hey everyone. im finally in japan. so far its all right. i live on the most boring base. its camp zama for any of you guys who are in the military. the only thing that keeps me from killing myself is the cars. man as soon as i got out of the airport, fixed up cars in the parking lot. S15, Chasers, Mark II, Skylines, Lancer Evo's. man its great to get away from all those fart can hondas.
i've also seen a lot of euro cars like bmws, vw, peugot, etc. oh yea there are a couple of domestics like mustangs, camaros, and vettes here too.

the kind of car im lookin for is something that i can't have when i go back to the states. im thinkin of maybe a R30 Skyline or maybe sil-eighty. if i can't get those any turbo rear wheel will do or a hachiroku.
this place is a lot more different than okinawa. over there i can find more the older cars. here its hard to find a good condition older car like a s13, r32 gts-t, and things like that.

Yeah, Okinawa tends to get the hand-me-down older used cars. It's not a bad thing though...

Tell him to go to the Transportaion Office and find out. When you PCS, your allowed to take a car I think but there are some stipulations.
