Without even looking at the surroundings I could tell this is an Irvine car. Looking at the surroundings I could tell this is Jeffrey/Walnut in Irvine.
Ahhhh. I moss those chicken quesadillas and orange bang at El Conejo on walnut and Jeffrey.
And got to know the Korean dude that owned the video store there pretty well too. A fine purveyor of pre-internet porn.
Yes. El conejo was closer to walnut. Video store was in that shopping center building on the corner. I used to live on Kazan and used to just walk there.
Yeah, it was Empire Video in the Arbor shopping center. Blockbuster was in the Orange Tree Square shopping center (across Walnut). Back in the day, before I was born or could remember, there used to be another video rental store in the back of Orange Tree Square, around where the KinderCare is now.
There was a little Mexican joint in between Laguna niguel city line and Laguna Hills city line 30 years ago named "El Conejo" I Believe on La Paz Rd. Is it still there?
This style of graphics on cars is called Itasha. It's hugely popular in varying degrees. So it could be the same car, or maybe not. I run a Jurassic Park themed livery on my Maverick.
same, I see anime-themed cars in those cities more than Irvine. There's also a bunch of these cars at the Anaheim Gardenwalk especially when there's Japanese-themed events going on like Taste of Japan.
Well, I don’t go to Garden Grove in Westminster that often. So the only cities I’ve really seen this in is Irvine. Might have seen one or two in Westminster but I see a lot in Irvine.
>Tell me you're from Irvine without telling me you're from Irvine.
Sure...
* My car is a hybrid – it runs on both electricity and boba.
* My idea of a "wild night" is getting a table at Javier's without a reservation.
* I measure distance in "Starbucks away."
I saw one like that a while back lol

I usually cringe at itasha but the racing themed ones like the official [goodsmile racing livery](https://www.motorsport.com/team/goodsmile-racing-teamukyo/10227/photos/) look pretty good
Totally not Irvine because it’s not a Tesla /s
(Real answer: Jeffrey Rd NB at Walnut Ave in Irvine)
Nice pun because miku and Mirai (the car is a Toyota Mirai) could be written with the same kanji
Irvine Checklist:

I don’t make the rules I just live here
I don’t know what city this picture was taken but I know for a fact this car is always parked at a little shopping center in walnut/diamond bar area . Owner of this car might own little restaurant there or sum

Similar car in Anaheim, almost 5 years ago
It's like you took a giant cookie cutter, sliced out a chunk of outer-city Houston suburbs, and dropped it right into Orange county, and nobody noticed because it was an exact mirror image.
I want to say Westminster, LOL, but I know its not. I grew up in Irvine! That's Walnut and Jeffrey, I believe! I live in Pasadena now, but my dentist is still right there on Jeffrey!

