This is a thread, very similiar to the Show Your Drift Cars Thread.
This is a thread where you show off your in-game pictures of your Tōge builds/favorite car for Tōge
There are only two rules: Be nice, and keep your posts to a maximum of 8 pictures.
Have fun... Hope to see you on the tack someday.

What is Tōge?
Tōge (峠) is a Japanese word literally meaning "pass". It refers to a mountain pass or any of the narrow, winding roads that can be found in and around the mountains of Japan and other geographically similar areas, like the legendary Nordschleife in Germany.
In order to decrease the incline of mountain roads, thereby making them easier for commercial trucks to pass, engineers place a series of S bends in steep roads that provide access to and from high mountain elevations. These passes have become popular with street racers and motorsportenthusiasts because they provide a challenging, albeit dangerous, course.
Racing
Typically, there are three main types of racing in Tōge. Cat and mouse/Sudden Death; Grip Gambler; Time Attack/Ghost Battle.
Cat and Mouse/Sudden Death
The cars start almost bumper to bumper (one in front of the other). The lead car wins if the space between the cars increases considerably, while the following car wins if it decreases the gap between the lead car. If any car spins out or crashes, the other car wins the race. In the event of the following car keeping pace, the race is usually rerun with the positions swapped.
This style of battle is often chosen when the road isn't wide enough to allow passing, but if the car in front does indeed somehow get passed, the overtaken car loses if he does not re-pass.
Grip Gambler
If the road is wide enough, this method comes into use. Instead of the lead and chase type of start, the cars are lined up next to each other. If there exists a power handicap, a rolling start would be employed up until the 1st turn. Whoever is in the lead at the end of the "tōge" road, is the winner. Then if the chaser manages to keep up they switch roles until someone wins.
Time Attack/Ghost Battle
Ghost battles are challenges in racing. Opponents do not actually race at the same time, instead, they are timed separately over a particular length of road and the racer with the quickest time wins.
Spontaneous tōge battles may also be initiated by random encounters between racers on the street. The challenge is communicated through the use of the hazard lights, then, depending on the race setting, one of the first two tōge types is chosen for the battle.
