It's the pits - literally! From memory, in Japan your new car must go over the pits after 3 years, then every 2 years after that. An incentive to get old s...boxes off the road, and of course to buy a shiny new car! The closest we get here in Oz is compulsory inspections at time of sale in SOME states. And even then we consider it a right pain in the posterior. 
For example, way back in 2000, my Japanese friend had a 95 Honda Civic VTi coupe. A$1200 for the inspection thank you very much - and there was nothing wrong with the car! When he came to visit me a few years later we were driving down the road in Perth and we saw an old Skyline (R31?) - the first of the round tail light models. For him it was like finding an HDT Group A SS or Phase III GTHO Bathurst Special Edition with delivery kays only!

Sadly it's the way of the world. I'll be doing the same to a pretty good shell soon to get repair panels for my Mk II, but in my defense, there's no papers or ID on the shell so it can't go on the road legally. |

Haha yea gafmo, several times i thought that guy is game. Cutting towards your foot, cutting whilst taking a blind step from inside to outside. That cutting wheel looks like the type to take your leg off, not your toe. |
