I had no idea it was so close to my house!!

I couldn't play it, though I had no cash, and my bank account is bone dry, but I did see a guy playing it who sucked hard using an MR2 against Iketani, who they called Cole in the game

Iketani -> Cole? I really hope they don't call him that should the series ever reach the states in dubbed format.

There's also this card reader thing that the game has, but I saw no blank cards or anything around. Apprently you can build your car up from the basic using points, but I'm like, "Where's the blank cards at?!" I'm gonna go play it some tomorrow. Graphics were crazy good, too
