Which part of the globe has the best car culture and why?

Different parts are neat for different things.

Japan seems pretty neat. No one gives a fuck about what you're into or how you modify your car as long as you're passionate about it. Those nips generally don't seem to be that judgemental.

Basically the polar opposite of /o/.

southern California

its been the center for car culture since car culture was a thing

birthplace of import scene
birthplace of hotrodders
birthplace of lowriders

tons of styles

tons of shops

tons of good roads

>>17453058
Driving is part of our culture, stupid lyft faggots get out reeeeeeeee

Best car culture in terms of quality? Japan

Best car culture in terms of raw performance and freedom of modification? USA

Best car culture in terms of keeping with the original intent of the manufacturer engineering? Europe

Best car culture in terms of making the best of what you're given? Any 3rd world nation

I'd say my country, the UK, has a lively auto scene.

>used market is affordable. RHD country surrounded by LHD, once it's here it's probably not being sold to the continent.
>freedom of modification. Look at old Top Gear challenges and see what you can drive on the roads here.
>good driving roads. Outside cities, there's an abundance of countryside roads that are a pleasure to drive.
>insurance becomes affordable after a few years of sensible driving. 17-21 is meme territory as any other British anons will confirm.
>we get a lot of desirable cars sold here. It's improving too, we're even being sold the Mustang.

>>17453584
Best car culture in terms of smokin darts and doing doughies? Australia

Australia, we've got the best of Euro, American and Jap cars plus our own. In terms of variety and availability we have it the best. If America didn't have their import laws things would be different.

>>17454726
Countries who drive on the wrong side of the road can never have the best car culture.

God no.

With all the highway patrols hunting car enthusiasts, and NSW police making a mockery of car scene in general, Australia is one of the worst places.

>>17453058
i agree

nowhere else on the planet has so many exotics, classics, tuned cars, and every other scene actually been driven around and visible, at least not in europe or south america. i can't really speak to japan.

there is just nowhere else with so many well-modified and rare cars driving around, just look at our morning meets

the only thing that seems to possibly compare is daikoku PA or monaco

>>17455305
yeah, but we also don't have real vehicle inspections, and anybody involced in the scene can tell you there are tons of illegal smog shops which will pass absolutely anything

>>17455945

maybe not so much southern california, but california as a whole has some of the best roads anywhere

France and Italy have some of the best stunt drivers. They have narrow, winding roads in the mountains and in old cities to contend with. Scenes on wide freeways might look impressive, but take a look at the scenes in Ronin for some close quarters driving.

call me a boomer of whatever (i'm 24) - there is NOTHING like the sound and the aesthetic appeal of a classic American vehicle.

nothing is better than an american car from the 50s,60s, and early 70s
sure jap imports are great but they don't have anything on this

Canadian cars? Oh wait. How does this country even exist? Time to grab Canada by the pussy and get them some freedom and cheaper milk. Get out the sowing machines, time to add a few stars to the ol' red white and blue. Death to the maple menace. Send in Omega Force!

Leaf here, we have all of this and more without the shitty nannystate hoon laws and government inspections.
Plus we can actually import cool stuff for cheap, and not require it to be cut in half or be on a registry.

california, it's not even a contest

we have literally every kind of auto activity here thanks to the diverse climate and topography

within a 20 mile radius from my house there's a shop that restores classic european cars, a miata specialist shop that's always filled with miatas and a general tuner shop that always has a bunch of rx7's and honda's parked outside

It's actually true, Japs will respect you if you're passionate and skillful about a hobby, as long as you make an effort not to inconvenience anyone or shove it in their faces.

"Build" a useless, loud as shit fartbox and drive it up and down through town all night like an American highschooler? You bet your fucking ass they'll hate your guts, people in any country on earth will.

Whatever. We could start the invasion at 9:45 am. And have every major city and capital occupied by noon. The absurdity of trying to resist would just be too much. I know Canadians are funny people but the joke would be on them.

>>17462114
Americans like you are shit.
You do know Canada and America Are the best of buds?

Also, you fail to seem to think that some people would just take it laying down, good meme, you do realise that some people would go full Yugoslav War on your army? IE war crimes for days.

Ps. Our milk is better then your shitty milk

>Italy and California.

Italy's car culture is top heavy. Modifying your car is essentially illegal so unless you are rich you don't really get to participate in car culture.
Car culture in Italy is basically rich guys in Ferraris, doctors in classic Alfas and Lancias and normal guys with fiat 500s.

>>17462038

Yeah, but they will all be rusted to shit in a couple of years, unless you only drive them during the few months of summer.

Honestly I think you can appreciate things far more if you can't have them all the time. Floridians who can drive exotics or ride motorcycles year round will soon consider it ordinary, and ultimately end up less satisfied than someone who can get half his garage back out of storage every spring.

>>17459292
