Nice. I still want to go all bosozoku on a vehicle someday. Come to think of it, there's no reason I couldn't do it to the T&C...
Somehow I predict that bosozoku will be the next big thing, and I welcome it.
I'd gladly take bosozoku over stance/hellaflush. More funny, less serious.
(BTW, technically it's a "kaido racer" with cars, "bosozoku" is the same kind of style on bikes.)
wut?

When I was living in Japan in college, the times I encountered Bosozoku, they were always on bikes. I never heard the term used with cars until fairly recently in the states.
Bobsozoku where I lived were teenagers who got drunk and rode around fairly slowly late at night on bikes with straight pipes revving them to 10k rpm+ constantly. The objective was to wake up and irritate as many people as possible.

Huh.....sounds like Bikeweek in Daytona.
When I find a cheap Hino I want to put together a Dekotora truck.
It's funny that the bosozoku/Shakotan thing took so long to catch on on the states. I remember seeing a boso Celsior on one of those "LOL look at this rice" type of pages (can't remember the specific name) around 1999 and quietly thinking to myself "that's kinda cool".
In reply to gamby:
You and me both, brother.
i always thought bosozoku had more in common with punkers. Unless you mean the immediately post-war bosozoku... that was a different breed back then.

Oh so that is why my neighbor does that!
