A friend of mine (hi Mark!) suddenly became so interested in old Japanese cars, so for his viewing pleasure here are some wrecks. The first three pictures show an old legendary Subaru and the last 2 pictures are some random cars I found next to the street.

Update: Added another one to the end just to prove a point :)

Greenland – An abandoned amusement park in Fukushima, Japan
