Not sure if it was mentioned already but Ookami-kakushi has a character, the brother of one of the leads, who drives a Burgundy AE86.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I made quite the discovery.

I know some people spotted the Mini Cooper in Moon Phase...but did anyone spot THIS?

Seiji drives a red Silvia K's.

(Sorry about the aspect ratio, MPC caps it that way)

I still have to finish watching that show. Tip on the aspect ratio: either screenshot with VLC instead (VLC handles DVDs infinitely better than MPC, trust me), or just do a quick resize with GIMP or another image editor (720x480 is DVD native, 853x480 is widescreen, 640x480 is non-widescreen).

I had no idea people use anything but VLC these days.

Go to /a/, most of them actually advise against it. I agree, honestly - subbed anime can get screwed up when played on VLC versus, say, Windows Media Player with the right codecs.
To each his own, though...

I've never had any issues with VLC running subs, so these kids must be smoking the reefers.

People do use other video players like MPC and Mplayer... I know I tend to use Mplayer myself since it loads faster than VLC...

VLC is nice, but it does have some limitations which make it impractical for general use. For one, there are a select few codecs it strictly does not support due to licensing or other legal issues. For another, its support of GPU offloading is a recent addition and an experimental one. For less powerful computers (like my netbook), GPU offloading is required to be able to play high definition content.

For just about everything, I use the latest build of MPC-HC. I only use VLC for DVD content and occasionally for diagnosing media problems (since it isn't affected by external filters).

Keep in mind that lots of the people who recommend against using VLC were burned by it back in the days when it didn't support styled subtitles or GPU processing. It wasn't that long ago that VLC was generations behind every single other media player on the planet, you know.

Eh, it works perfectly well for me.

I was watching Summer Wars, and Wabisuke owns a white FD3S:

Funnily enough his dub voice actor was Ryosuke.

G;ad to know that I was not the only one who spotted that.

I think the FD might be one of the last model FDs because when he's in it the steering wheel quite clearly shows the Mazda "bird" logo.

Sadly later on in the movie

SPOILER

when Wabisuke arrives back at the house after hearing his grandmother passed away he drives the car onto the lawn and it spins out and crashes into a boat that one of the other family members bought

Yeah, I was watching this last time I was in Tokyo, I had just turned it to the station and it was showing an interior shot with the steering wheel and all. I was like "Wait a sec, this interior looks awfully familiar" Yeah, it's most def. a S8 FD.

Lookie what I found in Bamboo Blade:

Old school GT-R. Dunno what kind but I recognize it. It seems like the creator loves cars, because there's the Wangan shoutout in the first episode and this as well.

EDIT: I think it's a Kenmeri Skyline.

LOL NO.

That's an RX-3. Without a doubt.

Well I'll be, it is...the shape reminded me of a Skyline though.

Persona 4 Ep. 9: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

I've been reading Zettai Karen Children, and in some chapters I spotted a few cars:

- One chapter has cop cars that look like 1st gen Honda Preludes
- In another, one of the girls is playing a racing game with cars that look like an S13 and an NSX
- Also, a Toyota HiAce seems to be used as a broadcasting van
- A VW New Beetle almost gets crushed by a falling Mitsubishi Fuso tanker truck

Also, no one spotted the Mazda Roadster in Negima's 1st chapter spread where everyone's rushing to school? Look closely in the center.

Ohh... cool list. I might have to look through some of those. I just recently have been reading the manga "Over Rev" that I found online on Mangafox about 2 hours ago. It's pretty cool and I can imagine myself in those scenes as I am basically a new driver myself.

I went ahead and merged this thread with the existing list of cars and motorcycles that have appeared in anime. This is actually a really interesting list! Which reminds me, can anyone identify the car featured in the third Space Brothers opening?

Oh no! It doesn't have music in the video anymore. Oh well, the song isn't that good anyway.

Corvette Stingray!

NO FREAKING WAY. This can't be! The original Stingrays from the 1960s were great looking cars. This just looks kinda nasty. Maybe its the color... But still! Nuhuh! Are you sure? This is the Stingray that I think you're talking about.

The side vents behind the front wheels on mine have 4 horizontal vents like in your anime while the Stingrays you posted have two ones that go longways. Plus the 68 here has a hardtop that can be removed in two pieces I believe.
