I took this in 2016 in Chiba, Japan. It was 100% original and looked like it just rolled off the dealer floor.

I was just walking down the sidewalk when the dude parked and got out. I said “Nice ride!” and in a perfect American accent (he was Japanese) he said “Hey, thanks man!”

Then two cops walked up to him and started chatting in Japanese. They were pointing to his car while talking, so I figured they were admiring his car, then both cops get down on their hands and knees, pull out a measuring tape, and measure the distance from the front tire to the curb. They keep talking to each other and making hand gestures over the measurements. The dude looks at me, rolls his eyes, and says “Welcome to Japan.” I started laughing when the two cops stood up and were looking at me (I’m a good foot taller than both of them). I started to cough, which totally freaked them out and they bowed and excused themselves, practically running away. I asked what happened and he explained how they have nothing better to do than walk around measuring tire-to-curb distances and issuing citations, but my coughing freaked them out and caused them to run away, so he thanked me for saving him a ticket.
Bought and sold many cars over time. Regret selling this one EVERY day......
