Their songs are mainly about motorcycles, conflicts at school, hanging out with your gang and adolescent love.

In this picture you can really see how stretched the tires are:

Now that would look great on a kyusha style car! 🙂

We found these on auctions.yahoo.co.jp with an auction for the big spoiler on the back of this car:

This Cresta GX51 is a perfect example of the old school bosozoku style we saw during the 90s.
It even breathes more 90s from the front of the car:
