    Iam startin to see those lil Mitsu,Subaru,and something else,pick-ups for sale on occasion.Small 2or 4cyl.? motors with right hand drive.most are 4-WD.Landscapers use them as 'mulch buggies'.Seems pretty practical cause they're light weight and the sides drop down.One drawback here though.You can't license them for the road here.

    I saw some for sale in Oregon when I visited the kids last year. Went by and asked the guy about them, he said that they cant be street driven only agriculture use. The old one probably can though, pretty slow I would think.

    My buddy in town uses one, called a "Mini-Brute", for his courier business... legal on the road, and he loves it!

    I post them because I think when I get the 64 done I might try to get one. Would like to tow it to the Nat's with one of the Chevy's

    That'd be cool G-Man.Like I said,I've seen them for sale,mostly off the main roads,in the smaller towns.
    When fuel got higher than a cats back last summer,a boy I worked with started checkin into them.What he was findin out,the new(er) ones comin over here was havin like 50K miles on them.From what he was tellin me,they would load a container full to the gills with these Mitsu,Zuzu,Hatsu(?),then sellin them @ 3-4K each.All those I saw were goin for about that much.Saw several in S.Ill & Ky.Few of 'em were pretty slick though.
    It'd be neat to have one.You'd have to stay out of the way of a Navigator or Escalade though.Golf carts are cheaper.lol
    This is what I was talkin bout.Found it after first post.

    I think it would make a real cool mobile beer (I mean "beverage") cooler for a Truck'In!!!

    I actually hope my buddy will let me convert it to a van! Laughing
