Welcome to a special episode of "Readers' Rides," where we dive into the underappreciated world of Japan's automotive legacy. Today, we're showcasing a unique collection that pays homage to the everyday heroes of the road - the mundane, the overlooked, and the surprisingly resilient vehicles that have been quietly powering lives for over 25 years. After the iconic models like the Skyline GT-R have found their homes, what's left for the enthusiast with a keen eye for the uncelebrated? That's what we're here to explore.
In this episode, our viewers have sent in pictures of their cherished rides - the cars that Japan had left to offer the United States after the collector's items had been snapped up. From the humble family sedans to the workhorse wagons and unassuming hatchbacks, these are the vehicles that have stood the test of time, often unnoticed, but always reliable.
So, buckle up and join us on this journey of appreciation for the cars that have been silently contributing to our daily lives. Whether you're a die-hard automotive enthusiast or just someone who appreciates the simpler things in life, there's something in this episode for everyone. Let's give these unsung heroes of the road the spotlight they deserve.
Remember to like, share, and subscribe for more content like this. And if you have a "mundane" hero of your own you'd like to share, drop us a comment below - we'd love to feature it in a future episode. Let the celebration of the everyday extraordinary begin!

I’d like to thank Netgear for selling me his Baja, it’s a blast to drive (even as an automatic) and 4k was a steal! I’d love to do business with you again sometime.

What’s up guys - I’m the 3000GT owner @vr4oom - car has been sitting at the shop since I dropped it off. The machine shop just finished the block, heads are done. Hoping the rebuild is complete over the next week or two. Doing a lot of other work to the car as well. No posts on the gram because I don’t have the car back yet. Still alive!

how insane would it be to swap a not terrible engine into it?

@@michaelgmail5968 people have swapped, it’s doable. That said, I think the whole reason to own a VR4 is the fact Mitsubishi threw every available technology it had at the time into this car. I want to retain all of the features, etc. The engine is a 3.0L V6 transversely mounted. Insane. Why? Because they had to make it fit with all of the other vacuum lines etc. The car itself is a tale of flying too close to the sun and I love it for that. I want to keep that intact, reliability be damned. V6 twin turbo, AWD, all wheel steering, electronically controlled suspension, multi mode exhaust, active aero. All of this is insane individually for the early 90s, let alone one car having all of these features. I want to show it all off working when it does.

Love the new discord plug. Throwback for sure.
In Wisconsin I've had to replace all 4 of my wheel bearings on my Altima within 12 years. They weren't catastrophic but they were humming. You'll get used to it unless you know what to listen for.
After seeing that green Outback Sport at the end, which I have two of (one was turned into my rally car and the other is the SOONEST of soon cars), I really need to send a proper "viewer rides" email.

Watching this just after it was posted. Good content.
I think I've seen that bluebird at that very same Mitre 10 Mega
it blew my mind when you said y’all don’t replace wheel bearings. i work at a tire warehouse in Maine and almost everyday one of the cars i shake down needs at least one new one
Id like to thank CollectorNetFeed for selling me his Scion Baja. For $37,000 it was a steal!
That's insane. You never had to replace a wheelbearing. Up here in the Midwest: It's not something you have to do all the time, but it's not uncommon. Also, keep up the videos, guys. I enjoy them

Definitely a rust belt thing, living in the southwest with over a dozen cars over the past 20 years, some of them quite old, I've done ONE wheel bearing.

People spinning tires in the snow because their too lazy to shovel prematurely wears out components. Bearings die when their overheated. I'm sure salt and high mileage is a factor too.

As much as you can normally fit an LS into anything, that might be pushing it. Kei cars really are that small. You could (probably) K swap them though, or if you're particularly crazy, somehow locate a Ducati V4 that's been separated from its two-wheeled home for whatever reason and give it a new one with four wheels.
