Japanese Replica Taxi Meter helps you charge freeloaders riding in your gas guzzler

Japanese Replica Taxi Meter helps you charge freeloaders riding in your gas guzzler

Japanese taxis are easily among the most expensive rides in any major city, and now you can mix that novelty with freeloading friends reluctant to chip in on gas money. The Japanese Replica Taxi Meter is incredibly realistic, compact and can be quickly pulled out and affixed to your dashboard to begin charging the moochers in your passenger seats.

Although the meter doesn't actually correspond to real distance, the fare does increase in a gradual manner over time giving the meter a close-to-reality appeal. Keep in mind that the charges are reflected in Japanese yen, so you might want to keep a digital currency converter handy on your phone. You can pick up your ticket to amateur cabbie status for 3,200 yen ($33.42) here.
