this is just an example to show my question. Ok, all the kids around here are like "OMG TEH JDM PROJECTORS, I WANT SOME." I was just wondering, do all the kids in Japan and stuff say "OMG TEH USDM FOGGED HEADLIGHTS, I WANT SOME.?"

No, I'd imagine they'd say it in Japanese.

I always wondered if some of the guys over in Japan were interested in USDM stuff like we're interested in JDM.
There could be some Chevy fans in Tokyo, who knows? This post has been edited by sinner96ST: Apr 9, 2006 - 9:55 PM |

People overseas don't even want those; they're too expensive to export and by the time they get to foreign markets, the price they ask isn't worth the quality. Basically, you really have to be a fan to own a Corvette in Europe, just like you'd really have to be a fan to own a Skyline in the U.S. |

Covettes are rare in the UK, I think the main reason is engine size, we pay 98 pence per litre!!!! for fuel so you would have to win the lotto to be able to do any decent driving in one, it is bad enough owning a 17mpukg celica
 Your fuel is so cheap you measure it in gallons ours works out to be £3.71 per US Gallon (US Gallon = 3.78 litres, UK Gallon = 4.54 litres) Anyone know why your gallons are different to ours?

I believe why we're so into the JDM this, JDM that is because that's where our car is from. Let's say they bought a Monte Carlo... I'd think that they'll go "I want this USDM"... worse comes the worse they'll prolly decorate the Monte Carlo with GOODWRENCH decals and biggo white number "3" in Microgramma font trying to represent...

Just like the inches, feet, yard and what not. Metric system is based on 10s and is so much easier to understand than 12 in = 1 ft, 3ft = 1 yard. -------------------- PROJECT 6TH GEN
