Re: Is there such a thing as a " Japanese Jeep" ?
I don't know that. I read an article on the Jeeps a few years ago, and I
see them all the time on the news. I doubt you could import them. Here is
a link that claims the following
http://www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/World/Colombia.html
"The name "******" was alive and in production at least into 1999. Willco
("****** Colombia") has been producing several Jeep models in South America
under licence, including a CJ-3B-type body on both short and long
wheelbases."
Here is another cool link. If you don't read Spanish the pictures are at
least interesting. In one of my classes they made the claim that Colombians
are happier than people in the United States, despite their country's
well-known problems. One reason could be the greater availability of CJ3Bs
and unpaved roads.

Re: Is there such a thing as a " Japanese Jeep" ?
Altho maybe biased, I'd prefer coloured "funny-money" since it's blatantly
easy to tell the bills apart especially in the dark. I work in a
1100-capacity nightclub and we do about 4-5 transactions per minute in very
dark conditions and the few times we've received US currency, it's annoying
to have to actually LOOK at the bill to figure out what you've got. I notice
that a lot of Americans that come up and come to the bar laugh at our money
at first but after a few experiences they start to admit that it's easier to
distinguish our bills from theirs. I've heard a lot of stories (admittedly,
mostly Canadians but one or two Americans as well) who got burned at a
cashier by giving the wrong US bill. That doesn't happen up here very often.

Re: Is there such a thing as a " Japanese Jeep" ?
The Homeland Security Agent asked me why the Jeep wasn't dirty if I was
off-road camping. After I told him washed the car with lake water when
arriving at my camping spot and that I stopped at the coin car wash before
crossing the border to use up the last of my Canadian money he asked how I
'planned to get home without any money'.
He was unimpressed when I told him I had a full tank of Petro-Canada
gasoline, some US currency, a debit card and a credit card.
PS I still have 36 cents Canadian currency.
