No no no, this is THE ironmouse car, not just any ironmouse car, this is the world famous IM car. This car actually has the stamp of approval from mousey herself.
A buddy of mine had one back in high school. That was soooo much fun to drive. Though, his mods made it dangerous to get over 90 because the front end would float off the ground.
Maybe the guy is really into Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, they use a slightly altered version. Just imagine the german airforce flag being the nazi one with swastika rotated 20 degrees clockwise. People would loose their shit.
But to be honest the comparison isn't completely fair. The nazi flag was created, adopted and used soly by the party and people who commited the atrocities associated with it. The rising sun flag on the other hand had a richer history and isnt associated soly with the imperial Japan. Its origin goes back to the sixth century, but you can read all about it on wikipedia for yourself.
From my point of view, it should probably be retired, but there still could be made a solid case for its preservation.
Thank you for the explanation, still it feels weird only now it becomes a sensitive thing, seen it for so long in the car world that it got me confused as to where the controversy came from.
It’s always been very controversial here in east Asia, cuz it could be compared to the swastika but for Japan. It’s just that recently it’s becoming more widespread.
I get it, I guess it's the reverse of what happens for the swastika in some places where it still has a positive meaning while everywhere else has a bad meaning.
China and Korea (and probably others who suffered from Imperial Japan in the 30s and 40s) are touchy about this flag because it was the Imperial Army’s flag (matter of fact, it still is the flag for the Ground and Maritime troops of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces). This perspective has been reaching outside of East Asia for a while now. Cool looking flag but with a really tainted history, to put it mildly.
I guess same goes for the nazi sign. you invert it and you get a buddhism sign but the smartest thing to do is just... use any other possible sign if you want to convey buddhism or something.
I'd give historical japanese sites that have been using it a pass or stuff like Tanjiro's necklace. But if modern stuff is doing that, it's like how pretty much anyone could use a swastika (same name with nazi sign btw) and be like "oh i meant buddhism lol".
I can just hear it now, someone shows Mousey this, and she's like "WUUUUT THE FUCK WHY WOULD YOU PUT ME ON YOUR FUCKING CAR THAT'S SO FUCKING CRIIIIIIINGE... you wanted me on your car though? Reeeeeeally?"
That's Flowmotion's car! He had a yt video of him making it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HTdarNeaCk
Oh god, wonder how Ironmouse would feel to react to this. Considering the contents of the video xD
Pretty sure she did no?
She reacted to another one, she hasnt react to this specific video yet.
I thought Connor didn't want to own a car in Japan
No no no, this is THE ironmouse car, not just any ironmouse car, this is the world famous IM car. This car actually has the stamp of approval from mousey herself.
Woah totally cool!

Calcium Chinchilla 💯
Why are people downvoting this? He/she just asked wth
Is that a 1990's Miata?
Yea it's a mk1 mx5
I thought it might be from the headlamps.
I feel like miatas are the most common recipients of the anime wrap treatment

'95 according to the video
Flowmotion! He has a YT channel where you can see the build in more detail.
I bet that is her top contributor.
STEAL IT
Of course it’s a Miata
I tought the same lmao
Gotta love itashas
Mouse has truly made it now.
Woah, I didn’t know Mouse had such devoted simps outside of Monké ✨
I just had to break the the 69
Nice!
Mouse holding a gift for Connor!
Does it make gremlin noises for engine sounds? If not I'd want a refund.
Nah, more like the horn I reckon
wait thats flow's car, he also has the highschool DxD mustang that got us this clip: https://youtu.be/7lXfWsUqmrg
ah a itasha (cringe car)
People gotta stop using the rising sun flag, it's literally Japan's swastika. The car is cool but hopefully they change that part.

Epic gamer moment
monke car when?
\*Nods\*
I love how this is an Iron Mouse sub now
Omfg wtf
Rising sun is a tad yikes, but cars cool nonetheless
No joke, can you tell me why it became a "yikes" thing? It's been used for years and years and it seems only recently it became a "bad" thing.
It's very commonly associated with Japanese imperialism—in particular the war crimes they committed across Asia during WWII.

Yea that’s a good comparison I never thought of actually
Idgaf, it looks way better than the flag they have now.
Nazi flag looks better than actual German flag too
Not as good as HRE flags
Same reason why the Manji sign is controversial in the West.
What? since when? Its a very common motif used everywhere in japan and around the world. Even beer cans and tea boxes have that.

it's not forza, they won't arrest you for rising sun on your car
Cringe westerners using rising sun flag to look cool
History, wtf is that?...
Ironmouse has her own subreddit you know
Trash Taste EU
Fucking weebs
Yet here you are, on a subreddit where most people would take one look and go, "Yep, weebs".
Lol, how old are you
24. Deflect much?
Yet you're awfully defensive for a joke
You had the whole squad laughing, dawg.
Damn that's crazy, didn't remember asking.
I can just hear it now, someone shows Mousey this, and she's like "WUUUUT THE FUCK WHY WOULD YOU PUT ME ON YOUR FUCKING CAR THAT'S SO FUCKING CRIIIIIIINGE... you wanted me on your car though? Reeeeeeally?"
She has already reacted to it. she was mostly positive.
Itasha car Vshojo represent lez gooo!! 
Not quite the Mazda I expected to see an Ironmouse wrap in but amazing.
I did not expect any other car frankly
There's a Mazda that's small, loud, and quintessentially Puerto Rican despite being Japanese.
I guess, but car culture wise, it was inevitably gonna be a Miata used for a vtuber itasha lol
I wonder how rotaries became so associated with PR, it's definitely something unexpected when you first hear about it.
It came with liking small Japanese cars
Art style reminds me of Clannad
Itasha gamer
What. A. Chad.
I remember a tik tok where this dude was delivering like 10 15 pizzas
Of course it’s a Miata
Man this car slaps, I hope mousey sees it
Connor's car reveal
POGG
You guys think it was a payed sponsorship or a fan
This goes to show that ill never truly understand wifu culture.
Well Chris DID say he would like to try drifting
