I love this.

When she was 55, her Corona Coupe, which she had been driving for nearly 10 years at the time, started to malfunction and she was considering buying a new one. She happened to be watching the anime “Initial D” with her son and fell in love at first sight with the style of the RX-7 (FD3S). She immediately went to a nearby Mazda dealer and ordered a new car. The purchase price at the time was about 3.2 million yen.

I was never a huge fan of the bubble styling of the 3rd gen RX-7. I always preferred the second gen styling, which I thought was close to perfection. It has definitely aged well, though.

This guy is a legendary local villain and certified POS. It’s wild seeing him get national coverage.
