A Love Letter to Japanese Cars [4k]

It’s likely evident to the keen-eyed observer that for a channel with a name as inclusive as “Gears and Gasoline”, we tend to pay the most attention to only one segment of the automotive market: Japanese imports. We are unabashed fans of Japan’s work in the industry, and this weekend’s video will be an indulgent love letter to all things Japanese car. NOTE: If you’re confused by the relevancy of the anxiety-inducing intro to the rest of the video, I am too. In my head, the sequence segwayed more seamlessly into the discussion about Japanese cars, as I was looking at Mitsubishis. The intro doesn’t really fit tonally though, to be honest, but I liked it too much to cut it. Special thanks to Jon, Wendall, Rapp, Chris Driver, and Driver Motorsports for helping make this video possible.
