Default Cool things to do in Tokyo?

Hi guys,

I'm heading to Tokyo in September for around 10 days, and wanted some advice on cool car-related things to see. I've been to Tokyo four times in the past, but the only car-thing I've ever done is visit the Honda Welcome Plaza in Aoyama.

I know that I should go see the Honda Collection Museum in Motegi this time around, and was hoping for any tips and/or directions.

I was also hoping to get some insight on other places to visit.

Thanks in advance!

(btw, this post is mirrored on several sub-forums).

Here is the Motegi website (they have english):

Also, I recommend going to Super AutoBacs at Shiodome (That's where I always go when i lived in Tokyo):

Enjoy your stay!!

on a warm sunday afternoon stand on most any corner in shinjuku and just watch the amazing array of cool stuff drive by- both two and four wheeled [won't work on weekdays..mostly taxis and light trucks]...welcome plaza's fun; have a refreshing coffee beverage there and check out the "goodie" shop...as i recall it's a short walk to the ginza where car watching is pretty good as well.
