I think we have mid June through the first week of July planned. My relatives live in southeast Asia, and they too have been wanting to go to Japan. They do mod with their rides heavily there, so that'll be fun to see.

While you are there, check out the prices.
A 2008 with 30,000 miles is fetching around $50,000.
The new ISF cars are extremely precious an in the 6 digit price range (US). The Japanese execs tell me that they are out of reach.

Same here, those things sound amazing but I can't justify spending that much for them.
