Love for JDM Skylines and Round Cat Garage - Mickey Andrade

In this episode of the Creative Drive, we talk with Mickey Andrade about finally entering the Skyline world after years of admiration, starting not with an R34, but with an R32 — and how a business acquisition helped kickstart a serious JDM collection. We dive into: • The surreal feeling of seeing R34s legally in the U.S. • Starting a Skyline journey with the R32 • Why every car in the collection is white • The influence of Japanese car culture icons like Taniguchi • The inspiration behind building a monochromatic car collection From spending some time in Japan to building a stateside collection, this conversation is about influence, aspiration, and how early 2000s JDM culture leaves a permanent mark. Because sometimes it’s not just about owning the car — it’s about honoring the vision that inspired you in the first place. https://offers.racer.com/subscribe for RACER+ and magazine offer!
