]]> <![CDATA[Japanese Initial D Arcade Booth Features Actual Tofu Car]]> This is almost as sweet as the Gundam cockpit arcade game i saw in japan. You get a comfy seat, a screen that stretches almost 180°, a headset to converse with you co-players, and a control system that you would expect of a skyscraper sized robot: 2 pedals and 2 joysticks with a gazillion buttons.

Best 500yen ever spent.

My car is a (stock) WRX. I really don't need to pick up any bad habits.

]]> <![CDATA[Japanese Initial D Arcade Booth Features Actual Tofu Car]]> not to jump on you, but it's just an 86, not " '86 " (because the AE86-drivetrained cars weren't made in just 1986; the Sprinter Trueno was made from '83-'87)

/end geek rant

(oh, and just for kicks: the Subaru is not a vanilla WRX, it's the STi Type R version V judging from the copper wheels and giant wing on the coupe along with the totally late-80's-ish rally style over-the-top body panels)
