If I Had a Million Dollars...
...I'd buy you a K-car!
Here's my Mitsubishi Minica. 0.65 liters of pure power! 3 cylinders pumping 50 hp. And this thing screams! Screaming pain at 100 kph (60 mph)--that's about as fast as this thing can go. And 4 wheel drive too!
The best thing about the car is the radio! Blasting AM tunes! And the speaker is installed conveniently next to the AM radio in the dash. You don't need FM and all those other whistles. :) A.M. is where it's A.T.
Nah, I love this car. Gets me from place to place reliably and with good gas mileage. Also not too shabby for $1000 US.
Gas is really expensive in Japan. 130 yen per liter turns out to be like $4.31 per gallon. For the cheapest stuff!
Speed limits are really low here. Most all roads have a speed limit between 25 mph to 31 mph (40-50 kph). The highways are 37 mph (60 kph) and the fastest expressways are 50 mph (80 kph).
That might give you guys back in the States some perspective.
