A public record of used-car listings in Japan, counted daily by maker and model and preserved after listings disappear.

Why it surfaced

The site reports 548,415 listings across 119 makers and 2,241 models, then tracks new, relisted, and removed cars rather than merely offering a search box. Its frozen methodology, historical snapshots, US import-rule reference, and promise to retain asking-price history give an ordinary marketplace a surprisingly archival dimension.

August 15’s newborn domains include a live-aboard hydrogen airship with a two-tonne lift problem, a Japanese toolbox that explains its assumptions, an advisory-by-advisory Hawaiʻi hurricane archive, and a wedding-gift game about ungrateful poultry.
