Horsepower to Ponypower
Side by side comparisons. The SUV on the left is a regular size, 4-Runner type car. The truck on the right is some kind of miniature flatbed.
Even next to Noriko, the car is obviously volume-challenged.
Our "new" car was delivered Friday night. It's a Suzuki Wagon-R. It boasts an engine of 660 cubic centimeters. I have no idea what kind of horsepower it has. We filled up the tank at the reasonable price of 149 yen per liter. I think that's about $5 a gallon. It's about four times as expensive to buy gas, but we actually need to use the car about four times as less. There are many models of 660cc engine cars: trucks, SUVs, vans. They are easily spotted by size and for some reason their license plates are all yellow. The top picture was taken at our parking spot that is a 5 minute walk from the house. However, Noriko just got off the phone and found us a new spot that is about 2.5 minutes away.

I say you need to get some hydraulics put on that thing...

That would look great with a 6 inch lift kit, chrome rims and chrome steps.
Mr. BWS
I can get you a domino's pizza sign for the top of your car so you can get away with driving crazy.
ANP- i haven't found the spare yet. I hope it has one.
JH and Mr. BWS- it has a lift kit in it now
Mr. BWS- are you whom I think you are? nice to see you.
Uncle Joe- i wish you could get me a domino's pizza delivered. it's about $30 to have PizzaHut bring us one. and they deliver pizzas via scooters here!
Yep, I'm who you think I am. I haven't seen you on Yahoo Messenger in a long time.
Did I ever tell you that every time I open a 2 liter bottle of soda I hear your mom's voice telling me to point it away from my face. That has saved me from much pain at least twice.
Mr. BWS
