I was really annoyed the sti was never a competitor against takumi or project D, when there were 8 battles with evos(9 if you count extra stage)

It was used no? I wonder if japs have fucking CL for used cars or just go to Honest Hiro's lot.

Japs never trade privately like on CL. When someone wants to sell a car they either trade it in or auctions it off. Similarly, if someone wants to buy one they usually go to dealerships. Auctions are for exports.

This (and everything they say about girls) is probably the most realistic thing in the show.

Every WRX and STi on the road has been thrashed regardless of what the owner tells you. If you buy one and tell yourself that you'll behave, you'll inevitably break that promise. Cars like this become a part of their owner. It shapes the driver to the stereotypes, and makes sensible mature men feel young and impulsive again.
