It's a forklift, the suspension is hydrolic so you can lift up pallets.

I choose to ignore the patio strapped to the front bumper and instead ask:
Trans-Am style headlights?
3 different sets of hood vents, plus a hood scoop?!!!
Faux rear fender vents *shudder*?
and lastly... TWO FRIGGIN REAR SPOILERS!!!?

I wonder what the Japanese call ricers?

Just looking at that pic gives me an irresistible urge to jump on the front of that spatula. That thing must flex like a mother at speed.

Normally Japanese tuners have better taste than that. I'm disappointed.

Maybe in Japan, they also have uh....."immigrants" that put more time into the body mods than the performance!
Not everyone has a tuners mindset when it comes to car mods.

Yeah, my wife said the same thing. She said it meant "crazy driver". There was also a word that meant "modified car", but I don't recall what it was.

Actually, now that I actually think about it, I remember that... I just don't have to use my knowledge of GM cars that often...
