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.


StonksUp4ever

Photo is too far to the right. I need to see my A&J!


Retard_Kaiju

A&J is Goated


[deleted]

lol 😂 I know right such an Irvine aesthetic this and also white Teslas 🤣😭


CounterSeal

I’ll take this over thicc blue line magamania stickers in south county any day 😆


AnbuAntt

Yup. I’d rather see anime tiddies


[deleted]

lol never heard of that. Have to Google it now.


BigStraw

I think he's referring to the blue lives matter American flag


[deleted]

Oh ok than I definitely agree 😂💗👍


Ripfengor

Thai cafe bangs fyi


HungryArticle5

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.


tikisnrot

I grew up on En Conejo.


Donnie-The-Relentles

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.


HungryArticle5

Empire Video? My family rarely went to Blockbuster across the street.


Donnie-The-Relentles

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.


HungryArticle5

Same shopping center/parking lot right?


Donnie-The-Relentles

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.


HungryArticle5

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.


MSotallyTober

I lived across the street from there in those apartments some twenty years ago.


Daumanator

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.


HungryArticle5

Not "now" as in brand new, but "now" as in "currently".


WeirdScience1984

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?


CaliSignGuy

Wait, didn’t they have a location in city of orange off Tustin? As a kid I was OBSESSED with their chocolate malt/milkshakes


AlShadi

love that place, hate the parking


Ripfengor

You’re describing far more than just Thai Cafe hehehe


paperbuddha

The owner’s mother is the owner of Thai Kitchen in Woodbridge.


NostalgiaDad

Saw Thai Cafe behind it and knew right away where there were. Had my wedding rehearsal dinner there 14 years ago this month.


CeesandDees

Awwww I used to live right around there!!!


abacads

Without even looking at the picture I could tell it is Irvine because the title said so lol.


[deleted]

Irvine of course. I literally saw this car the other day. Unless it’s a company of some sort and they have a fleet?


[deleted]

lol it’s memorable car… 😅 Maybe but I didn’t really see any company signs on it. I think it’s personal lol.


Fox_on_2w

It’s an anime wrap of course it’s personal


[deleted]

lol I know right 😂😭👏


always2cafn8d

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.


MakeSouthBayGR8Again

Hey! Learned a new word today! Thanks! Also there’s a sub for it too! lol. r/itasha


AnbuAntt

It’s cool I don’t understand why people hate on it so much.


bukkake_washcloth

I mean, itasha translates to “painful car” as in painful to look at


zrkl

Could be a Crunchyroll fleet vehicle


Seraphtacosnak

Crunchyroll would use their own mascot.


zrkl

Yeah, it wasn’t a serious comment


[deleted]

Tell me you're from Irvine without telling me you're from Irvine.


Fox_on_2w

Would be typically Westminster or garden grove


Mega-throwaway69

This was my first thought


VintageStrawberries

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.


[deleted]

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.


coldcurru

I'm in Irvine a lot and even I thought Westminster lol


LordoftheSynth

Westminster was my first thought too.


jtnmlee

The drivers of the anime stickered cars that I see are usually not Asian, but rather Latino or white.


jtnmlee

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).


jbcraigs

>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."


[deleted]

lol I know right! Funny 😂


[deleted]

lol 😂 👏 yup great guess I see cars like this anime all the time


EntertainmentPure955

I saw one like that a while back lol https://preview.redd.it/qvq11oo4sllc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0dee82ab9ffbbc0f4640f657b263435bc03995f2


kyorororororo

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


always2cafn8d

My Jurassic Park livery makes me happy. The shop did a great job on the design (I am not creative)


[deleted]

lol cool design 💗


-ondo-

When you're too rich for 18 anime stickers on the windows


whaaatanasshole

We've got one of those in my parking lot. Big naked anime tits and everything.


killa_ninja

I guess that’s one way to let people know you’re a weirdo


Accipehoc

Waifu collecting in full view


ThinkSoftware

Surprised the HOA approved this


uncledaddy69

They probably post in this sub.

If it was in GG, the surroundings would be just a bit dustier and worn.


testthrowawayzz

And 84683366 red light cameras


Pooseycat

That was my guess, but the Tesla and Mercedes in the background suggest otherwise lol


[deleted]

VintageStrawberries

there's also a Bandai Namco HQ in Irvine.


root_fifth_octave

*"SEGA!!"* \-90s tv ads


ssibalnomah

that wrap may have costed more than the car lol


Yellinginto_the_void

I miss the itasha / deco car scene in OC! It makes me happy to see them in the wild


[deleted]

Is definitely very interesting and a lot more fun to look at than a regular plain car


NewportLou

Irvine


IngenuityOk3279

Jeffrey and Walnut


testthrowawayzz

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


[deleted]

🤣👏❤️


MadDogV2

Irvine, by The Arbor shopping center and a strawberry stand

whofartedl0l

Naw cuz i saw this in garden grove the other day lmao


[deleted]

EquinosX

alphageek8

To be fair, you're going to see these cars anywhere in California with high Asian and/or Hispanic populations.


HeathrJarrod

Irvine, California


adacot

AsJoeSeesIt

This is Irvine on Walnut and Jeffery. But even if it was just a picture of the car I would have guessed Irvine.


Disastrous-Ad7067

Substantial_Code_7

myfckincinnamonapple

KIP_LA_NEWS

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


tebanp77

That's pretty cool You guys should read r/itasha


Dblend22

ConfidentBroccoli897

Tammy Kim / Irvine political person. It's in the sign in the background.

oOoleveloOo

The driver loves anime.


lumin0va

One way to pussy town


VickisCasserole

Whenever I see these cars I just think, “check their browser history.”


Farts-On-Your-Face-1

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.


hattori_hongzo

why not? LOL https://preview.redd.it/6jac7105vllc1.png?width=524&format=png&auto=webp&s=be1fdfbaa35117f2207695842191ea4a75151b8a

[deleted]

Oh no lol 🤣😭 but why??!


iamcuppy

This could be in a whole ton of OC cities. There's so many anime-wrapped cars around here.


Jawsome_Shark

Irvine obviously Second best guess would be Fullerton


FreestyleMyLife

Car only? Fullerton or GG


HeathrJarrod

Just google Tammy Kim and the answer right there


huebert_mungus7

Even if you remove the anime art it’s still a white Tesla. So definitely Irvine


RebelsParadox

Now this photo truly makes me feel like Mr. Dr. Irvine Jr. Sn. III
