Mainstream Productions, the creators of Import Showoff, presented the Mega Matsuri on August 22nd in collaboration with the Nisei Week Festival in Downtown LA’s Little Tokyo district. You might be wondering what, exactly, is a Mega Matusuri? Matsuri is Japanese for “Festival” and is derived from a verb which means to attend to or to entertain. And mega is, uh, mega. The intent of the show to add a street culture twist to the standard car show fare with such features as a Best Offset contest, JDM garage sale, Ruckus Display and a “Lifestyle Alley” where trendy hipsters could buy street wear and fixed gear bikes and accessories. Sadly, the cars and the crowds never materialized giving the event more of a “Mini” Matsuri kind of feel. Get to clickety clacking on the gallery images to see some of the cars of Mega Matsuri.

When I first joined CarDomain three years ago, everyone told me it was a tuner site. Well, for a tuner site, there sure were a lot of full-sized trucks, Jeeps, Mustangs, Camaros, Mopars, etc. So when we started the blog a few months later, I tried to include a healthy amount of domestic content. And honestly, that’s what people seemed to respond to the most. So are the import folks here just quiet or what? Or have I scared them away? I like imports and domestics, but if I have to chose, I’ll always pick domestic. How about you? Oh, and I decided not to include an option for “both.” Take a stand, people!