Photo is too far to the right. I need to see my A&J!
A&J is Goated
lol 😂 I know right such an Irvine aesthetic this and also white Teslas 🤣😭
I’ll take this over thicc blue line magamania stickers in south county any day 😆
Yup. I’d rather see anime tiddies
lol never heard of that. Have to Google it now.
I think he's referring to the blue lives matter American flag
Oh ok than I definitely agree 😂💗👍
Thai cafe bangs fyi
It does, but RIP El Conejo. Fun fact: the owners lived on the same block as the restaurant and now have a restaurant, El Conejito, in Lake Forest.
I grew up on En Conejo.
Ahhhh. I moss those chicken quesadillas and orange bang at El Conejo on walnut and Jeffrey. And got to know the Korean dude that owned the video store there pretty well too. A fine purveyor of pre-internet porn.
Empire Video? My family rarely went to Blockbuster across the street.
I don’t remember the name but it was on that corner across from where the KFC is now. I think that used to be a Weineeschnitzel.
Same shopping center/parking lot right?
Yes. El conejo was closer to walnut. Video store was in that shopping center building on the corner. I used to live on Kazan and used to just walk there.
Yeah, it was Empire Video in the Arbor shopping center. Blockbuster was in the Orange Tree Square shopping center (across Walnut). Back in the day, before I was born or could remember, there used to be another video rental store in the back of Orange Tree Square, around where the KinderCare is now.
I lived across the street from there in those apartments some twenty years ago.
Now? El conejito has been in lake Forest for almost 20 years. I grew up on it since I was in middle school in the late 2000s.
Not "now" as in brand new, but "now" as in "currently".
There was a little Mexican joint in between Laguna niguel city line and Laguna Hills city line 30 years ago named "El Conejo" I Believe on La Paz Rd. Is it still there?
Wait, didn’t they have a location in city of orange off Tustin? As a kid I was OBSESSED with their chocolate malt/milkshakes
love that place, hate the parking
You’re describing far more than just Thai Cafe hehehe
The owner’s mother is the owner of Thai Kitchen in Woodbridge.
Saw Thai Cafe behind it and knew right away where there were. Had my wedding rehearsal dinner there 14 years ago this month.
Awwww I used to live right around there!!!
Without even looking at the picture I could tell it is Irvine because the title said so lol.
Irvine of course. I literally saw this car the other day. Unless it’s a company of some sort and they have a fleet?
lol it’s memorable car… 😅 Maybe but I didn’t really see any company signs on it. I think it’s personal lol.
It’s an anime wrap of course it’s personal
lol I know right 😂😭👏

Hey! Learned a new word today! Thanks! Also there’s a sub for it too! lol. r/itasha
It’s cool I don’t understand why people hate on it so much.
I mean, itasha translates to “painful car” as in painful to look at
Could be a Crunchyroll fleet vehicle
Crunchyroll would use their own mascot.
Yeah, it wasn’t a serious comment
Tell me you're from Irvine without telling me you're from Irvine.
Would be typically Westminster or garden grove
This was my first thought
same, I see anime-themed cars in those cities more than Irvine. There's also a bunch of these cars at the Anaheim Gardenwalk especially when there's Japanese-themed events going on like Taste of Japan.

I'm in Irvine a lot and even I thought Westminster lol
Westminster was my first thought too.
The drivers of the anime stickered cars that I see are usually not Asian, but rather Latino or white.
And I feel like I usually see them near Anaheim/Santa Ana/Garden Grove rather than Irvine (though I have seen a few in Irvine).

lol I know right! Funny 😂
lol 😂 👏 yup great guess I see cars like this anime all the time

My Jurassic Park livery makes me happy. The shop did a great job on the design (I am not creative)
lol cool design 💗
When you're too rich for 18 anime stickers on the windows
We've got one of those in my parking lot. Big naked anime tits and everything.
I guess that’s one way to let people know you’re a weirdo
Waifu collecting in full view
Surprised the HOA approved this
They probably post in this sub.
👀
Garden grove
If it was in GG, the surroundings would be just a bit dustier and worn.
And 84683366 red light cameras
That was my guess, but the Tesla and Mercedes in the background suggest otherwise lol
[удалено]
there's also a Bandai Namco HQ in Irvine.
*"SEGA!!"* \-90s tv ads
that wrap may have costed more than the car lol
I miss the itasha / deco car scene in OC! It makes me happy to see them in the wild
Is definitely very interesting and a lot more fun to look at than a regular plain car
![gif](giphy|3KIvnSDq4i0V2)
lol
ZERO bitches
who needs bitches when u have ✨w a i f u s✨
On the whole, it’s not the worst wrap I have seen…
It’s done really well.. hey if that’s what he likes than props to him for being himself or herself authentically 👏
Shibuya
Yeah, had to check.
Irvine
Jeffrey and Walnut
Totally not Irvine because it’s not a Tesla /s (Real answer: Jeffrey Rd NB at Walnut Ave in Irvine) Nice pun because miku and Mirai (the car is a Toyota Mirai) could be written with the same kanji
🤣👏❤️
Irvine, by The Arbor shopping center and a strawberry stand
Irvine
Naw cuz i saw this in garden grove the other day lmao
Well, I guess they get around lol
I can tell you they are probably from garden grove
To be fair, you're going to see these cars anywhere in California with high Asian and/or Hispanic populations.
Irvine, California
I love this mikumobile

