1.) Kid's trying to cop bosozoku/shakotan style with those pipes. Not much else is bosozoku about the car though.
2.) I don't get what's up with obsession with the rising sun flag. It's not even popular/mainstream in Japan (only right-wingers, Imperialists, and dudes stuck in WWII like that ish; some bosozoku might fly it for shock value although Imperial Chrysanthemum's are more common); it's the equivalent of flying a swastika (or arguably a Balkenkreuz or Iron Cross) because you like German stuff

wow, I did NOT know that... Though the iron cross has little to do with ***** and more to do with imperial germany (People just associate the iron cross with ***** because they havent studied Germany before WWII). Thats pretty interesting to know, thanks for the knowledge!
The Rising Sun symbol can actually be quite offensive to some people.
BTW, I associated the Iron Cross with the Balkenkreuz of the Wehrmacht and therefore the **** party. Is that an incorrect or overly tenuous association? Thanks.

Dude, you just pulled off a perfect Alice Cooper!
Wayne Campbell: So, do you come to Milwaukee often?
Alice Cooper: Well, I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers began visiting here in the late 16th century.
Pete: Hey, isn't "Milwaukee" an Indian name?
Alice Cooper: Yes, Pete, it is. In fact , it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."
Wayne Campbell: I was not aware of that.

some people associate the iron cross with different things, some people think it's bad, others don't... If you ask any historian or anyone who has studied Germany (prior to S*itler) they will tell you that it is everything but a symbol of offense. Stupid ****'s ruined soooooo much for everyone.
