Go big or go home, right? What about going small? And wacky? And with some flashing lights and an on-board generator?

This 1996 Mitsubishi Minicab kei truck ticks all of those boxes, and it’s currently on offer over at Cars & Bids.

Seriously, though, someone should buy this before David does.

We discussed not running this so he could have better chances of winning it.

I decided that I'm going to buy it and keep it at Colin's house.

I mean, how much room does a kei truck really take up?

Well, technically no more than 3.4m, right?

It's not like any of us are going to get an article out of it...

It's a parts fetcher!

It's a pit bike!

It could end up being the only thing in the fleet that runs when you need to go to the office!

I did see a kei fire truck in our neighborhood the other day--passed it while heading home. I need to find the owner. We're not a golf community yet our neighborhood's friendly to golf carts. I saw a black one with a screaming chicken on it, too.

Get one with the locker and a dump bed! Then you can basically justify it as a wheel barrow.

You'll need to log in to post.
