[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 16058655, member: 79484"] So the rental car company we rented from is a company called Omoshiro Rent-A-Car, they rent out enthusiast cars like GT-R's, Evo's, S2K's, anything JDM they probably have it. [URL="https://www.omoren.com/en/products/list"]全商品 / Sports car open car specialized for rental cars OMOSHIRO RENT-A-CAR[/URL] My original plan was to rent a black Evo 6, I figured it was small enough we could maneuver it around the city but it was a sedan so we could fit 3 and our stuff no problem. Sadly, someone snagged it on the day I wanted to pick it up and the day I wanted to return it, so we had to fall back to plan B. Plan B which was probably one of the most ridiculous things I could have rented. Enter the 1998 Nissan Stagea Autech 260RS.
