Rock’n Roll Works Equipped with the American Dream – WTF?!

March 7, 2024 / / 0 Comments

This Work Equip advertisement is another wacky magazine advertisement from a random Japanese magazine. It’s just mindboggling what the designers must have thought when they composed this advertisement. Let’s go over all those texts in the advertisement!
City after dark is our stage!
You look so fine tonight!
Let our dreams run all through the night
I’m your heroin
May I sit next to you?
We’re the real Rock’n Rollers
Come with us, Equip!
You, get off!
American Dream, you are going to be us

I’m quite puzzled by the I’m your heroin May I sit next to you? I could interpret this in various ways. Also, by the absence of a female person in this advertisement, the meaning of heroin makes me fear the worst!

Hilarious: Nissan Skyline Trans Am

February 18, 2011 / / 1 Comment


Now this is something different: a Nissan Skyline DR30 with a huge american influence. Maybe better to referred as the Skyline Trans Am:
Nissan Skyline Trans Am
Nissan Skyline Trans Am
You can clearly see the nose is a copy of the 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.

The big question remains: what were they thinking:
Nissan Skyline Trans Am
Nissan Skyline Trans Am
Lots and lots of scoops, wings and other stuff. It almost feels like a riced out Firebird… But the only thing is that it isn’t a Pontiac…

Hilarious: American muscle is stronger than Japanese tin

February 5, 2010 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday I already posted a car chase by the Abunai Deka and today I have another one! This time they swapped their regular Nissan Leopard Y31 for a second generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am!

Now this is a perfectly good example why American cars are superior to the Japanese: you can empty your gun on a Trans Am and it will still be going as strong as when it left the Pontiac factory in the mid 70s! Now compare that to their regular Leopard: would they have survived at such an attack at all?

After four and a half minute of wrecking 20 to 30 perfectly good late 70s and early 80s Salary Men type saloons it comes to an end when the Trans Am finally escapes the junkyard. It must have been a wise choice of the director to pick the junkyard as the background of this scene: after wrecking 30 cars you can just leave them there! Saves a lot of trouble in logistics! Brilliant!