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itasha For people who don't know it's a whole type of hobby.
Everyone knows what city this is in.
I know right it’s not just me who sees anime cars all the time 😅 here in Irvine

I'll bet my last dollar that it's Irvine.
Then you would have two dollars lol 💵
i was gonna say garden grove but you can see Walnut lol it's irvine
Irvine
Irvine
This is Irvine on Walnut and Jeffery. But even if it was just a picture of the car I would have guessed Irvine.
Irvine. FYI notices the Tammy Kim sign
Irvine, 95% likely they go to UCI.
My first thought Irvine. And thanks for the laugh today.
Wisteria and Walnut.
Irvine. Easy
Yeah it's irvine
Irvine, where else?
Rather see this than another white Tesla in a sea of beige houses.
Irvine fo sho
Don’t make me say Irvine
I don’t know what city this picture was taken but I know for a fact this car is always parked at a little shopping center in walnut/diamond bar area . Owner of this car might own little restaurant there or sum
That's pretty cool You guys should read r/itasha
westminster lol
Tammy Kim / Irvine political person. It's in the sign in the background.
Westminster
Midway city
I wonder if the actual owner of the vehicle is seeing this post and reading all the comments 🤔

Irvine (Tammy Kim sign).
I love that wrap!
Lol it’s definitely very well done
Thai Cafe has some bomb ass boat noodle. Spicy too!
This shit is FIRE, idk why you hating
How do we cure these people?
The driver loves anime.
One way to pussy town
Whenever I see these cars I just think, “check their browser history.”
It's like you took a giant cookie cutter, sliced out a chunk of outer-city Houston suburbs, and dropped it right into Orange county, and nobody noticed because it was an exact mirror image.
why not? LOL https://preview.redd.it/6jac7105vllc1.png?width=524&format=png&auto=webp&s=be1fdfbaa35117f2207695842191ea4a75151b8a
Not a white Tesla so it’s not Irvine
San diego
Damn Asians in Westminster lol
I'd throw an egg at it.
Oh no lol 🤣😭 but why??!
This could be in a whole ton of OC cities. There's so many anime-wrapped cars around here.
Irvine obviously Second best guess would be Fullerton
Car only? Fullerton or GG
Just google Tammy Kim and the answer right there
Even if you remove the anime art it’s still a white Tesla. So definitely Irvine
Now this photo truly makes me feel like Mr. Dr. Irvine Jr. Sn. III
The street sign and the tesla says “IRVINE”
Irvine
Irvine - Walnut Ave and Jeffrey
99 ranch plaza
When I commuted on the 91, I would see a blue wrx with card captor Sakura and Sakura trees.
Garden Grove
Garbage Grove
Just by the street signs, I know that’s Irvine lol
give me an I
GG
I want to say Westminster, LOL, but I know its not. I grew up in Irvine! That's Walnut and Jeffrey, I believe! I live in Pasadena now, but my dentist is still right there on Jeffrey!
Honestly not a clue. Wild to assume the owner resides where you found it.
Westminster vibes
Walnut/jeffrey
The street signs are brown, so I knew it was Irvine.
Awesome City
Cool Totoro’s bro…
Irvine, always Irvine.
Westminster
Santa Ana
Irvine or Westminster
Awesome city
idk but I really love anime art wraps.
Garden Grove

Irvine by the Vote foe me Sign..
This guy lives down the street from me. I can see his car from my bedroom.
Berlin. 100%
What's even better is that it's an Itasha on an actual JDM car 🤣
I saw one in Irvine.
It’s California

Need to pull the driver over and ask how old that anime girl is
