[Roadsters] Nice 1600 in Japan

[turbored]

It's 1,480,000 Yen, about 15k USD.

In East Asian Languages (C/K/J), we count in multiples of 10,000 when
we get that high. So 10,000 = 1 10,000, 100,000 = 10 10,000s,
1,000,000 = 100 10,000s (h, or d8 man in Japanese).

An easy way to get a rough exchange rate with USD is to just drop the
last two zeros, or to consider the amount in pennies.

Y1,000 = $10 or 1000 cents
Y1,480,000 = $14,800 or 1.48M cents.

But boy the Yen has gotten strong against the dollar.
