    RO in Japan | KDAY

     While in Japan, we got a tip that KDAY was a car show that we should check out. Kday is a show that celebrates USDM styling which is weird for us Americans because all we want to do is make our cars look Japanese. Since, it was only a 30-40 minute train ride we decided to venture out to the northern part of Japan to check out the show.

     Just walking around the parking lot, we knew this was going to be an good car show to be at.

    It felt like we were at home at one of our car meets in socal.

    Even though they’re trying to copy our style, how do the Japanese make it look so much better?

    It was hard pressed to find a car that I didn’t like at this show. Everyone hard their own styles just like in America, but they still just kept it clean.

    Crazy how the Japanese think Toyota trucks and SUVs are cool and want to drive a stock one in Japan.

    I think I met the owner of this car on my last trip to Japan.

    Meanwhile, I was stuffing my face with this “hamburger”.

    jptrip 879

    It was more of a “chicken burger”..

    Definitely an opening experience being at a USDM inspired car show. Crazy the things we take for granted people would pay so much for. Thanks K Day for the experience! As always there are more photos in the gallery.
