Cool Cars in Ichinomiya #13

スレッド
When I went to pick up a couple of friends from the station, they weren`t the only oversized, attention-seeking foreigners I found there - I was super-surprised to spot this mean machine parked nearby.

It`s a 1959 Chevrolet Impala. It must be difficult to park - it`s about two metres just from the back wheel to the back bumper! Actually, it must be hard to do anything in this car on small Japanese roads, it`s so long.

It`s easy to look at though. Niiiice car!

I have not seen a car like this.
It is so cooooooool!!!!!!

But it looks difficult to drive especially around the station!!!!!

In Japan, we must drive on the right road.

Which side do you have to drive in Australlia??

Yes, it must be difficult to drive such a long car in Japan.
In Australia we drive on the left side of the road - same as Japan (so if you visit Australia, I recommend renting a car & going driving!)

It is so huge. Sometimes I have seen such a car in this time. But I wouldn't drive like a car because I couldn't have the necessary space for the car. If I would drive the car, I would hit it somewhere soon. He, he!!

It must be stressful to drive a car like this in Japan, right?

Oh!
It's cool!!!

Actually,
I have been spoken from a driver of an Impara about 3years ago.
Maybe he tried to pick me up,
because he said "Why don't we go for drive?"

The car was really cool, but he was a really young guy and he seemed a womanizer...I guess.

Of course I said "No thanks!" haha... :)

Haha - that`s a funny story!
If the owner of a classic car like this offered me a ride, I would probably say yes!
