Interests in JDM Cars and Initial D

I was wondering if it was just me and my friend or if there’s anyone else that likes Japanese cars especially, and modifying them. Huge fan and inspiration comes from the anime Initial D! Would love to know if there are people with the same interest and if so, what got you into it and more importantly, what’s your favourite car?

add me to this list.. but electric cars are taking over tbh. I mean its not really bad news.. but i wish i could drive the old cars and hear engines and turbocharger/supercharger for at least a decade before switching to electric cars... i guess i was born a little late xD. Atleast i got instant torque and faster acceleration to look forward to when i start driving electric cars :smile:

But i heard porsche is developing a new synthetic fuel.. which maybe keep old cars functioning.. but idk what the progress on that is...

yh electric rally cars are already being trialled, but considering the amount of 10+ years older cars there are on the road atm, we wont really see a big change until about 15 years or so
