Sorry the pictures are kinda crap. I'd never seen one before and thought it looked super cool!

It was really small and it looked like basically the whole top half of the car was glass

Also kinda surprised with myself that I recognize the rims, I think they're painted e30 bottlecaps 😅

I'm telling anyone who will listen that while modern cars may be objectively better on paper, these 80s and 90s Japanese cars had something you couldn't measure. I think the same applies to American cars from the 50s and 60s. I dunno. Call it soul, I guess.

I think it's that you can tell a lot of love and excitement went into their design and manufacture

The care shows :) They're unique and have such clear design focus in a lot of cases. They don't feel like they're all the same, just churned out to fill the same basic market need, there are a lot of weird, interesting, thoughtful, fun cars and you can tell someone put a lot of love and passion into them. People who were as excited about their idea as many folks still are about them today!
