Yo, kind of a super-special late post by me here. Anyway, I just got done watching episodes 25 and 26 of GTO. Outstanding episodes!
AHEM, onto the subject... (warning car-dork talk ahead!) appearently the nurse Mao was a former street racer who drove an old school C10 Skyline. Appearently, the nickname of the C10 was Hakosuka. I wonder it the R34 has one? I know the R32 was nicknamed "Godzilla" by the western press.
One last thing for my brother/sisters out there with Skyline-love, appearently the next-gen Skyline is designated V35 and it is available in the US as the Inifiniti G35 (according to Tokyopop's handy-dandy cultural notes insert). That's strange, I was under the impression that the G35 was Infiniti's version of the 350Z (they have the same body style it seems).

Except for Mazdas, they go "zoom, zoom".

Emerje is right, Mazda's go "Zoom, zoom"

...Freaking Mazda people... oh well, at least they are better then Toyota people Twisted Evil

Although I like the new Mazda 6

Anyway, I must find out once and for all if the G35 is the Skyline V35... TO THE MOTOR TREND ARCHIVES!
