one. They don't need you and other tubers to constantly stoop to their level, reinforcing and making it seem as if their culture and economy are the only ones, or even the most important (which is simply currently installed dogma), to exist on the planet. Confusing them to the same point with all of your acquiescence as their own gov't does with their propaganda. PEOPLE, cater to your own and let US catch up with YOU, regardless of who the 'us' and 'you' are... that's more than half the fun with cultures. Charity begins at home. Excuse the beer.

17 Likes wtf???

Imagine losing to a country that makes cars like ticking time bombs. with high-level corruption...

I mean Japanese cars are honestly dog water nowadays so they're easy to compete against. The fact that nearly every release is an overpriced EV doesn't help either.

If you watch videos from The China Show you'll see just how badly China is lying about its auto industry, not going to spoil it for you.

the outro song is a banger... is that custom for you guys or is it copyright free? if it's the latter any chance i could get the name of it?:D

Burger Kings lunch and dinner menu is better than McDonalds, but McDonalds breakfast is better.

Hi
