CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT MY TOKYO AUTO SALON PICTURE THREAD

Since a couple of years ago, I have always wanted to attend the Tokyo Auto Salon. However, my schedule would never allow, due to school and such. Well, last year I graduated from college and landed a good job. I was able to take 7 days off from work and head to Tokyo with a couple friends, some who are also members on this board. It was an awesome trip!! Japan is amazing, and they are so much more advanced than the US. Their phones are just CRAZY!! The place is so clean, the food is so good, and the people are so nice/polite. I can't wait to go back again next year!! Anyways, onto the pictures.. ENJOY!!
