Japanese Nostalgic Car

One of the many irrational anxieties that haunt us incessantly is the fear that every day, countless nostalgics are needlessly crushed as a result of Japan’s prohibitive auto registration laws, lack of parking space, and fashions that change by the hour. Sometimes we even wake up in a cold sweat clinging to our latest issue of Nostalgic Hero screaming, “Iiiiiie!” That’s why it’s so refreshing to see Love Old Cars, a blog that appears to do nothing but post on Japanese classics for sale on Yahoo Japan Auctions, the majority of them unmodified survivors.

To see the good stuff, go to their main page and click on the squares on the right, but make sure you’re sitting down and not in the vicinity of any sharp corners.

The square below it, the one with the pink sakuras, takes you to a list of cars they have for sale. Marvel at the immaculate condition of these old school treasures. Each and every one is cleaner than your dentist’s hands. I mean just look at them! Be sure to click on all 46 pages linked at the bottom. You’re welcome.
