A (Not So) Quick Visit to RentJDM in Las Vegas (with video)
If you're at all familiar with Sin City then you know that it thrives on offering people the chance to live vicariously and have a blast doing stuff they wouldn't normally get to do. To cater to visitors looking to live it large Vegas lets you rent out pretty much anything fun you can think of - from posh hotel rooms, to fully-automatic firearms, to intimate companionship, and of course, exotic vehicles you only normally get to see on Jay Leno's Garage.
The exotics you can rent in Vegas though are usually high-end supercars like Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and McLarens. But what if you're an import car geek who only thinks of Ferraris as things for modified Supras to embarrass?
That's where RentJDM comes in. They offer the chance to rent the JDM exotica of your dreams - anything from cutesy little kei cars all the way to an honest-to-goodness Motorex R34 Skyline!
Even if you can't swing a rental or a ride-along though it's worth visiting RentJDM when you're in Vegas because their office is set up like a Japanese car nerd's wet dream with a main hall showing off all the various cars available for rent and car-related merchandise for sale, but also a mini arcade with racing games like Initial D and even a Reflec Beat rhythm game cabinet straight from Japan. The Japanese-themed murals and vending machines containing snacks from the Land of The Rising Sun further heighten the atmosphere.
Note that I didn't get any sort of promotional consideration or financial incentive to promote RentJDM. I paid for my ride-along in the Hako just like any other customer so when I say it's a great place that's worth checking out, I mean it!
Since I just got back I haven't had time to prepare much yet but I'll be posting a lot more stuff on RentJDM in the future after I finish my ongoing Show or Display import guide - in the meantime here's a quick video as a taste of what it was like there:
