I'm down.

 

since this isnt a japanese language forum why dont people just say "driving in the mountains" instead of touge . when ever you come on drag talking about touge or delivering tofu dorifuto style it makes you look like a dumb kid that dosnt know that initial d wasnt a documentary and you are bound to get flamed. however, like rhd soarar said if you like mountain driving there are a few people around here who are into that too. we are only a short 7 hour or so drive from the dragon

 

finally, the dragon was brought up. I was wondering why nobody had mention is yet.

 

Why the fuck don't you say "Where can I find some nice twisty roads to drive on?" Seriously....

 

Because he drives a Japanese car, is into that sort of stuff and it is one word rather than five. According to his location he was in Japan at some point and has enjoyed part of their culture and the way they drive. Touge literally means "Mountain Passes" or something along those lines...since everyone obviously knows what that is why not substitute it for a five word sentence.

I may be giving this guy credit where it is not deserved (he has not responded so I can't tell), but everyone jumps all over anyone who uses any Japanese analogy (zenki, kouki, touge, ect). It is just easier to use one word rather than say the whole thing, and how much better does it sound to say "I'm looking for some twisty roads to drive on" anyway? I guess at least it's English, and doesn't sound I-D at all, but it is still the exact same thing.

I am not trying to have a pissing contest, just point out some of the non-retarded reasons as to why the word would be used.
