Welcome to the Family!
"Holy number nines, Smoke! It hasn't been a full day and yet you've updated AGAIN?"
Ah yeah gotta catch up with the timeline  Anyway let's jump into the update as I establish my stay with......well would you look at it by yourself!  [Yes it's still 23 Dec 2018] After some hours of driving and surviving occasional traffic jams over the Shutokou, finally I arrived at the coastal rads of west Tokyo. As I've mentioned before, Muza (Niatross) and his crew's garage is located on a marina around here, which is seemingly a part of a suburban housing complex. When I arrived at the complex it was close to sunset hours, I'd say around 7pm. The cool sea breeze caressed my cheeks (instead of slapping them, thankfully) and the view is quite peaceful, creating a good first improession to my eyes. With this kind of refreshing view, no wonder Muza and co. can build a lot of inspirational builds.
 A few turns later, I arrived a the front of the garage. It's quite huge, and it has a huge front yard complex as well. If it's located in my (as well as Rifky(Shez)'s) home soil you can play either football/soccer or badminton around here. But obviously, this is the red carpet for Muza and co.'s builds. Here we can see some of their daily rides: There's Rifky's DC5 that recently has been shipped from the albion lands of UK, Muza's brand-new(ish) M3 E46 on Advan RGIIs, and inside the garage there's Marc(Macaron_moon)'s Evo X, currently with lip removed waiting for it's big, big bro to come. I don't know why, but there's nobody around so far.........
 I don't want to clog the road access should somebody else come to the garage after me, so I quickly parked my Evo behind Shez's DC5. While figuring out where's everybody and contacting Mmuza to confirm my presence, I took some pictures of my Evo and the DC5. Here we can also see AJ(RocketBunnyS13)'s brand-new S2000, the first RWD Honda he owned so far as well one of his favourites. I really dig that clean colours (and yes I do aware nothing has been done to it so far).
  Whilst taking pictures and admiring Rifky's DC5 and AJ's S2K, I heard some light footsteps. I quickly turned around and catch a glimpse of someone holding a huge wrench approaching me.
"YOU CAME TO THE WRONG GARAGE FOOL!" I was shocked and tried to run to my Evo, before realizing what's going on. "Nonono-Oi oi Muza! It's me, Big Smoke-I mean Edo, man, chill!" "Ooooooh finally you've come! Haha yeah gimme a hug mate!" he said as he gave me a calming hug. Damn I swear his holler scared the number 6s out of me. Then he called the rest of the crew: "Come on boys, show up, the Smoke has arrived!" Rifky, AJ and Marc came out from the garage, and we shared brofists and brohugs. Then Muza told me to bring my Evo inside to be parked beside Marc's Evo X. Yep, time to start the reunion! By the way, parking inside the garage is quite a faff as I had to do another multi-million turn to get it right. Worse still, there are a lot of objects than can ruin (a)my car or (b)the garage. And of course I want to set a good impression on them. Thankfully though the torture isn't as long and severe as I thought.  Inside, I got off my car and unpacked my stuff as Muza escorts me to the room I'll be staying in until the end of 1st week of 2019. Once all my stuff has been unpacked, we returned to the garage to have some chatter about my trip and my life in Japan so far, as well as of course my Evo and what did I do to it. The boys are also planning what to do for the rest of the year, as well as what should we get for the start of the year. All while we're enjoying cups of hot tea and some more cups of instant ramen.
13-14 years is not a short time to evolve and improving your products, and here we can see a good demonstration of it: There are a lot of things that can be mentioned to distinguish my Evo 3 and Marc's Evo X. But some things remained the same: They're AWD, they're powered by turbo I4 engine and they're made for rallying. Both cars are also a good timeline indicator of car styling: My Evo 3 is dominated by round, compact shapes but also features aggresive styling up front and has rubbers on the doors, as well as one of the cars using rather huge chin lips at the 90s. Marc's Evo X went even more aggressive on the style substance, but also being bulkier to add head and legroom. I'm sure there are more than just that, but so far that's what I can think of. 
 If you're following Muza's and AJ's RPs, I'm sure that you'll know that both of them has a lot of cars,e.g. Muza's Supra A70, AJ's S15 and CRX, as well as an S14 shared by both. If you're wondering where are them here, the answer is they have a huge storage room on the backside of their garage where they save them. Soon Rifky's AE86 will be shipped from UK and continuing its restoration progress here aswell in the storage room.
 After a very lengthy talk through the night, we all taking rests and finally I have my first night at Tokyo. Can't wait to live my life with the boys, even if it's only for a while. [24 Dec 2018] Paycheck time! Another V$565 landed in my account to ensure my survival in Tokyo. But since I'm in Tokyo, I might plan to buy some stuff for my Evo. Or should I? AAAAAH FINALLY I'M ARRIVED AT WEST TOKYOOOOOO Let's check out my finance directly since it's only affected by one item: Initial V$ = V$ 8,811
Paycheck = v$ 565 V$ at the moment = 8,811 + 565 = V$ 9,376 That's all my updates for now, thank you for stopping by and see you soon!
