Humanizing machineries, emphasizing (or exaggerating) the “bond” between owners and machines…it’s like relationship between a police officer and the partner K9, loyalty and unparalleled familiarity toward each other, but between drivers and machines.

I have been driving Z for like 4 years now. I am a crazy guy, yes, not normal, psycho. I want a monster machine built by me, the unique car only belong to me, and it must be fast. I like to race on street, but what more important is to race with myself. I want the top speed, like WANGAN, I can do 160 cruise now but I want to hit 300. Right now I believe it is a very high standard NA 370, but I need more power. I have been putting a lot of dollars on her but I don’t feel it is enough. I really get addicted with her. For the haters who don’t have a better car, or driving experience like me just saying bad or “he gonna crash” they really don’t understand. If that really happens after, that’s ok, I accept the fate, and I will just rebuild her if I don’t die. Here is the thing, my car gonna be one of the best, fastest Z in the world, and I am the driver. For the guys who has a single exhaust shooting fire with NA, I don’t care what they think. They are just lower level how could they understand me? At least I don’t shot fire and I have a cat back exhaust with muffler, my neighbor don’t smash my window to warn I’m too loud.

I was asking because Akio here has previously mentioned Wangan Midnight as his inspiration, and I find it quite interesting, because Wangan Midnight is one of the worst car-animes out there. It's predictable, has a stupid plot, stupid story and even stupider deus-ex-machina solutions when there's a problem. In comparison, Initial D is one incredibly well made anime that also tells a similar story - connection of driver with his machine - but it's completely realistic, it sets realistic boundaries and it tells a good story, still interesting if you're above the age of 12.
