Or maybe on the other hand, the guy is a success and feels he has the right to be different. Go for it!

More power to the guy! In a time where most adults try to fit into a cookie-cutter image, this guy is doing his own thing. I'm going to slaughter this quotation so I apologize in advance:

"Two roads diverged in the woods and I, I took the road less travelled."

This guy is the living embodiment of that quote.

Fadamor - he certainly doesn't fit into the psychological profile of men who try to overcompensate for perceived shortcomings by buying a gas-guzzler and stomping around with pitbulls, eh?

I wish we could edit our posts so I could correct my post above rather than make a new post. Oh well. The CORRECT quote (with proper attribution) is:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

women are attracted to men with originality. he is the most original man I have seen in 5 years.

Back to the future. I remember seeing the first Honda Civics in the U.S. and thinking they looked like death traps. That, however, is nothing but a three-wheeled motorcycle with a body. Makes a Smart Car look like a Hummer!

What's up with the headphones? That can't be legal in Japan.

He's downsizing. Small dogs are small and have smaller items coming out the back end that an owner needs to pick up. They take up less space in a dwelling but they still alert by barking. You can also train them to use a cat box during cold winter nights. You don't want to have a big dog doing cat box in the house. Meanwhile, I'm loving this pic. Sunny days, posters!

The poodles have goggles on. Does that make the eyewear "poogles"?

I like the pic. I also think this dude is KOOL! I also think that negative people on JT are losers.

T-Rex I must agree with you on both counts

A chap in a tiny car with his poodles, listening to music through headphones is just too much for many JT readers.

How dare he do this!

This guy's got no girlfriends... Hence, the need to be flashy to attract attention. However, he isn't the player-type either... He's probably doing it just for the sake of doing it and enjoying life. Hence, this is why this picture is A-OK in my book!

Has anyone spotted this one in Japan yet?

Wow, a Japanese update on the old Messerschmitt! There's an original in a local car museum (Lane Motor Museum, Nashville). Really neat.

And some people say the Japanese have no individuality, and then complain when they do!

This guy is doing what he wants, living his dream, and not hurting anyone. More power to him.
