What is JDM car culture and what makes it unique?

JDM culture celebrates Japanese domestic market vehicles built for Japan's spirited driving roads and touge mountain passes. It emphasizes modification culture (tuning, visual customization), respect for engineering precision, and community knowledge-sharing. The aesthetic draws from Japanese motorsport, anime, and street racing scenes. Events like Super GT, time attack series, and local touge runs remain central to the culture. American JDM culture mirrors this while adding import car show traditions.
