Under the lanes of Japanese cherry blossoms we have this tastefully modified 2009 Silver Mazda Axela owned by Daisuke Ozaki from Japan.

Las Vegas RX7

The city of sin, Las Vegas, Nevada brings you this gorgeous 1993 Daytona Blue Candy RX7 FD owned by Nick Irie. However, it wasn’t always so gorgeous.
