    Damn, that was stressful to watch.

    Can't even imagine having to do that everyday. I would probably end up driving through someone's living room. :D

    So this is the Japanese equivalent of driving something like a 1959 Buick or a 70s Pimpmobile down a narrow one-way between 2 walls of parked cars in the US.

    Hey, all the more to the driver for navigating it right.

    No way you could own an FD and drive it around there.

    Done that a million times here in Japan in my Impreza. It's actually not that difficult. The bad part is if you get to the end and find out there's no room for you to fully pull out of the narrow Street. Then you have to go down it backwards. That did happen to me once and man, that was very tense. I didn't like that one little bit. Edging little by little to reach the end without turning the car wheels at all.

    I may have a youtube video of me online doing 40mph/60kph up a hilly twisty narrow road a bit wider than the one on the above video. I'll take a look because I had to take them down due to the Japanese police checking youtube for mountain racer videos!

    Edit: nope, I deleted them but I should still have back ups somewhere.
