In a busy scenario, Sam has his life in a kind of uncertain state: he his living with his girlfriend but he does not have a job. Bumblebee is working with human military, so when his parents arrive, he goes to his garage and a 510 shows up: (at this point I was drooling over the screen)
Funnily enough, his mother mistakes his car with Bumblebee: it's also yellow with black stripes.
However, throughout the film, they refer to the car as a piece of crap, and jokingly as a "collector's piece".
Why does the USA in general have so little love for the 510? Is it because they have so many of them in there? I'd really like to have one.
The film actually gave me some styling ideas, like the Datsun sticker in the front of the car (I'd move it to the side rather than have it at the center). The wheels are Watanabe-style at the back, and I don't know the name of the ones in the front, but I've seen some 510's with them on:
I would keep the same wheels at the front or back. Particularly, the Watanabes, which look great in most Japanese retro rides.
A similar one I've really liked is this one:
It is the perfect ride, since it has a capable engine (SR20DE), 4 doors, 4 seats, roll cage and racing harnesses.
In the meanwhile I've thought of buying a Datsun Sunny/1200 or a Toyota Corolla KE20 in about one or two years, but I'll leave that to other posts.
I know I've said something about the USA showing no love for the 510, but I've seen American people with some of the sweetest Japanese retro rides ever. Don't get me wrong: even though the general opinion is not to like them, the car culture is everywhere in the world.
I hope you all enjoy your rides!
