I had been up all night, late into the morning, searching for the cheapest tickets to Japan. Where in Japan? Narita Airport. With the trip already planned, and all the stops laid out, I just knew I had to get started planning where I was going to go next. I had a lot of stops to make if I wanted to please the CarDomain crew. The trip was planned for January 15th, after the holidays. I had been looking for tickets within my budget for before that, but to no avail…

Originally I had made the plans for personal reasons, and although this is still true, I’ve decided that now is the best time to do some good photos and reports on some great places in Japan. With a brand new Panasonic Lumix in hand, and a heck of a lot of cash to spare, I think I’m set. After all, I had neglected to grab some photos the last time I went to Tokyo, so this time, it’s payback time.

The stops? Rauh Welt, Top Secret, RE Amemiya, Zele International, and a few private dealers. Of course I have to do some sightseeing, and I’ll be reporting every once in a while on the interesting cars I see driving around. In the meantime, here’s your chance to throw out some more ideas on good shops I should visit!

This image had me totally stumped, so I was pumped to see how many great comments we received this week. But since there can only be one winner, I had a to make a hard decision. This week’s winner is NSGrandAm, who came up with; “You can steal my wheels, but you’ll be prying my Go-kart Driver’s Championship trophy from my cold dead hands.” Good stuff man, bravo. Tune in tomorrow for the next installment of our uber-popular Caption Contest!

Apparently Rolls-Royce is getting ready to jump on the EV bandwagon and will offer an electric Phantom late next year. This will most likely be a lease only program in a few select cities. Via Autoblog Green

Here’s a great one for you. The GM public relations machine was hoping for young buyers for the new 2010 Camaros, but one guy just single-handedly brought up the average. He’s 101 years old! Virgil Coffman in Decatur, Illinois, was not going to let age stop him from motoring in a new Trans4mers edition V8-powered Camaro.

Car Culture At Large

On my way up to the Drift Matsuri on Friday I stopped over at Nikko circuit as I heard there was a drift track-day going on, organized in collaboration with T&E. I’m so glad I did take the little detour as I got to see some fantastic cars, total grassroots stuff being driven hard around the track. One car that grabbed my attention was this unmolested GX71 Cresta Super Lucent slammed onto some sexy vintage JDM wheels. The whole body has been left stock, the 80′s looks enough to make this this boxy Toyota sedan beyond cool. Even the emblems were still intact on the trunk lid! Continue reading at Speedhunters

I’ve invented a new sport called “extreme garaging.” Okay, maybe I didn’t create it, but I have officially christened it with a somewhat memorable name.

Simply put, extreme garaging is the art of cramming way more vehicles into indoor storage than was ever intended. Collectors all know that extreme garaging is a sport of necessity–we can’t leave our cherised classics and exotics out in the elements. Why don’t we build a larger garage or rent space? Sorry, Charlie, that takes money… and we obviously have already blown all our Shekels on cars.

When I bought my current home last year, it was listed as having an “attached three-car garage.” Over the last ten months, it has housed five with plenty of room to spare.

Yesterday I took my extreme garaging career to a new level. I upped the ante by bringing home the Sound Classics Infamous Craigslist Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 Project while I wait for a computerized ignition system to arrive from Austrailia. With a little help from a set of Go-Jacks, I have six cars (plus my daughters’ battery-powered pink Corvette) staying warm and dry inside.

The best part is that moving the Sunbeam back two feet will free-up another fifteen feet and change–enough room, for instance, for a Porsche 930 Turbo, ’65 Mustang or Dodge Viper. Sure, everything would be wedged-in tighter than the members of Judas Priest in their vintage 80s leather, but I could still even maintain the sitting area with couch, coffee table and chair.

So can you beat my extreme garaging feat of putting six-plus cars (with room for one more) in a three-car garage?

I’ve seen Porsches covered in gold. I’ve seen Porsches covered in Tweed. Hell, I’ve even seen a Porsche 911 thrown in a crusher in the name of art. This, however, is the first time I’ve seen a Porsche covered in chocolate. Created by a Porsche dealer in the Netherlands, this is not a standard Porsche option.
