I love Vice, this one was maybe my favorite.

The irony of a British man driving a left-hand drive British car in Japan...

@Alan: LHD is a status symbol. Hence, LHD Lexuses sell at a premium.

Don't understand the blonde's role in the piece.

I'm posting the piece on krokidil (drugs in Siberia). Scary.

Yeah, I've read that before - still odd.

Wow, those trucks look really amazing in the dark. The Mini on the other hand...

I have to agree, the woman was pretty pointless and somewhat annoying.

That dekotora Mini is not for me, haha. An itasha would be more fitting for a car that small. Man, these dekotora guys are serious with their craft. The guy spent $40,000 on his truck just for the decorations. You have to admire their love for their vehicles.
