the amount of american influence is distrubing. They love all of their old school rodding accesories like rat fink and betty boop stuff, kinda wierd. might as well lay all my cards on the table. Dean Moon, Brock Racing Enterprises, American Racing Wheels, Calif license plates, SCCA decals, etc etc.... The history of Japan has been one of accepting tentatively, then aggressively, and finally trying to exceed (and succeeding in many areas) Western, including American, influences. Japanese auto styling is highly derivative of western auto styling, as is the post-WW2 culture, even government and business institutions. And why not? The West was the primary market for post-war Japanese sales... of everything, including cars. For good or for bad, probably a mixed bag, no judgment being passed, merely an observation. |

i was wondering if someone was gonna spot the pogo stick.
I understand that part of japanese culture is a mutation of the 50s snapshot of western culture that they were forcibly exposed to but i wasnt aware that america was at all `cool` or `desirable` like japan is to me.
Just another observation.
