Here's a scene that may seem a bit strange if you don't know the automobile laws in Japan. This car is being sold at a used car dealership for zero yen. That's right around $0.00 USD. What's more, there have been no takers. It's a cheap little Nissan, but besides the big load of bird poo on the hood there's not a scratch on it. In Japan every two years, starting on a car's 3rd birthday, you need to pay a 130,000 yen inspection fee (Shakken). That's over $1000. Probably, this car is not worth $1000 and the inspection is coming up soon. My Canadian friend mentioned to me today that he knows of a shipping company that will ship a car to Canada for $1000. That's great, but one way or the other you're paying $1000 for a free car.

Interesting bit of trivia for you, the Japanese word for "bird poo" is "fun." No joke. The pronunciation rhymes with 'spoon' however.
