I am still looking for a new car. I like this car but has no Navigation system. BMW Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is a better value than the new car.

Not My Kind of Place

Feb

23

I went into a restaurant to eat breakfast … but it was a pool bar with live music stage … Interesting place, but since I do not drink, I don't usually visit this kind of place. It is amazing they were even open for breakfast.

PS: There were already few people drinking on Sunday morning.

Spring is not a good time to buy a car.

Feb

23

I learned something today.

Worst Time to Buy

These historic statistics show that springtime may not be the best time to buy a new car: More people are out and about as winter weather clears, and tax refund checks are warming consumers' pockets. With summer days ahead, more shoppers with a little extra cash in hand are looking for their next new car — which means dealers don't need to offer quite as many discounts to entice those eager shoppers to buy.

Facebook Page Like Campaign

Feb

21

We are running a campaign to increase the number of Likes to PSPINCJP Facebook page. I took over the Facebook in the 10th and mayumi started doing low budget (less than $100) advertisement of Facebook. When I took over, we had 169 Likes and as of now we have 305. I think this is a great accomplishment.

If you need to do something like what we are doing, please call us. We will be happy to share what we have been doing.

End of The Lease

Feb

15

My two year lease on Mercedes E350 Diesel will be up on March 2, 2015. I have no decided on the replacement. I cannot find any good deal. The car I leased just turn 12,000 miles. I may just buy out this car.

BTW, I went to couple of dealers ... they want to play the war sales game starting with what are you looking for in a car ... I hate those dealers. Why should I pay 35% more for AUDI A6 Diesel than my MB E350 Diesel. AUDI is a better car, they say ...

Everything is not a straight line ...

Feb

When I got back from Japan, the plane did fly around the Puget Sound to get in line with other planes. As much as I like to get the place as straight as possible, it's not always the way it works out. So long as I get there safe … I guess it's okay.

MA(N)chine

In Japan, there are restaurants that let customer choose what they want by machine before they enter the restaurant. I call it a food ticket vending machine but I don't know the real name . Does anyone know what this is called?

If you modernize it, it could be sold in the US. Yes, I know many would not like to see a machine replacing people, but that's the reality.

Tokyo is one of the biggest cities in the world with over 13 million people living. For that this city is extremely clean both street and air. Last night, I looked up and saw a moon. Today, I can clearly see Mt. Fuji from my hotel room. Amazing.

Game Changer!!!

At Family Mart (FAMIMA for short)
I don't know why they call this ESPRESSO unless it is Americana.

Where do you think you can get a best cup coffee in Japan?

- Starbucks and other coffee chain
- At Home
- Cafe
- Convenience Store

The answer is at the Convenience Store. For 100 Yen or $0.85, you can get fresh brewed great cup of coffee at places like Seven Eleven, Lawson, Family Mart ...
Until this coffee brewing machine was introduced by Seven Eleven in Japan. People used to buy canned coffee for 150yen. But since then all canned coffee are priced down to 100 yen.

This is truly a great cup of coffee. If you don't believe me, try it next time you are in Japan. Sorry, there is no Espresso.

Honda Hybrid SUV

I saw this car today ... It's like a Hybrid CRV. It is not available in the US.
I guess most of the Japanese card sold in the US are made in the US.
With this weaker Japanese Yen, more cars should be exported to the US from Japan.
