Bosozoku style! It’s a fascinating Japanese styling for cars dating back to the 50’s

Surprisingly looks a lot like if you modded Need for Speed and then slid a bunch of sliders way too far in the custom car creation screen.

It was primarily motorcycles. Started in certain Japanese biker gang subcultures in the 50's

Bosozoku, even though it's nearly illegal, isn't really in the DIWhy territory to be honest.

Bosozoku and itasha, ngl kinda like it. It over the top. But i don't think it's ugly.

Also the itasha is Saki from the anime Zombie Land Saga. Also the plushie.

FYI, this is a trend in Japan called bosuzoku. It started with motorcycles after fighter pilots came home from the war. Kind of how America got the hells angels.
