My car cover with complete aero parts!

I think its because they Japanese language have so many ways to say one thing that the translation comes out weird.

It's like in SCC one time they showed a sign and in english it said"blah-blah restaurant, you'll be looking for special happy!"

Or in Japanese it could be "Ima kick yo *** foo!" but come out in english as "I must most excellently thrash your face" or something completely off the wall.

LOL - Those are funny as hell. It's kind of quaint.

Japanese want to be all USDM, American kids are down with JDM, it's so humorous... :D
