I found this second generation Mazda Porter Cab sitting under a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! at what looks like some sort of service garage of something.

Those who know the Porter Cab well enough know that the front of the truck looks like it has a face, especially with those headlights.

Combine that with the light reflecting on the headlights looking like pupils, and the way the wheels are turned makes it look like it wants to roll out, have you hug it, and go home with you. Kinda like a little puppy.

Fortunately, since the US 25 years old or older import law means that vehicles 1989 or older can be legally imported, all Porter Cabs can be brought here without much issue, since 1989 was the last year of the Porter cab, before being replaced by the Autozam Scrum.

But, would you be willing to take this cute little 2 cylinder kei truck home with you? I know I would.

I see what I think is one of these every other weekend out in rural Georgia. Has a windshield banner that says "Size Matters"

That is the most adorable truck I have ever seen! It looks so sad down there. :(

That's awesome. Every time I see a kei truck, it's always one of those 'low speed' ones for off road use only, with the engine electronically limited to 25 mph.

Of course, that's not slow to the Japanese. Many speed limits are 50 km/h (just over 31 mph), where 25 mph is equal to just over 40 km/h.

I know. I want one.

Who knows, maybe it's still there and someone could go there and bring it back to America, since it's legal by age.
