what about a pm?

 

i have a tattoo... but i'm not korean =P

 

anyone goto those celebrations that happened this past week? it was like fireworks every night in seoul... what was all that about?

 

It was Cusok(spelling?) Its a big holiday for koreans, It was equivilent to 4th of july for US, I think.

 

It probably was (and ^^^ meant) Chusok (pronounced choo-suk), Korean Thanksgiving.

 

I'm studying abroad next year in Korea.
And I believe I'll be taking my 370z with me.(when it comes out)
Can anyone of you guys help this little gook out and tell me how I'd have to do it?
I heard it costs a **** load to ship and it takes like months too...

 

yeah, it was cho-suk that they were celebrating. Its like Thanksgiving in US.

 

^yeah, thanksgiving... it was hella crowded everywhere.

anything else going down this weekend? i have 4 days off so i'm trying to do SOMETHING interesting. in the near future i'm thinking about setting up a trip to tigerworld for some skiing/snowboarding... anyone interested?

i'm planning on doing it in November.

 

WAY OFF TOP!!!! i was wondering if one of the korean people could post mc mong's gf's picture up? i heard it was randomly floating around the internet and i was curious(some reason I couldnt find it...) ty...

 

^oh and it better be a HOT photo.

 

11/12 Oct there is going to be a air show at Osan Airbase, from 0900 to 1700.
Also the USO is having a trip to go bungee jumping on the 11th.

 

^i might go on the 12th but on the 11th there is the Fall Festival going on in Yongsan. NANTA will be playing along with cheerleaders and other hot chicks... i'll make sure to take pictures and post them up.

 

crown, dont even bother taking the car to korea. transportation alone is going to run in excess of $5K (probably more like 10K now), and thats before registration and taxes... if its a used car, you will have a lower tax assesment, but im not too familiar with the actual rate.

 

Anyone loving the korean to US dollar rate? Pulled out 50000 won from the ATM and I was charged only $36. Hell yeah

 

Son, you shouldn't. shipping cost is not a big deal(it's only $2000), import tax is the problem unless you are US military personnel. Say 35% of your vehicle cost... Brand new 350z costs $50K in Korea because of this import tax. Back in 2005, when I brought my 2003 350z to South Korea, the total came out to $43K. I paid $8000 for the import tax. Simply put, all import vehicles in Korea is about the double the cost in US.

 

What? there was a car show? Dang!

There's so much disconnectedness between car enthusiasts among GIs and Korean car enthusiast community... This **** goes down every week... Check them out:

^dang... you gotta take us to these man! i'm hella down to see these exotics!

 

leeboy that is some pretty sick stuff.

I know that this stuff goes down every week, but the problem is I CANT FIND WHERE!!!.

I know how to get to anyplace here in Korea but I dont know where they usally hangout/race. Ive been told that it is usally around Apgujeong and ive been there so many times and all you see are nothing but nice cars.

So do you think you can let the secrete out, where are these places?

Oh btw if your car was at the car show, lamo there would of been no doubt that you would of won.

 

haha, the only car that really interested me was the STI... but i wasn't there long enough to see if any other ones came by.

 

It's held somewhere near Inchon International airport. It's about an hour away from Seoul. There's no way such race can be held anywhere near Seoul... Seoul is just too densely populated...

The main organizer for this race is www.babodream.co.kr Try to sign up as they provide english version of the website. Once you sign up you can view the message board and find out when and where they are meeting up for a race. Some of them meet up at Apgujeong before taking off to the airport.
Also, as the weather gets cold, you won't see many super cars... They tend to come out only when all the conditions are perfect...

Try to find someone who's proficient at Korean and has a car.
Unfortunately, something came up in my life that requires undivided attention... So, I won't be able to attend such events until next year...
