If they're so expensive and can't even be driven on the road, what the fark's the point?

These are awesome. Not so awesome when they are bearing down on you on the highway, or when the drivers (chinpira) are gathered at the service area and causing trouble. Awesome more in theory than practice, I guess.

They're legal if you don't have all the lights on.

Megatron, WTF?
At least pick the Transformer that becomes a truck.

Actually, it's a symptom of Japan having a ton of wealthy professionals with no children who can't afford any decent property so they just spend it on cars and the like. Plus the whole 'perfection of your hobby' thing.

I think that attractive and successful Americans have bad sense when it comes to design, like jewellery, clothes and cars but they are considered sensible compared to Japs.

Actually, those trucks drive by me sometimes. You CAN drive them, you just can't turn on the lights.

We see them a lot over here driving on 357 in Chiba. It's always a cool sight, especially if they are lit up.

I wonder how far the ass end of the car has to sit out in the travel lane of the parking lot so you don't fark up that front fender on the car-stopper.

Japanese back in to parking spaces.

Also the car in the second pic seems to belong to the currently ruling political party.

This gathering of light trucks was captured by photographer Roger Snider during a meet to raise money for a Japanese children's charity.

They probably would have had more money to donate if they didn't spend it on frivolous crap.

That I understand even less. It's one thing to make a showpiece, it's entirely another to have a vehicle made to be driven and deny it its purpose.

I dunno, the one on the bottom seems to have a shopped quality to the side mouldings. I've seen quite a few something or others in my whatever, so I could be really wrong.

NationalHero: so I could be really wrong.

Yes, you could. It's the combination of cheap ass DIY plywood side panels (flat surfaces), matte pink (matte is cheaper than glossy) and the light (no direct sunlight) that makes it look shopped.
