People tend to not talk much about a reliable vehicle because that's boring. "Yeah so, 6000 miles no issues!" vs. "This piece of crap Ford makes me want to run it off a cliff, always being a drama queen!" lol. I will probably get me a kei van with AC because I don't really have a need for a truck bed, but I love dependable vehicles. What has shocked me is how dependable my current daily driver has been. Almost a decade of driving with literally two issues. Of course, it's branded Chevy, was built in Canada, and the drivetrain is all Suzuki lol. Every drama queen vehicle I've ever had has been a Ford.
I always find new ways to use my Kei Truck. They are super utility vehicles - and get much better MPG than my actual truck. Absolutely LOVE that steering wheel
Do you ever drive at night? I know in PA you can drive antique at night if it meets dot light standards. Plan on getting a 1999 hijet and doing antique registration and then daily driving it 4 miles to work and back.
I do drive at night from time to time, and I’ll say the headlights aren’t dot standard. The way it patterns on the road was made for being on the left side of road….
@ could you further explain what you mean by that? As long as it has headlights, taillights, turn signals, running lights and licenses plate light it’s legal in pa.
@@speedyboi4623 Yepp that’s correct, my bad for not being more clear. It is a little bit noticeable when driving at night. When you said dot, I was also thinking of the symbol on the headlight lenses.
I have the 5 speed, and 50 it seems happy at and can do all day, 55-60 it is a bit buzzy but it will do it fine I just personally wouldn’t do it for extended amount of time like short jaunts on highway are ok
Since you are a fellow Marylander I have to ask about your plates. Are you using historic tags? I am about to get one and plan to daily it as well. Didn't know if you had any luck getting real tags for it or you just run around with historics.
I went to tag and title place and let them deal with it, cause it doesn’t have a normal length vin like other vehicles. So from my point of view it was easy lol

Where did you get your left visor? Where did you get your grab handles? Where would I get a replacement radio aerial?

You have to be a marylander with that accent
Haha don’t think I have had anyone say that before but yea Md
I think you have the 4 speed transmission. If so, how is it on the highway at 55?

I am using historic plates and haven’t had any hassles about it as my daily. Tbh I didn’t even want to try and get normal plates.
@@pitbikemike same here. I just want to get historics and drive it. Was it a hassle or fairly straight forward?
