meh, i like sharing.
we all do our own thing.
and note that the japan game has generations on generations of corolla dudes helping out other corolla dudes n ****. that's why they're so "next level" with their ****. also, quite a large amount of the corolla dudes in japan have been toying with corollas -and- pushing them to the limits (track/street) for decades now (not to say that we haven't. just not to the level that japan has been doing it)
that's one thing that always still amazes me cruising around minkara (like a myspace equivalent for japanese car dudes)*, that a gooood amount of bad ass corollas in japan are owned by some old-a** dudes (talking like 45y/o and up) and a bunch of them are still kicking their car sideways or hauling a** around track.
here in the states... don't really see that much. it's typical that corolla dudes will "grow up" and drop corollas all together, or move on to other chassis... so the corolla scene in the states is made up mostly of "younger" dudes, and a good amount of them don't really know much of the background behind corollas, or the how-to's on a lot of things.. and most importantly, a lot of them don't really have someone showing them the ropes. like how
cruel "Corolla Life" can be, and to stick with the challenges corollas throw at their owners..

* : So I get a lot of my content from Minkara. It's gotten rather easy to make one, and I suggest jumping on it and trying it out! there's TONNSSS more of cool car content from japan on there. it really is like the Myspace equivalent from japanese car dudes. you get to "friend" your fav car dudes from over pacific and keep up with their builds, races, etc.
go try it out:
https://id.carview.co.jp/newlogin.aspx? ... rc=Minkarathey made it a lot easier for English users to navigate the site. i also recommend using Google Chrome to browse around as it auto-translates full pages of japanese to english. (it's really cool).
and when you do get around to making it... add me!
