There's nothing more beautiful than a Japanese car culture in the '90s. Why? Because, first of all, it's just as expressive and unique as the whole of Japan.

Country of the Cherry Blossom. Secondly, it still affects generations of motoring enthusiasts all over the world. Thirdly, she presented the art of drifting to the world.

And fourthly and finally: she grew up on the cult models of Nissan, Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Honda and Mazda. Today, however, the Japanese

automobile scene has now become a reality.

a shadow of your old self. Why did this happen?

Every motoring fan has probably watched all the parts of

"Fast and Furious" several times. The third part - with the subtitle "Tokyo Drift" - presented

a very attractive, though somewhat outdated, vision of

Japanese car culture. Because all the best in this culture took place in the 1990s,

When cars like Toyota Supra, Nissan GTR, Honda NSX or Mitsubishi

Lancer dominated the roads.

Young Japanese people had easy access to these iconic cars, as they came from their native country. Those who couldn't afford top models,

were satisfied with Hondami Civic or even with used Toyotas AE86 and AE85.

The drivers not only wanted to have their own JDM cars, but also

wanted to race them on the winding mountain passes, which in the Land of the Cherry Blossom there's no shortage. Everyone fought for the title of hashiriya,

which in Japanese means street driver.

The atmosphere of the car scene at the time is now legendary, and although some Japanese people are still trying to keep up the tradition, they are getting on with it. Tt's getting worse.

Today's car culture in Japan can be seen from online movies or Agundaya, better known under the pseudonym of

Drift Hunter. On his youtube channel you will

find short reports documenting the "underground car racing scene" in Tokyo.

Quoting him: "For the past seven years, I've observed that the drifting subculture

in Japan is disappearing. Every year I see fewer and fewer cars on the mountain passes.In the past one evening you could count 30-40 vehicles, today there

are barely a few of them," he says in one of his reports.

Golden times of street drifting are best remembered by today's generation of Japanese forty-year-olds.

Interestingly, the term hashiriya was not reserved.

for men only, because women were also behind the wheel.

The present generation of hashiriya are almost only men.

They want to keep the Japanese car culture alive, but the modern world is throwing them out of their way.

Having a car is becoming more and more problematic .Today's Japan is known for its astronomical car insurance prices. Salt must also be paid for driving on most expressways. Similarlythe situation with parking

in the cities. In addition, driving tests are not only expensive, but also extremely difficult.

When the team from Top Gear magazine visited Japan to check

the condition of its car culture, the diagnosis was not interesting:

- Drivers are increasingly being fought by the police. Inspections of sports cars

are becoming more and more stringent.

All these measures

are depriving Japan of another generation of car fans. With the astronomical cost of parkingand the difficulty of obtaining a driving license, you can see,

why young people deprived of civil rights prefer to stay at home with their computers -writes "Top Gear".

On the one hand, driving a car is very expensive in this country. On the other hand, the problem has also a generational character -

today's young people

people, called "millenials", are less interested in cars and more in digital technologies.

Japanese automotive industry is no longeras interesting as it was 20 years ago.

Proofs?

Mazda hasn't produced a sports car for years, unless we consider the MX-5 to be such. Honda has narrowed down the

range of Type-R versions and gave up production.

of many cult models. The Toyota has gone into urban hybrids, while the Nissan has a love for SUVs and

crossovers. On Mitsubishi there's no more words at all, because

the brand completely lost its character (the eternal war between the EVO Lancer and the STI Impreza, the first one lost with a forfeit).

Today's Japanese automotive industry is not doing so well, and the Japanese car culture is also in decline.

And without it, the automotive world

will become more boring

The reason why stupid milennials don't have an interest in cars is directly caused by the car economy.

Cars being cool is a thing of the past because cool cars are unprofitable and huge car companies can't afford to make them anymore and the smaller ones can't make them cheap + the push for unmanned EVs.

Cars won't ever be cool again and car culture will only continue dying until we all one day find ourselves getting into government owned bread boxes that drive us to work and then back home.

Stop whining, you can't bring back a thing that was fun for your generation and demand the new kids to have fun with it.

I have seen all F&F movies, swear i can't remember what happened in 4th, 5th and 6th.

Manufacturers make fewer small sports cars because their target group (young people) are broke and take less loans. And the current "new" generation takes less loans because we have savings accounts. I rather put 100 euros into savings each month than pay a loan, because loans are stupid and come at a price.

Car culture is not going anywhere, and even if it is, enjoy it with a smile, rather that whining.

>Car culture is not going anywhere

Yeah, it is, because the cars are going. You can't have car culture after all the old cars break down, and new cars won't be as good due to the increased regulations. I don't intend to buy a car new if I can help it, not with keyless ignition, auto stop/start, and all the other faggotry they're shoving into new designs.

Good luck finding anyone with the money to buy a high spec car or customize what they have in the modern world.

It's going away for probably an eternity. That's not something to enjoy with a smile. And it's not even like having it taken away. You could at least fight against that. It's literally and figuratively dying and the only thing we can do is whine.

Is early 20th century people were whining horses were going away too. That does not mean all the horses have been made into glue and now we have not a single horse in the world. Nobody will take away your car. Just getting a new one the way you like it will be difficult in the western world.

A new car was never an option for me, and i will hold on to my 32 year old eternal rust-beating Audi 80 for as long as she runs. Then i will engine swap it, de-tune it, and run that until the day i die.

My neighbour has a MK1 Jetta, and he sets a great example. He is well over 80, almost 90, but still drives weekly, spends sunny evenings in the garage sandpapering and painting over the tiniest pieces of rust.

The difference is that horses went away because people switched all on their own. Car culture is going away because fun cars are getting regulated out of existence.

Shut the fuck off.

In the 20th century we switched to cars because it was better in many ways compared to owning a living breathing animal.

"Our horses", the cars we like, aren't getting replaced in favor of something better.

Our 21st century horses have aids, are fat and slow and it's in the government's best interests to keep it that way and slowly replace all horses with science lab grown bull terrier-ass horses that are fatter and have more aids and are slower and this time with brittle bird bones so they don't tire out as fast because they are fat.

And because the government thought that all these genetic modifications would reduce the numbers of people falling off of them and reduce the size of their shits, and they thought wrong, they don't know what to do with these freaks of nature so instead they keep increasing the price of owning one until they can force all but the rich to use bicycles instead.

Meanwhile a few 60 year old boomers that have amassed fortunes from before the world was owned by 4 companies and mid-western oil sheikhs can have stallions worthy of having a marble statue made after them.

Have a Family Guy Star Warts wallpaper cause you're THIS gay.
