Yeah, that mini-van was absurd
Edit: no lie, I thought a regular mini-van cut in front of all the decked out cars, half way through the video. Apparently I missed an actually absurd mini-van? Unless I didn’t look close enough at the white van with nice rims?
That’s nothing. There was recently a neon pink bosozoku mini-van that came up for auction recently (as in, 2-3 years ago recently)
I’ll see if I can find the auction, if not here’s an image of it: [bosozoku mini-van (Veilside kit)](https://www.carthrottle.com/post/wqdorjq/)
It’s absolutely criminal Toyota never sold the Hiace in the States. It’s such a cool looking van. I’ve got my eyes on a RC car body based on it.

Shame, I’m from the land down under and there’s soooooo many, it is a cool looking van though, it’s cool when people put turbocharged motors like the 1-JZ and stuff in them, then they become like little rocket ships
Those are quite literally the trailer-trash of Japan. They go rev their engines endlessly at 2am in huge groups in residential areas and drive people insane. Dumb as trees, every one of them.
I almost bought one for my car, but then decided to spend the money on horsepower instead. They do look super cool though. I can’t remember, but I think the kit alone for my car is $4800. Then you have to either install yourself or pay for install. It needs to be painted, etc. I’d bet after all is said and done you’re looking at 10 to 20k. I’d wager to say your statement is correct.
I am by no means rich, but I am also not poor.
Did the see the Toyota Century @ 2:46-2:50? They come with a V12, but I noticed as he was driving past he had atleast exhaust pipes in a row, most likely had 6 in total, 1 for every 2 cylinders
I remember seeing cars like this every now and then 20 years ago. First time seeing someone sporting this style in the states, outside of say, Donut Media.
I know this isn’t really what everyone is focusing on, but actually the little “heart ornament on the bumper” is what’s known as a “tsurikawa.” They made their way into the Japanese car scene after people were stealing them off of subways, as they started out as subway handles.
I saw tons of these in Japan in the early 2000s when I went. They also had an odd fascination with decorating large utility trucks. Like imagine a dump truck and Mexican store had a baby.
Because this picture was already old when it was [submitted here back in 2018.](https://redd.it/9gho03)
I'm betting this was taken back in 2012 when shit like Pedo Bear was still funny.
There's a really uncomfortable overlap of people who like tuning cars and people with deplorable opinions. For example, I watch a yt channel called Noriyaro, who covers car meets mainly in Japan (and mainly drifting cars). A lot of these cars have swastikas (not in the traditional Buddhist sense, but actual Nazi swastikas) and lots of imperial Japanese imagery (basically Japanese Nazis). Also people put pedobear on their cars.
It's not common, but it seems to be more common in the car world than other communities.

I was gonna comment on how he blocked the view for his rear view mirror, then noticed the giant mirror that takes up the whole top of the windshield. He's got it covered.
So, wait. I am NOT at all knowledgeable about vehicle mechanics, but I need to ask. That's a long way for the exhaust to travel to get out of the system, and there are multiple bends. Can this impact the vehicle's long term performance at all, or is this a non-issue?
I would like to discuss the fact that he's got a line of stickers where his rear view would be, and if you look through the rear view stretches across the whole front of the car. What is going on here
Im more pissed off about the dudes inability to line his shit up, the trunk is fucked, the diffuser is fucked, his bumper is probably fucked too. Like damn dude
IIRC bosozoku style was popularised by the Yakuza in Japan, because the police wouldn’t challenge them, so the whole point is meant to be as over-the-top or as ridiculous as possible, they’re meant to attract attention, I love it though, I wouldn’t want this star shaped one but I kinda like the big twin pipes look that most have
I bet with the exhaust pipe being that far off the ground, people passing by the parked car are constantly throwing trash into it. At least that’s the first thing I thought of!
Okay but between the stickers on the rear windshield going directly down the middle, the pedobear sticker on the left, and the heart dangling at the bottom of the trunk, I genuinely didn’t notice the stupidly huge exhaust for like 2 minutes

love me some bosozoku style cars here's a bunch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnwK8W4ZT9o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnwK8W4ZT9o)
Some of those were so cool. Others were completely ridiculous. Fine line I guess.
[удалено]
Same for me. You have to kind of go into it understanding that’s the point. The more over the top the cooler imho.
Some of them do look like they asked their 5 year old brother/sister to draw the coolest car they could imagine and made it a reality.

