Yujo Kabayama, 50, from Hyogo Prefecture, has loved American cars since he saw "Trans Am 7000" starring actor Burt Reynolds on TV as a child. Although he had once settled down, he was influenced by the car action drama "Knight Rider," which was re-aired on TV, and was attracted to American cars once again. He had considered the Pontiac "Firebird Trans Am" as a candidate for his favorite car, but as he researched, he fell in love with the style of the Chevrolet C3 "Corvette" and purchased it. I am enjoying a fulfilling car life as a C3 Corvette rider with outstanding looks.
