Andres from Guatemala sent me some pics of his recent trip to Tokyo and I really got a kick out of this. This photo was taken in a convenient store and showcases a Japanese coffee company’s promotion of coupling each purchase of coffee with a toy car…but not just any toy car, a toy of race modified Porsche’s which Andres says are specifically RUF Porches.

The Japanese sure love their cars and this is a really unique example of how the mainstream market in Japan embraces tuning culture. Anywhere else a standard Porsche 997 model would work…but in Japan standard just isnt good enough to sell coffee…it must be tuned! I love it.