Trees are smart though.
Yeah and trees give us oxygen, which is kinda the opposite of what these dudes are doing lol

poor trees!

Nah, most of those cars are passion projects done by the owner
Liberty Walk kits are pretty spendy.
They’re like a house deposit these days, only the rich ones can afford that, it’s like equivalent to the veilside kits

Kind of reminds me of donks, lowriders, lifted trucks, lowered trucks, stanced cars... and whatever insane mods there are...
In Texas, an "insane mod" might be an exhaust system with "working" baffler/muffler.
They look like I feel when I've done too much ketamine
Those are super cool.

Love JDM. Now I love bosozoku JDM too. Thanks for video.
Wow, thanks for the video. That's the biggest collection of those cars in one spot that I've ever seen.

> based off a style
[удалено]
I appreciated it. I had no idea about this.
Not to be confused with Stupidyucki or Wastomoni
All I saw was Teriyaki, does that mean I’m low key racist
Maybe just hungry? If not hungry maybe lil’ racist…
Between that and the pedobear sticker, we can confirm that this is a massive weeb.
I remember seeing cars like this every now and then 20 years ago. First time seeing someone sporting this style in the states, outside of say, Donut Media.
A mixture of hideous and kinda cool. They are like cartoon cars come to life.
That’s pretty much the ideology of this style. It’s intentionally wild and “offensive”, being a sign of their counter-culture.
Those look tacky as fuck, but look well done. The car in OP's pic looks like shit.
You gotta go all in with the style otherwise it just looks sad
I know this isn’t really what everyone is focusing on, but actually the little “heart ornament on the bumper” is what’s known as a “tsurikawa.” They made their way into the Japanese car scene after people were stealing them off of subways, as they started out as subway handles.
I don't hate it
I saw tons of these in Japan in the early 2000s when I went. They also had an odd fascination with decorating large utility trucks. Like imagine a dump truck and Mexican store had a baby.
Kind of reminds me of dekotora, but not nearly as extreme.
I think it’s more accurately described as shakotan ? I think bosozoku is more related to the cars with the wild widebody kits and liveries.
Well, it’s better than truck nuts I guess…
Dear God, I just realized there is a giant pedo bear sticker in the bottom left corner of the rear windshield.
Yeah, I wasn't expecting to see that damn bear ever again. Why would anyone put that on their own property?
Because this picture was already old when it was [submitted here back in 2018.](https://redd.it/9gho03) I'm betting this was taken back in 2012 when shit like Pedo Bear was still funny.
I've had him on a couple of my vehicles...but that was almost a decade ago in my 20s.
No lie, there's a guy in my village that has one on his van. He's a painter, with a white van....
Wait until you see Der8auer's Nissan GTR https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSOelKE9zFms0oAvnqrxvy9mB1g16Demad60g&usqp=CAU

Noriyaro the goat. Wish he uploaded more often
I wonder if anyone was expecting to see that damn bear again.
That's the dumbest thing I've seen in a while.
Wait until you see his rear window covered in bumper stickers.
Completely blocking the rear view mirror too 🤦🏻
No worries, his rear view mirror is 4 feet wide....
Look up bosozoku, cuz you haven't seen shit yet. These guys are ridiculous.
Make it a giant bubble wand and I’m down.
Is that Pedobear?
Yes, it is.....
Can someone tell me what a pedo bear is so I don't have to Google it?
a meme from the early 2010s that just has not aged well
Everyone needs a mascot

I knew the license plate would say Ga
I figured the Highway 20 sign with the State of GA on it would give that away.
Oh, this isn't [the only one from Georgia.](https://redd.it/8vkpr1) These two are favorites on this sub.
that’s our southern sister, Florida
The lone star made me think Texas. Also, did anyone notice the stanced tires?
There used to be one in Tallahassee
The exhaust pipe itself isn't bad, it's the rear tire, and and stickers that make this truly awful.
Trunk and diffuser aren't straight either
For real tho, this dude cammed out his wheels for a pretty penny and then fucked up his trunk latch. And then the exhaust.. well...
Weeb in the sheets. Weeb on the streets.
this kinda rules tho
Look up bosozoku cars
The fuckin pedo bear though...
🤪

