Kei Car Campervan
Where do I sign up! OK, wouldn't be great on the Interstate, but it'd be OK on highways. And great in Japan! I'd give it a shot. More Info http://crankshaftculture.com/2017/01...ini-campervan/

I wonder how fast you can take a corner before it tips over. Do you have to sleep standing up?
I'd love to get my hands on a Cappuccino. Like a mini Miata, as if the Miata wasn't small enough. |

mini-trucks
Didn't Oklahoma tell the federal government to kiss off and allow mini-trucks now? When systems get overregulated, they sometimes rupture dramatically. Witness Uber and Lyft. Little offroad four wheel vehicles are running all over Pennsylvania where local governments let them on their public roads...seem to dominate the ads of motorsports dealers. Average price on order of 10k $.

Most states allow mini-trucks under the category of "low-speed vehicle" or "off-highway vehicle," like ATV's and golf carts. Whether they're allowed on public roads is up to the local government. Kei trucks are popular as farm vehicles. I see them on craigslist once in a while, like this one, though the price is
2004 SUZUKI MINI TRUCK The college I went to in Georgia had a small fleet of Kei trucks for the maintenance department. |

I live in NJ near Philly which is pretty urban.
I doubt they'll go for it.

You should be able to register a 1991 and older Kei vehicle.

I love how the Suzuki is so tiny they could only fit 1 windshield washer nozzle on the hood.
