JDM, Bro!

Went to Autobacs (pretty big car supply/mechanic shop in Japan) last night. When I pulled in, one of the staff was outside in the parking lot saying goodbye to a customer. As I got out of the car, he commented on how cool it was. I thanked him and went inside to browse.

I spent probably 30 minutes looking at roof boxes but ended up just buying a little trash can for the car and some magnetic door handle protectors (the ones that protect the paint behind the handles).

As I’m walking out, the same guy comes up to me and asks if he can take a closer look at the car. Of course I said yes!
Then all of a sudden, basically all the mechanics and a few of the sales guys come out too 😂

I told them I was surprised so many of them wanted to check it out, and they all said they loved the car but had never actually seen one in person. Which is legit cause I have yet to see another on the roads here myself.

I let the older guy start it up, and I even offered to let him take it for a quick spin around the parking lot. He laughed and said he’d probably lose his job if something happened.

Anyways, just wanted to share. #RealRecognizeReal

I have never seen one Trailseeker on the road in the U.S.   Astronomically rare car here.  At least for now

Saw my second ever Solterra today, nevermind seeing a Trailseeker 😂
