That's one mean looking picture. It's like "The Fast and the Funeral".

That is a great scene. I love the background. It gives a feeling of a place far away, but so close to home. The foreground isn't too bad either.

Hey Seung,

What else is in Korea? Do they have any Japanese cars? I heard that people in Korea like to hook up their rides too.... but I'm wondering, what kind of cars are they? Hyundai's or something?

I thought Korea didn't allow Japanese cars to be sold there.

a lot of japanese cars are imported illegally,
especially those sports cars.
i "think" lexus and honda are the only japanese cars that are sold through proper dealers.

almost all the japanese cars that koreans buy are used ones,
found through internet used car sites and such, then shipped over.

i've heard that once the cars are shipped, of course they have to go through all the inspections,
and those japanese cars usually fail- but somehow they drive it anyway...

yes, a lot of japanese sports cars.
the most i saw this time was rx- 7s,
then i've seen fto, supra, mr- 2, lan evo... etc.

this kind of car culture is just starting to get popular in korea-
a lot of korean cars are also tuned and moded.
the most you see are of course, hyundais.
some of them are pretty impressive i would say-
very powerful, with nice looking exterior mods.

then there are so- called "yang- kas". (a combined word,
yang- ah- chi, a slang meaning "thug" and american word "car".)
ugly stickers, long cb antennas, no muffler, trumpet- sounding horns...
they are huge MESS.
i think the big trend now is sticking cds on their cars.
yes, cds, as in compact discs... stuck on hoods and bumpers.
and they say "oh, that car's tuned."
what the hey?!
