1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,560 Hey, welcome to Dan Week. Today we're talking about LMG Whips and today I've got my great value brand Miata. 2 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:12,960 It's actually a 1993 Suzuki Cappuccino. I just got it in imported directly from Japan. 3 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,480 So it's a K-Series car, which is a Japanese special of absolutely teeny tiny little cars. 4 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,680 It's part of the ABC, so you've got the AutoZam AZ1, you've got the Honda Beat, 5 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:29,280 and then you've got the Suzuki Cappuccino. It's a two-door rear wheel drive, 6 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:37,120 with a 660cc three-cylinder turbocharged little engine in the front somewhere, 7 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,280 if you can barely see it. I've had it for a few months now. I bought it kind of sight unseen. 8 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,360 When you buy an international auction, you only get like two pictures, and thankfully I really 9 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,800 lucked out with this one. It's got aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket RSR lowering shocks, 10 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,120 aftermarket Kendra radial tires, an aftermarket turbo blow-off valve, short shifting kit, 11 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:03,760 aftermarket seats, floor mats, steering wheel. It has a roll cage installed. It runs totally fine. 12 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:11,840 So yeah, 1993, it's about 30 years old, 31 now I guess, and it has about 150,000 K on it, which is 13 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,800 pretty good. Yeah. I think everyone's question is, why is it, why do you think it's a small car? 14 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:27,280 I don't know. Have you ever seen that Simpsons episode where the guys are like, oh, this is the biggest car that I could afford. I only barely fit. I think about six-foot-two. 15 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,320 I'm six-foot-two. Doug DeMiro did a little video on it. He's about six-foot-four. He fit. I knew 16 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:36,160 I'd fit. It's actually pretty okay. I mean, the seats all the way back, but at least then I don't 17 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:42,560 have to remember where it is, you know? We want to see you in it. You want to see me try and get in it? 18 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,280 I think that'll be fun. So there's a bit of a technique that I have to do. So here's first leg 19 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,520 and then we go in like this and then I got to stay about halfway up the seat so I can get my other 20 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:03,200 leg in and then down. Yeah, it's quite comfy. There we go. Yeah, aftermarket boost gauge, 21 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,840 which is kind of nice. It's also got aftermarket HID headlights. I had to do a little mod because 22 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,040 in Canada at least you have to have daytime running lights and so that went kind of well. 23 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,120 I'll talk about that a bit more when we get into the engine, but do you want to hear it? 24 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,360 Yeah. All right. Oh, it also talks. I forgot about that. 25 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,920 It talks? Yeah, it's got the automatic toll road system that they have in Japan. 26 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:29,840 Oh, turbo timer as well. Keep the engine on. Kind of nice. 27 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,920 Refs to 8,000 RPM because it's a teeny tiny little motor. Pretty cool. 28 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:46,960 One of the other cool things it has is it's a three-piece hardtop convertible 29 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,880 and it's a nice sunny day. So why don't we take that off? You can give me a hand in a minute here. 30 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:58,160 Mr. Sammy. Yeah, I'll show you. And then we flip that this way as well. There we go. Oh yeah, 31 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,560 getting out is fun. You want to see that? It takes a bit of practice, but I have got reasonably 32 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:08,720 graceful at it. And then each of the roof panels come off individually 33 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,960 like that. They're made of aluminum. They're super, super, super light. 34 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,880 And they fit in the absolutely hilarious trunk. I don't think you're prepared for this. There you go. 35 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:34,720 That's how big the trunk is. I'm pretty sure that the trunk is designed only to fit the roof panels. And I haven't quite figured 36 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:41,760 out the perfect way to get them in there yet. There we go. So there's one. It's about the 37 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,920 size of the roof panel. Okay, there's number two. See if I can get that in here. It's supposed to come 38 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,680 with a little bag, but I didn't get the bag, I guess. That's whatever. There we go. There's two. 39 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,760 Trunk's almost gone. This is probably my favorite configuration. I think this is called a target top 40 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,840 where you just have the center. Makes it a little more open. It's kind of got a bit of shade in there. 41 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,240 I like it. It's kind of cool. And then you can take this one out too. I think that's in the middle 42 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:12,000 here. And I'm pretty sure that the three piece was done as a necessity instead of a cool, 43 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,920 but just the fact that they attempted a convertible at all is pretty neat. There we go. 44 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,840 There we go. So now we're in full hard top convertible. Will this one fit? I don't know. 45 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,800 Yeah, there you go. So there, they fit that. Only got one key. Better make sure I got that. 46 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,840 And the final piece to come down is the entire rear windscreen. There's a little latch right there. 47 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:42,960 Ah, there you go. There's a latch there. And then lastly, I think it's this. You've got to push that 48 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:51,120 in. And then this comes up. And then this whole thing folds down. So now it's a full convertible 49 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:59,280 convertible. I think so. Yeah. Alcantara. And look, the trunk holds all of the roof pieces. 50 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,680 And that's it. That's all. Last thing, I guess, is the engine. The release for it's in the glove 51 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,680 compartment. You're going to see this if you haven't already, Alex. I don't know what I'm looking at. 52 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:18,320 Engine. Engine. Again, this is the 660 cc three cylinder turbo charge. A little tiny, tiny thing. 