Why don't more anime characters own cars?

Because Japan is an island nation with high population density in urban areas and a well developed public transport system. Next question.

Because the majority of main characters in modern anime are 14-year-old girls who are too young.

Wrong.

Because this isn't the 90s anymore.

Cars are useless in Japan

Japan's cities are built for people rather than cars. You can get by just fine in Japan without a car.

>>154148624
Because Japan is a Libertarian's dream. Tolls on every road.

They have to let the teacher drive them to the beach. Teachers don't get paid enough for this shit.

Japs can barely afford to have meat with there dishes let alone pay for gas and own an automobile

They don't have any eurobeat to fuel it.

Why bother driving one when the public transportation is already sufficient enough to go anywhere in the city?

>>154149802
Why does a Datsun have a Subaru badge?

>>154148624

Because middle and highschool students aren't allowed to drive one.

>>154149969
Explain Initial D.

>>154148624
Because Japan has an even more insane level of public transportation than the Germans and unlike the Germans they dont have highways on which you can go as fast as you damn well please.

In Japan you have to pay for gas by the litre.

Its about 5.50 USD right now for a gallon.

Also, bikes are everywhere in Tokyo. Maybe as many as Amsterdam, but they don't all just leave them laying in the street.

>>154148624
only dumb burgerfats who live in shitty surburbs 20 miles away from their job need cars

>>154151409
Many of them are old enough for what Japan considers mid-sized motorcycles though. 400cc bikes can be pretty quick these days.

It's actually really expensive to own a car in japan. The govt already provides them with good roads and ways of transportation so they are taxed a lot to own a car. Also, its not really needed since the norm there is riding a bike..
