Japanese guys with R34 M-Specs will let you sit in the car and tell you what you want to know about it. Everyone appreciates everyone else’s car. The Stagea community is all about hanging out together and meeting up.

    I had the same experience with Japanese Culture and how kind they are as you did Mickey. It was absolute culture shock when I had to walk past road work on a sidewalk. The entire crew stopped working, bowed to me, and escorted me and my friend around the work zone. This work zone wasn't big at all and I could have easily walked past it without ever making eye contact with them. But they made sure to escort us. It was insane.

    Super jealous!!! I’ve wanted a stagea since I was a little kid and played gran turismo. Can’t wait to see what you have planned for it.

    That! Was TEAM WORK by the WHOLE crew at Top Ranked. Your correct. A LOT, of places in the US, would not have DUG DEEP like that by staying those LONG HOURS. That's the type of pride and Honor that the Japanese culture has.
