ehhh….really?
This is from Bulletproof’s coverage of TAS, Stagea/Hakosuka kinda thing. Do I want to try to like this? I see that grill and instinct says yes but then I get to the firewall and man, I don’t know. I guess it’s kinda neat in a I wouldn’t want to actually own it kind of way, but then it’s kinda wrong in a WTF WHY kind of way. It just looks so…confused. This might be the most love it or hate it car I’ve ever seen.
A Different Kind of Hakosuka
Is it still proper to refer to the 4 doors as Hakosukas? I might be breaking protocol there, not sure. Anyway I found this one interesting because you never see them with large diameter modern wheels. It’s not my favorite look for them of course, but it just goes to show there really isn’t anything you can do to one to make it look bad.

Make a Difference
There’s a girl near and dear to my heart named Melissa. She’s one of those rare people who feels the injustices of the world to her core and fights everyday to right them. She lights up any room she’s in, she’s smart, funny, tenacious, and has the most beautiful blue eyes you’ve ever seen. Last month she was diagnosed with cancer in one of her lower vertebrae, the tumor is pushing on her spinal column and generally making her life miserable. When her insurance company got wind of her diagnosis they straight dumped her and she is now uninsurable because it is a pre-existing condition. She is a single mother of two grade school aged kids and has no family to lean on. As you can imagine her medical bills are quickly becoming outrageous. To help her from now on I will be selling some stickers I came up with here on Hatch Life. I’ve already done an initial run of 50, they were professionally printed by Next Day Signs here in Columbus on 3mil outdoor calendared vinyl and are 4 inches by 4 inches. They will be $5 each shipped or 2 for $9 shipped in the US. 100% of the money -NOT JUST THE PROFITS- will go to Melissa’s medical bills, the production and mailing cost are out of my pocket.
For right now there are three designs to choose from as shown below, they are red and diecut so what is black in the sample images will be red and where there is white there will be no material when applied. If this takes off I’ll be adding more chassis and engine codes and other colors.
They are of course inspired by the classic Hakosuka Heart Skyline stickers.
I threw one on the red car so you can get a feel for them.
I’ve checked around at the usual shocker sticker places and as far as I can tell no one else offers anything quite like these and I pray to God no one knocks them off, I’m not promoting my lame blog or trying to cash in on some “JDM” trend, I’m trying to help give someone the miracle she needs and deserves. Part of me thinks this won’t make a dent, but all of me thinks I can not just do nothing. Any word of mouth advertising you can help me out with would be appreciated more than you know. If you are interested in helping a good cause or just want a new sticker to rock send all inquiries to the address below, Paypal, money orders, and checks are all good. Thank you
