Soshinoya?????

Unknownsoldier · 28th March 2008, 11:43

Hi,

I've seen Soshinoya on a few JDM motors and wondered if anyone can enlighten me, can fnd loads of places selling them as new drivers badges, but nothing else.

ATB,
Tom

It's a 'I drive a Japanese car, so I'm going to put Japanese stickers on it' by the looks?

Authentic JDM Soshinoya Wakaba Badges (Beginner Driver)
n Japan, any driver who obtains drivers license within 1 year must show this badge/emblem on their vehicles. It's called "Shosinn-sha-emblem" in Japanese. Shosinn-sha means " Beginner or Starter" Another driver must give their ways even on the busy traffic.

Made in Japan. Very rigid and Durable Quality

Must have for the true JDM enthusiasts.

Reflects in the dark for night driving.

However, this link may be more of interest (BEWARE NSFW - Language issue - swearing)

Ahah, like the "2 star badge", just JDM Junk, I thought it was something truly 'Japanese' (I'm Trying to find some odd bits for my car, this is jsut dumb though

).

And definately NSFW - JDM Driving Badges (Soshinoya / Koleshiya) | Import Factor

and no, I haven't read the 95 page forum link which it refers to

I particularly liked one quote on there from someone 'justifying' why they had one:

"...i want people to see that badge and know to not drive near me. Its like an invisibility shield...."
Which would be handy - if anyone else outside of Japan actually knew what it meant

Unknownsoldier · 28th March 2008, 12:08

I agree, I've seen it on like 2 cars, and not had a clue what it meant.

i have not read it at all but came across this comment at the bottom :

"man i got two words for you SCREW YOU! i want people to see that badge and know to not drive near me. Its like an invisibility shield and the simple fact that its JDM! gives it an extra +. The japanese know what they are doing thats why JDM is soooooo cool!! those badges ROCK….a**hole"

i hope hes not for real..............

sorry TT found it already but still FUNNY

Remarkably funny there are people like this out there, I don't mind the odd badge or whatever, but at least admit, you just like it and wanted a badge, not that others know not to get near you. Like the amount of M sport badges around, people stick them on anything not having a clue what they actually mean, if youcar was a JDM import fully JDM'd then fair enough but for as is said a car with US plate on a car not sold in Japan it looks a bit silly.

we could be onto a winner here though
sell them as invisibilty shields ?
well im definitely getting one so people know to stay away from me

TTDegs · 28th March 2008, 13:48

thinking about it...

wouldn't having an invisibilty shield make it more likely that people would hit you?

although I guess he could have meant to say 'invisible' or 'invincibility'
