Gimp Your Ride, Japan Style

Via Secret Japan:

The technical term for these is Ita-Sha. Ita is derived from the kanji for pain, while Sha simply means car. It may also be a little play on words of “Italian car”, but who knows.

Any readers around Tokyo ever actually seen some of these? I was thinking of gimping out my bike with a decal or something... (JOKE! Seriously, that was a joke...)

yer I saw this on Pink Tentacle a while back! The sad thing is I actually thought some of them were pretty cool... until I saw the blowup doll in the passenger seat pic... too far!

I love the pic on Secret Japan where the kids are all pushing to touch the car! hahaha

Here's a picture I took of the sickest truck I've seen here in Japan. I would love to see this guy pull up in an American highway rest stop in this thing.
