Tokyo-->Osaka sportscar rental
Enrique Sanchez
Should I want to rent a sportscar (2 seater plus luggage) and drive from
Tokyo to Osaka.
Would anyone be so kind to point out:
Is one way rental possible?
Can I rent a sportscar?
Will the tolls outway the cost of petrol and car rental?
Will it be as much fun as I think it would?
Thanks very much.

Did you perchance mean to ask if it would all outweigh the cost of
taking the train? Then... probably yes if one person, maybe no if two.
> Will it be as much fun as I think it would?

Could be if you don't take the toll roads. How much time do you have?
Personally I love driving and I've done the Osaka-Tokyo trip a couple of
times; swing around Izu, or go along the Japan Sea (unless you're going
in winter) for a more interesting trip.

I hope to do this around early January, and will have a day or so. By
sportscar I mean something sporty i.e. RX7, MR2 - anything with 2 letters
and one numeral in its name should do the trick. Actually, I guess a
sportscar isn't 100% necessary. Just driving in Japan will be an interesting
(I am sure in the most ambiguous way) experience itself.

If any of you are in the Kansai area, I strongly recommend Mt. Rokko and the

Nothing like that anywhere in the Seattle area.

Do they have fines in excess of $4000, or do they
offer to let you pay off your debt to society by
earning $50/day in prison in the Seattle area?

You wouldn't mind sharing the fine details of this lesson by any chance?
I thought the 15,000 fine I got for doing 104km/hr in what I thought was
a 100 zone on an expressway in Mie (it turned out to be 80) was a bit
steep. A 400,000 fine would mean no sex for months. I'd like to avoid
that if possible.

The cameras are increasingly everywhere - you don't drive much?
I'm not as worried by the cameras as by all the unmarked cars.

The lesson - Don't have an accident with a
professional (and I use that term loosely) driver
in Japan.
I had an accident in an intersection in a big
automobile, with a 'speedy delivery' bike. We were
both running lights. OK great, "50/50" the cops
tell us.
What they don't tell you is that there is no such
thing as 50/50 in this country. When the final
report comes out, whoever's name is listed on top
is found to be 51% at fault by the insurance
companies, judges and anybody else that gives a
damn. I drove the bigger car, the other guy got
injured, my name got listed on top. YIPPEE!
I got fined because of the injury. The guy worked
for one of those bike 配達 (haitatsu) companies.
He had one of his buddies there in minutes to
advise him on what to say and do. He was
physically fine (refused offers of an ambulance
from both me, and later the police) until that
&%&$#ing guy arrived. Suddenly, he felt like he
needed one. If I had known how bad his buddy was
ass raping me, they would have needed an extra
ambulance. Over time, more witnesses crawled out
of the woodwork. Of course, none of them
corroborated my story. Wonder where they came
from.

Take the prison option and you'll get enough sex

That is indeed correct. And anybody stupid enough to get caught by one
deserves whatever they get. They put signs up several hundred meters
ahead warning you that there are speed cameras ahead, and they're
mounted on massive gantry-looking doohickeys that you can spot with no
trouble at all.
Eric Takabayashi
I've seen an unmarked car on the highway once. It seemed to be a
Skyline sedan, and it had pulled someone over to ticket them, before
the entrance of a tunnel.
Including that time, I have seen police on the highway three or four
times in ten years.
I once saw two guys on a motorcycle without helmets go without
stopping at a small unmarked intersection. Red lights suddenly
appeared behind the grille of the sedan waiting behind it. However,
they simply went straight under the railway overpass and got lost
turning behind the pachinko parlor.

OK, thanks. Shows how little I drive.
The 2-Belo
One can also see, on occasion, the ones mounted in metal cages next to bypass
intersections, right next to the comically large traffic cones (I'm talking 3
meters tall, folks) in the center of the intersection put there to deter 走り屋
but in reality only pisses off truckers trying to turn.

cameras. Unless you are driving all by yourself, and there is noone ahead of
you for 3 kilos and it is your first time on the highway, maybe. Even if it
IS your first time on that particular stretch you can watch the people ahead
of you that invariably slow down because THEY know it's there. Most of the
times there are signs anyways, so that should be a "sign".

would be something different then. The ticket is just a tax to abuse the
speed limits. If you can afford to pay it, I figure speed as much as you
want in Japan. Espcially if you don't have to worry about having points on
your drivers's license, ie. make sure you have an international license and
spell your name with katakana differently every time you have business with
the police, that way they never know who you are.

suggest going up Mt. Rokko and driving all 6-7 courses up there. I'm sure

I learned the hard way though that your insurance (even full coverage) won't
cover your racing accidents up there so make sure you can bankroll it before
you get in too deep.

Early 90's I think it was 450,000/month.

