    Is this article about (a) cell phone cameras, (b) freaky otaku, (c) maid cafes, (d) ???

    I have a suggestion - when someone writes an article, have a point.

    Thundercat -

    I have a feeling you and I are countrymen. I'll never go through the US on the way home again either - I have no great desire to be barked at like a dog. Also, while I work for a US company I've resisted heading "back to home office" for the same reason. Rude, ignorant, staff at the airports are something I want less of in my life. To top it off, last time I flex through LAX my luggage was opened and my laptop stolen. Nice.

    And for USNinJapan2 - thanks for summing up the childish, rude, and xenophobic American attidude so clearly. Under your logic, with a little more time hopefully no non-American will ever visit your sad little country again.

    The whole Shaken thing is absurd. If you sell your car to avoid the payment, the estimated shaken cost will be deducted from the sale price - and you'll still be paying it on the new car anyway (albeit after 3 years for a new car.)

    Buying a new car does nothing to "avoid" Shaken - I wish the media, public, etc, would stop taking this as received wisdom. If anything, your average cost of owning a car goes up since you are replacing a sunk cost item with a new, more expensive version.

    Let's just all agree that Japanese like shiny new cars (don't we all?), can afford to pay for them, and leave it at that.

    One last thing - domestic cars depreciate far faster than imported models - unless the writer of the article is tracking Lada's or Fords.