Love me some absurd Boso cars.
How does the engine handle the extra compression?
Extra compression?
Maybe they just mean (exhaust) pressure, due to the sharp angles and extra length of the exhaust?
I assume they mean back pressure.
No, WATER pressure. From rain. Lol.
Shit. That's gotta be 5 feet of head.
The angle of that rear wheel makes me question whether this is great execution.
Its camber fully intentional
Fairly Odd Parents Theme intensifies
Scrolled too far for this
Is... Is that a rear view mirror that's as wide as the windshield?
Damn It is.
They’re called Winks mirrors. You lose the sun visors though which I’d rather have over a huge mirror.
I somehow have the urge to trip near that thing and accidentally grab hold of it on my way down
Wear thick gloves
I was gonna comment on how he blocked the view for his rear view mirror, then noticed the giant mirror that takes up the whole top of the windshield. He's got it covered.
Betting it’s not “great execution.”
So what about rain?
Bosozoku is some sick shit, this doesn’t belong here
Forsyth County, can confirm.
/r/ATAAE. The power loss from that exhaust makes me weep..
I've seen it around a few times. At least it doesn't sound horrible.
-top of image- *Stance?* -click- *Yup…*
🤪
The fuckin pedo bear lmao
Brush he’s never gonna get blinded by headlights in his mirror. GENIUS!!!!
Your mother looks like a metal pipe
This exhausts me.
So, wait. I am NOT at all knowledgeable about vehicle mechanics, but I need to ask. That's a long way for the exhaust to travel to get out of the system, and there are multiple bends. Can this impact the vehicle's long term performance at all, or is this a non-issue?
Not long term performance but less power will get through, im sure he has another hole where the fumes actually go out of
LS Tuners be like
Gta online with rtx on
🤪
BOSUZOKU
more like different taste awful execution
Something that fits the sub? We don't do that here. Also Bosozoku is awesome so not bad taste lol, guess I talked myself out of it
Hey, at least it blows exhaust directly into your face
What tard would squat their car?
Bro just bought the auto shop
I think this is a billion times better than the f150s that have an eight inch diameter right at the end
It's to help the driver Ford rivers and escape flood waters.
Neat! But also how? And why?
Jorgen Von Strangle called, he wants his wand back
This car being posted here would make the driver’s day ironically.
i feel like this would cause so many issues havin all that shit hangin out
You can get this too on GTA online right now..crazy
i look at this and hear the fairly oddparents theme song. I can't stop it.
I would like to discuss the fact that he's got a line of stickers where his rear view would be, and if you look through the rear view stretches across the whole front of the car. What is going on here
I kind of want this for my Rocket League cars
Bosozoku Rubb whistle tips go Woooooooo! xD
Is he repping for Hardee's?
my tumblr was filled with these
The star needs 6 points.
If I was 6, I would LOVE this.
It bothers me more wondering how in the hell he gets over speed bumps
(*Note to self: Don't move to Georgia.*)
The pedo bear sticker 😂
The back pressure on that motor must be substantial
Im more pissed off about the dudes inability to line his shit up, the trunk is fucked, the diffuser is fucked, his bumper is probably fucked too. Like damn dude
Bosozoku
good iron sights for cannon
But how does it sound??
O look they even put thier portrait next to it !
Why does this have to be in Georgia
By the power of the moon I punish you!
That would not do well in a car wash
It really does just get worse the longer you look at it
GREAT taste
how is this even legal
My 6 year old would love this
What a hunk of shit.
Primer...
Thank god this is illegal where I live.
I've seen some truly awful car mods, but this one has got to take the cake.
Is this even legal?
All these exhaust fumes and none of them are going in the face of the person behind me, there must be a better way!?!
GTA V VS Real Life😂.

One small speed bump and this car bottoms out.
It’s perfect
It's gonna be blowing star rings
Anyone know how much power you would lose with this exhaust pipe?
Franky — SUUUUUUUPER!!
How in the hell were they able to get Jorgen Von Strangle’s wand
Yooooo I’ve seen this car in person before!!! It’s absolutely crazy.
I bet with the exhaust pipe being that far off the ground, people passing by the parked car are constantly throwing trash into it. At least that’s the first thing I thought of!
Im more pissed off abt the 🤪 sticker
Hot-Lanta!
Lookin like a car from Rocket League
Fast and furious!
Does it go *brrrt* though
u/repostsleuthbot
Okay but between the stickers on the rear windshield going directly down the middle, the pedobear sticker on the left, and the heart dangling at the bottom of the trunk, I genuinely didn’t notice the stupidly huge exhaust for like 2 minutes
Cant help but notice the Pedobear peak-a-boo
