Arbitrary List of Anime

A series about Japanese street racing. At the time, I would hang out and play Gran Tourismo with friends. I drove a humble little 4-door 1984 Honda Civic Sedan. Watching Initial D made me dream about what it might be like to drive a sports car and taught me about some of the techniques and skills needed to become a master driver.
