Xmas wish list: the “Japanese Historic Car Graffiti” 2010 calendar

When I saw this calendar I immediately thought “Damn, I want one!”.

The front already looks quite promising with the Honda 1300 coupe (and RA300 Formula one racecar in the background)

What about this mouth watering 4 door Nissan Skyline GTR PGC10?

And a first generation Celica GT fastback RA28?

Now, for only $14 that’s a bargain! Now how do I convince my wife that it is actually a bargain. ;)

JList: Japanese Beginner Driver Mark

I’ve been advertising for JList.com/JBox.com for a while now and I actually wanted to know what I was advertising for!

I always thought the Japanese driving marks were a fun item to own, so I decided to buy the beginners mark from them! I could very well have chosen for the senior driving mark, but the video of the Carina Jeune made me decide for the beginners mark…

I was a bit amazed by the price: this mark only cost me only 9 dollars including shipping! I’ve seen these for sale at some huge JDM site for sale for 15 dollars without shipping!

So I ordered the item and expected it to take a week or two to arrive. I was quite surprised when a package arrived only 8 days later!

It was nicely packaged in a thick envelope with a big carton behind the mark to prevent it from bending. Nice!

I was a bit surprised of its size: it is 4.5 inch wide and 7 inch high!

From the instruction I understood you need to apply this one clearly visible to the inside of the rear window of your car. This mark has a suction cup (a magnetic one is also available!), so you can reuse it in any car you like. ;)
There is also one needed at the front of the car but I didn’t buy that one since I’m not living in Japan and this is supposed to be a novelty. ;)

BTW: note that JBox.com is the SFW variant of JList.com, so if you are interested in bizarre Japanese stuff (tenga, tentacles, school uniforms, etc.) you can also browse Jlist.com!
