AUTOBACS SEVEN Co., Ltd. (Representative Director & Chief Executive Officer: Yugo Horii) will launch its official online community website, “Kurashi to Kuruma Terrace” (https://kurashi-kuruma-terrace.autobacs.com/), on October 1, 2026, where users who enjoy life with cars can connect and interact with one another.

Key Points!
■ Discover hobbies and interests to enjoy with cars, including travel, dogs, photography, and cafés
■ Share photos, experiences, and ideas while connecting and interacting with fellow users
■ Participate in site-exclusive photo contests, product monitor programs, events, and more

“Kurashi to Kuruma Terrace” is a user-participation community website born from our owned media site, “Kurashi to Kuruma” (https://www.kurashi-kuruma.com/). Through “Kurashi to Kuruma,” we have shared information about lifestyles enjoyed with cars, including travel, dogs, cafés, and photography. Going forward, through “Kurashi to Kuruma Terrace,” users themselves will be able to share photos, experiences, and ideas, creating a place where people can connect and interact through their interests.

■ Concept of “Kurashi to Kuruma Terrace”
“Kurashi to Kuruma Terrace” aims to build a community where people who enjoy car lifestyles can share photos, experiences, and ideas, helping spread the message that “Life with cars is enjoyable!” The more photos and interactions shared by community members, the more opportunities there will be to inspire others with new lifestyle ideas and even generate new products from fresh concepts.

 

“A place of relaxation where passions connect through cars, travel, dogs, photography, and cafés.” We will continue nurturing “Kurashi to Kuruma Terrace” so that it becomes a valued place for everyone.

A community discussion board where participants can freely enjoy conversations about memories and stories related to cars, recommended destinations, and more.
