This 1987 US Nissan commercial was posted by Reich and it clearly illustrates why cars and Flashdance don’t match:
WTF were the Nissan executives thinking in the 80s? Apart from the fact that flashdance and cars don’t match it is also weird to have such a commercial in the late 80s when flashdance was clearly out of fashion. Now if they would have come up with the Lambada it might actually have caught the attention of the teenagers. ;)

Some people may have read it on Twitter: I bought myself a box full of yellow foglights.
My Carina: Marchal yellow foglights
When driving there (and trying to find my way through Zoetermeer) I was navigating on the map. At a certain point I noticed a white Prius in my rear view mirror, when looking at the map and back to the rear view mirror it changed into a very well known front of a car: a R33 GTR! Damn, that was a shock! GTR passed me and gave the driver a thumbs up. ;)
If you look at the box it will contain four times a yellow Marchal foglight and two times a yellow Cibie foglight. Two of the Marchals are broken (lights/wiring/casing), but the other four are perfectly fine! :)
Well, this is the one I was actually after:
My Carina: Marchal yellow foglights
And they are surely worth the drive! :)

So, for the people with difficulty of remembering my Carina: this is what the Carina looked like.
And now it looks like this:
My Carina: Marchal yellow foglights
Better?

Without the black/white Marchal covers these foglights look a bit less sporty…
I’m already at part six of the Miata Hunting features! This time it will be an all black edition, so get ready for three black Miatas/MX5s!
Black Mazda MX5 mk2 NB
This one was shot next to a horse riding school, so maybe a rich lady riding horses? Why not ride her 142 black horses then?
Black Mazda Miata mk1 NA
This black Miata was parked on my way to work. The neighborhood isn’t that good, so seeing this car kind of surprised me… The car is an American import and was imported over 10 years ago. It still looks great, so that was another surprise. ;)
Black Mazda MX5 mk1 NA
This originally Dutch MX5 was parked about 200 meters away from the previous Miata (same neighborhood) on the same morning. Another surprise! I definitely had a busy morning still managed to get to work in time! ;)
Apparently Australian robots favor the 1985 Corolla FX above hovering two feet above the ground:
Now if that isn’t a selling point! :D
Time for some more car chases! This time it is Mitsubishis versus Nissans!

This video clip of Guerilla: Tokyo Police Group 8 shows what carnage a group of Nissans can do against the police Mitsubishis. Lucky enough Shou Kuramoto (chief Daimon in Seibu Keisatsu) kills off the rocket launcher. Unfortunately two perfectly good Nissan Gazelle S110s get killed instantly and the Cedric manages to survive a good 8 minutes. So the Mitsubishis prevail over the Nissans. Nissan versus Mitsubishi, 0 : 1.
I found this stack of old rusty J-tin on another rustoseum blog. It features a bunch of Toyota X60s, a Soarer Z10 and a Nissan Leopard F30:

Also visible next to the Soarer is the Laurel C34, Gloria Y31 and a blue 2 door Corolla Levin AE86 coupe.

Zoom in on the Soarer. It appears to have been either a racing car or a Kaidou Racer. I presume the latter. ;)
