is a special edition.
\nCan we renew a kei car?
\nI think we can\u2026
\nThough I’ve never done it before\u2026
\nSince we need to do a structural modification on the Katana, we’re heading to Shinagawa.
\nWhile we’re at it, let’s get the renewal done too\u2014it’s raining anyway.
\nWhen we got to Shinagawa, they told us, “Kei cars aren’t handled here!”
\nHow embarrassing\u2605
\nWe went to the counter to submit the structural modification application.
\n“What’s this for? Why is the engine being re-stamped by official authority? And why wasn’t the weight measured front and rear?”
\nWhen they asked, “What’s this 10 kilos in the back?” I didn’t know what to say\u2026
\nBeats me.
\nI’ll send the details by email\u2026 The application was rejected for incomplete documentation.
\nThe kei car center was nearby and it was still 11:30, so we headed to our friend Yamamoto’s shop to grab some McDonald’s, which they say is good for your health.
\nWe brought it as a gift and hung out\u2026
\nWhen it was time, we went to the kei car center and successfully completed the renewal inspection\u2605
\nA kei car is faster than a Sunny Truck\u2026 and roomier too\u2026
\nI felt incredibly sad about that\u2026
\nPoof.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
