The new JDM trend...Dodge vans
Taken elsewhere....
It's been referred to as "Youga Base" style, "Hentai Vans", and a few other things, but apparently they just refer to their cars as "Dajjibans", or Dodge Vans. The Katakana to search for is "ダッジバン".
If anyone finds any new blogs, sites, or images related to the Dajjiban thing, post them in here. I want moar.
The Basics:
-Dodge Vans (I've yet to see anything else, but maybe they don't get other American vans over there)
-Lowering
-Deep dish low-offset wheels (often 6-lug RS Wats, but I've seen Diamonds and others)
-White lettered tires
-minimalist interiors (CF, racing wheels, not typical van stuff, lots of period American stickers, very eclectic)
-V8 performance mods
They appear to be actually tracking these vans, which is absurd, but ****ing rad.

And when the tracking is over, you can party like it's 1999 in them too.

funny??? I would say horribly ugly and ridiculous ???? Take the worlds most unreliable van and work it.????? The Japanese must be getting tired of all of that Japanese reliability and German enginuity . I think its priceless that they park them with the wheels turned to take sexy shots of these old beaters that look more like a portapody laying down than it does an attractive vehicle. IMHO because its lowered on coilovers doenst make it cool.....at all. I think its actually offensive. ( I just threw up in my mouth)
Different strokes for different folks
To each his own ,but if one of those things were parked on the street in my neighborhood it would be towed....real fast
I hope these guys have patience, quick reflexes, and life insurance
