Got 9 Hours To Burn? (Warning: Maybe NSFW)
So, do you suffer from the pain of being independently wealthy, unemployed, retired, or just generally unoccupied and have nine whole hours to burn? Well, you could do something productive with it and maybe learn a new language (Farsi is awesome), design a better mousetrap, practice your synchronized swimming, or you could sit your butt down and watch this video of the 2015 Nismo Festival from this past weekend!
In case you've never heard of it, the Nismo Festival is an annual event where Nissan rents out Fuji Speedway in Japan, trots out its famous race personnel both young and old, wheels out their legendary race cars from classic ones to current, and invites the public for a day-long celebration of speed, automotive obsession, and more than a full recommended daily dosage of pure, freshly-squeezed, weaponized awesome. I dream of one day going but for those Nissan fans like us who couldn't be there this video is the next best thing.
Now, I admit it doesn't have the best video quality. The stream pixelates so much at times that an amateur webcam pornographer would feel ashamed, and of course it's all in Japanese - well, except for some tiny parts where Nismo's non-Japanese staff talk in English - BUT WHO CARES when you can watch and listen to crazycool shit like the sexy R390 GT1 race car, the insane R30 silhouette racers, or more Nissan Group C cars and GT-R racers than you can shake a camshaft at? I didn't have nine hours to burn myself but even jumping around the video and watching snippets I had to stop after a while because, well...
Anyway, it's a cool video. Watch it...but just do it in private. Now pardon me while I go take a cold shower...
P.S. Dear Nissan, you need to bring the Nismo Note here to the US stat. Seeing it at the start of this video made me want it more. I will buy one. And mod it until it's slightly less slow but hugely more fun than should be legal in such a small spitball of a car. I'll race my friend's wife's 500 Abarth with it. Please. I'll give you this bag of lemon drops I found in my pantry as an incentive. Pretty please?
