From midnight highway races to secret warehouses of legendary cars, Japan's car culture is one we've always wanted to explore and never had the chance, until now.

I enjoyed it, but when are the other 10+ episodes? I felt like it was just an extended preview of an entire series, which Japan car culture really deserves. Would have been nice to see an S2000. Oh well.

Meh, I didn't think it was really anything special. Most of the stuff they showed was nothing secret or new about the culture and it doesn't help that it was only 30 minutes long with like 3 sets of commercials. I've seen hour long youtube videos by random car channels that delve deeper into Japanese car culture than this.
