Here's the photo of my RX8 mascot that travels with me where ever my wheels take me. His name is Bear, he is a Careflight RX8 bear. Note his yellow badge and RX8 headgear.

Great pics L&L! What do the Asian symbols represent on your car and inside on the rear seat? The weather there looks wonderful! I'm in the midwest, here in the U.S. and we don't have anything that looks like that. Wish Australia wasn't 22 hrs. away!!

Guys thanks for your positive feed back , i will attempt to answer all your questions .
Mental pimp
Here on the gold coast most local go barefoot where ever possibly , but i love driving barefoot as i can get the best feel for the clutch and the gears in my car.
.The best type of driving shoes i use are my martial art shoes you can get them from any martial arts suppliers , they are great for wearing /driving and are a 3rd of the price of all the fancy named brands.
Success 07
The asian symbols are japanese KANJI , the simbols near the rear doors mean " The way of the warrior " BUSHIDO.
The other kanji symbols on the bonnet and rear console have different meanings .
One says the year of the SNAKE (my birthyear ) the other says FORCE , ENERGY ( KI) and the thrid has the meaning of SPEED ,WIND , BREEZE.(Translated into modern kanji and combined they can be translated as meaning .
" A YELLOW SNAKE FULL OF ENERGY AS FAST AS THE WIND"
(The name i have given my rx8)
As i practice martial arts and always had a passion for japanese culture i felt inclined to give my RX8 a soul .
If you want you can look up a kanji site and maybe give your car a symbol/ meaning .
Whealy
The front numbplate is a vinyl sticker that i had made up not legal in some areas of oz or overseas .
RX7-RX8
SORRY FORGOT YOUR QUESTION .
Brothervoodo
No further trouble with local Yakuza , infact i meet the head boss , and we have hopefully smoked the peace pipe.
Hopefully this answer most of your questions.

Not trying to hate, but if your not Asian, please don't put Kanji/Katakana or Chinese characters on your car or get tatoos with them. You just look stupid. Just my honest opinion. Nice car and nice pics any how.

That's cool, enjoy our customs/ways. But here's my point my friend, I like certain the Irish clover symbol, and a good friend of mine who is Irish has this tatto on his neck, and it looks pretty dope. Now how stupid would that look when an Asian guy like me has a tatto of a Irish clover. That's all I was trying to get to. Out here in California, even Asian folks who have Kanji/Katakana or Chinese symbols on their cars get clowned.

If getting a irish clover tattoed on your neck does it for you who cares wether you a not irish but asian .
The most important thing is to be yourself and be true to your self and dont worry what people think or say about you what you look like ,what you wear , what you eat .
Life is to short to live other peoples expectations of who you should be , look like etc .
Iam not irish , however i enjoy irish pubs their songs and their beer , and if i choose to get an irish tatto who really cares.?
Currently in Australia lots of people from all sorts of backgrounds are getting MAORI (original new zealanders ) type tattoes as well as japanese chinese character tatooes .
Most of these people are not all maories or asians , they do it because they want to and in the end its there choice .
Dont worry be happy.

You're kinda chubby, exactly what martial art are you studying? I agree with what the dude from cali was saying. Asian characters on cars=gay. Just because you like watching anime doesn't make you JDM.
