  • For a place without any real highways or stretches of open road, Hawaii has a pretty sick car culture. Larry explores the old-school JDM side on the island, at a charity car show with whole lot of vintage Japanese metal.

    Those old Corollas were very popular in Portugal back in the 70s and 80s, but we had smaller engines (1,3 liters i believe). Datsuns were also very popular, specifically the 120Y and 100A.

    Got so excited when I saw the red car on the thumbnail. Only to be sort of let down (still a rad ride) I thought it was a Subaru FE (I really miss mine). Lost mine thanks to an ignorant driver who hit me then left the scene. My poor lil FE was totaled due to lack of availability of parts. I still had its factory window stickers, and paperwork from 1979. I really would love to have another FE one day.

    I bought a 76 Corolla Deluxe to drive back and forth to work to save wear and tear on my truck. That was in 1993, and I paid $400 for it. The paint was the same orangy-red color as that one, but the interior was off white. It even had working A/C. I really liked the car because it was cheap, reliable , and easy to maintain. Everyone laughed at the car back then. I never dreamed the car would be anything desirable, but I like what he's done with this one.
