Now, i know there's more of Japan that got flooded, but... i always found it a bit sus.

    My friend from school married into money, her in-laws country estate had a bunch of Midgets for getting around the grounds and gardens, they used to hold races with the staff and send the winners on cruises or have new fitted kitchens and bathrooms for their houses as prizes, super rich people stuff. After a while it was discovered that the family and the staff had been doing minor modifications to them here and there and by the time they were replaced with Smart ForTwo's some had been given some fairly big upgrades and sounded like sports bikes and went about as fast too.
