27 cup-holders.

Although they get a bad rap, those things do help prevent dings in the grocery store parking lot. Which is of course the natural habitat of these animals.

Ahh, the 90s. The good old days when Pontiacs were ribbed for nobody’s pleasure.

How much you wanna bet the cops will be riding this around the impound lot for the next 30 days?

Thank you Mercedes. I am a small importer in NC. I mainly bring in a few KEI trucks a year and sell them locally as a side job/hobby. In 2018 NC prohibited the registering of mini trucks, but that was overturned a year later. Now they are restricted to roads with speed limits of 55mph and under. Senate bill 241 just…

There will be blood. 

If they are so concerned about safety, they should outlaw the motorcycles, they offer even less crash protection than some tiny kei-car. If they are concerned about emissions, then all of the antiques have to be outlawed. My 50 year old Opel GT offers no safety, no good emissions, no enough space inside, but it is…

I love how that ad shows you that you can own a Yugo whether you’re a construction worker or a 12-year-old boy! 

Vermont plates.

AAMVA sounds like a bunch of assholes. I just can’t stand non-profit groups like this, which feel compelled to meddle in shit that doesn’t matter. People who drive kei cars know that they’re toast if they get into an accident. Let ‘em! Most of the time they’re just used for short trips or back road driving.

Side note:…

Some people just hate to see others having fun.

Oregon also does that shit, too. They don’t allow any new registrations of these mini trucks, but they grandfathered trucks already registered in the state.

If they’re citing safety concerns as the reasoning behind banning these vehicles then they better start revoking all antique vehicle registrations on the same grounds. Pretty soon we’ll only be able to drive vehicles that are no more than 10 or 15 years old. Do these morons not realize that FMVSS change year to year…

Who is behind this? Its not like this is eating into new car sales or anything. As far as safety is concerned, there are bigger fish to fry than a niche community. As a Delica owner in PA, this is infuriating. I’ve had my van for 3 years now, never had any hassle or anything. Clean title, registration, all that. 

Anonymity breeds a particular type of shitbag. 

“Trump’s great innovation was to give people permission to be mean.”

Burning anything releases PM 2.5 particles that are very bad for our health. Even if we didn’t have climate change, we would ultimately have to stop burning fuels. Electricity is the easiest form of energy to produce sustainably. It’s not a left wing thing. Auto manufacturers are hardly lefties. They’re realists and…

Trump’s great innovation was to give people permission to be mean. No more hiding one’s amygdala under a rug. I recognize that many people are frightened by change and unwilling to change their lives to adapt to changing conditions, but the auto industry is a business that must make money and produce cash flow to…

“...he’s already receiving death threats for the changes.”