1. I don't know WTF, "The ticket is just a tax to

2. Gaigins get International licenses in there

Come on, man. Don't be one of those stereotypical crotchety old-timers
who always cops an attitude with us newbies and never gives us the
help we need. I bought one of those neato kei-cars in August and I use
it to drive to work (14 kilometers round trip) so I'd like to know all
the ways you have of beating the system so I can drive like I want to
with total impunity. Or punity. Or whatever it is. Vocab like that is
outside my normal range, but you can tell what I mean from context

Let's use romanji for those inhibited by their computers:
tomasu
tomesu
tamasu
tamesu
As you see, just right there is four different ways of spelling that
particular last name. Add in a first name and times that by four or so;
you'd quickly have 16 different ways that your name will be written down by
some old policeman fart that doesn't know engurishu pronunciation from his
dead grandmothers's riceballs.
You must communicate your name to the officer the way you wish at that
particular moment. You pronunciate it very clearly in their alphabet and he
will write it down that way. They sort in katakana for gaijin names (unless
you are some poor sorry motherfucker from China or Korea). Some dont'
believe me, but it's true. I know the mayor of Nishiwaki and he took me to
the Sannomiya main in Kobe and he showed me the records.
Remember. There are many different ways to say your name. It's not good for

You mean they don't copy your name off your license? Cool! That saves

I didn't know the cops let elected political officials who are
entirely outside their organizational hierarchy go down and root
through the records. We'll all be fucked when they start using

I'm thinking about opening up a Dunk the Assclown

always be a position open for your visiting
dignitary ass if you can ever find the time to
pull yourself away from pilfering through police
records with impunity while in town.

Lack of education. I see. I can't blame you for that though. That is

If you're going to use French, spell it correctly. "Compteurs".
I stay out of city hall as much as I can.

Luckily that was a misspelling. I was trying not to bring the French thing

That's a very good reason to be there (not your shlong, but the chicks).
That's why I went there for the very first time through my 20th. After that
it was too late.
Michael Cash
I've been trying to figure this whole thing out, and can't quite do
it.
So I get pulled over, get a ticket, give the cop some bogus-assed
katakana rendition of my name, and something goes into a filing
cabinet.
Then later on I get pulled over, get another ticket, give the cop a
different bogus katakana rendition of my name, and something goes into
a filing cabinet, but in a different location because they're filing
it based on how I told them to render my name.
I'm fine up until that point.
What I don't understand is how this gets me out of paying fines or
prevents me from losing points off my license.

First of all, you shouldn't have a Japanese license in the first place. You
should just renew your int'l license once a year out of the country. Then
you don't have to worry about points in the first place. All this only works
if you have an int'l license. If you don't have an int'l license, and
actually got screwed into taking an actual driving class and test 200-300
thousand yen, well, life sucks. You've gotta live with what you got yourself
into. Rules regarding int'l licenses and who may use them have changed this
year I am reading on a website right now... kanji is a little rusty, but it
looks like you must prove now that you have left the country more than once
a year in order to continue using an int'l license.

Only if a person took your word that this dichotomy was actually true.

I find it to be something of a necessity.

I only leave the country once every 5 years or so on average, so there
goes that idea.

When I got my Japanese license, I didn't have to do any of that. I
just gave a translation of my Tennessee license, took an eye exam, and
that was it.

From the National Police Agency's website:

1)日本の免許証：有効期間内
2)国際免許証及び外国の免許証：日本に上陸した日から1年間又は当該免許証の有効期間の

I don't have the means to remain outside Japan for over three months
at a time, especially just so I can try to pull some touristy scam
with an international drivers license.

I went through about 4 cars there, 30 plus parking tickets and 10+/-
speeding tickets. When I travel back there I still have my Eunos waiting for
me. And I still abide by the same rules. It still works. But no, you don't
have to trust me.

Well, I for one am the first to suggest that you should play by the rules.
As far as touristy scam goes... I don't think many tourists really know
about the situation. Maybe it's the "ugly gaijin" scam?
Go Cougars!

Michael Cash

Maybe it's the "gaigin with no fixed address who dashes in and out of
Japan before the cops and prosecutors get around to chasing his ass
down and hauling him in" scam.
Unfortunately, that won't work for most us, especially us newbies.
Bryce
No, I do have an address in Japan. And I'm paying big for it too. But yes,
it would work for lot's.
O well. It is better to play it safe though I suppose.
Also, you know those orange gizmos they tie around your mirror with the
cable that has the ticket in it?
Solution? bolt cutters from your local hardware store. I know it sounds
silly, but if you just say "I don't remember seeing one of those on my car",
well, you don't get a ticket for it. I know it sounds unbelievable... but
really, that works to for parking. (unless of course they are waiting by
your car for you to come back). Again, I don't *promote* this of course...

Could be if he wanted to. With the money that he
got for an afternoon's work on Monday, he could
just about buy the guvnor's mansion.
