The remaining half-dozen cars take off, each following their favorite path to the shrine. This is the time to really concentrate on honing their driving skills, and Chii was enjoying the drive as well. Thank God I’m not prone to car sickness! Dusk is fast approaching when we reach akagi Shrine by lake akagi; temperatures are dropping rapidly too. Everyone gathers around, talking endlessly about cars, routes, and anything related to cars. Wondering what is in store, I ask tappu (they all prefer nicknames) what we are waiting for. He replies, “Remember the cars with all the wiring modifications? Those are in full glory after it gets dark. You just have to wait.” as the sun slips below the horizon, two drivers ignite their engines and two Pleos suddenly burst forth in a rainbow-colored glare – front, sides, back, inside, underneath, even from the Subaru emblems. I wonder how many hours these guys put into installing these lamps and rewiring the electricals. “like it? We call them the K-Car Electrical Parade,” their owners proudly declare; they have been waiting for this moment all day. Chii and I bid farewell to the other members, who speed off into the dark to head home. It has been a great day spent with cars and car-enthusiasts under the sparkling blue sky. SKC plans meetings such as this one only a few times a year, visiting famous spots such as mt. Haruna, which gives the club an excuse to gather and enjoy hanging out with fellow car geeks in their beloved K-Cars. a few days later I receive an email from Chii asking, “We’re planning on doing another meet at a great noodle shop. Wanna come?” I politely decline, as I have had enough noodles for the entire season, although I could easily imagine that it was simply another excuse to hang out with friends, talking about cars to no end. < This directory is provided as a service to our readers.