53 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:29,520 It's like a nook. It's like a grandmother's laptop that somebody put like a D brand skin on. 54 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,560 Basically, there's a lot of aftermarket stuff on this. I think it's got the aftermarket blow-off 55 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,360 valve. I haven't been able to find the turbo because it's about this big. I believe it's 56 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:47,520 underneath the engine looking at some of the diagrams there. These two boxes here for the 57 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,360 aftermarket HID headlights. And because in Canada, we have to have daytime running lights, 58 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,480 I needed to do a mod for them. My first attempt, I went straight into the 12 volt line for the 59 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,440 entire car. And that meant that if the lights were on, it controlled the entire ignition system. 60 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,160 And so the car wouldn't shut off if I had the lights on. I ended up putting a diode in there, 61 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,880 which prevents the backfill to the rest of the system. And that's got some like heat sink compound, 62 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,280 and it's just abstract to the like the frame. I don't know, kind of works. I think I found your 63 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:22,320 turbo. Oh, you did? Yeah, it should be right down there. It's right here. Yep. So cute. Isn't that 64 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,920 tiny? It's about that big. There's no turbo lag because it doesn't have anything to spin up. 65 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,240 It makes some good noises though. And then an aftermarket breather as well, 66 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,760 just gives that tiny turbo another sip of air. And the original battery died. So I just put a 67 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,640 tractor battery in it because they're the same size. And an original Cappuccino battery from 68 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:51,040 Japan costs like $300. So it's a tractor. And then I had an SAE approved wood block to hold it in 69 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,120 in place. There's two prices that you kind of have to worry about when you're importing a car 70 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,440 from Japan. The first one is the price of the car. And the second one is getting here landed. 71 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:08,480 So this car from Japan cost me $6,000. Canadian. And getting it landed to my door was $9,300 total. 72 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:14,880 So about three grand in import. But that pays for, you know, transport. That's the shipping. 73 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:20,480 That's the inspections. That's everything. It's got AC. So that costs $100 in like AC charge. 74 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,080 And then you're paying dock fee and then transport to my house and then everything. So to my door, 75 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:33,760 delivered to my door, $9,300. Not bad for a car that seems to work pretty good. 76 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,760 We can blame Ariana for this. She's done about five. She drives the right hand drive Lexus right 77 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,240 now that I think costs like no money as well. And the thing is that the Cappuccino is a reasonably 78 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:52,080 rare car. It's also one of the only cars I've seen that kind of was like cool and attractive. 79 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:59,200 Like I want a Datsun 240Z, but like those are $40,000 rusted out with no motor or anything. 80 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:05,280 I actually learned stick on this car. I've only had it for like a few weeks now, maybe months. So 81 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,200 there, told you the talks. I've only had it for a few weeks now. So let's see if we can get there 82 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:23,600 without dying. Buy a blue. You can fit two people in this thing? Barely. All right, you ready? 83 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,360 I'm ready. Am I? I don't know. 84 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,160 You see a belt on? Yes. 85 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,520 Oh yeah, it's very lowered. I've got some new shocks that are coming in. 86 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,200 They should be here in a month or so. They're being built. Not many people make a, 87 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,680 you know, coilover for a Suzuki Cappuccino. 88 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:10,320 Oh my God. We're going like 50K right now. 50 to 60. This is 60K. We're doing the speed limit. 89 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,320 Oh my God. What the f**k? 90 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,000 What comes up to my waist? 91 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,040 Right there. It's a bellybutton height. It's a small car. It is a small car. It's four and a half feet 92 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:32,320 wide or something like that. 49 or something inches tall. Like, oh my God. It's so tiny. So 93 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,840 weirdo. So cute. So what are your plans with the car? Like any of your plans? Yes, I do. 94 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,240 I'm going to Hayabusa Swap It. So right now, this car makes 66 horsepower and weighs around 1500 95 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:50,400 pounds. And if I Hayabusa Swap It, it will make around 350 horsepower, which will be terrifying, 96 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,040 because this is a rear wheel drive car that comes with some caveats, though. Motorcycles don't 97 00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:00,640 technically have reverse gear. So I need to buy a limited slip rear differential that has a mechanical 98 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,920 reversing like lever. So I'd have a big piece of string in the cabin. I'll just go reverse. 99 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:12,080 Just to flip the wheels around. My kind of main goal was to do a sequential. Now, 100 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:19,040 if I were to case swap this, I would have to spend about 10 grand US on a sequential transmission. 101 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,200 And that's kind of dumb. So what I can do is I can go for a motorcycle engine like a Hayabusa 102 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,480 that comes with a sequential transmission built in. The main problem then is how am I going to get 103 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:35,120 the like knobby things to do the shifting. So that will also come with an aftermarket pneumatic 104 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,400 paddle shifting system, which will be able to do clutchless shifting, which will be a whole thing, 105 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,960 I guess. And then because I don't really want to be worrying about the clutch when I'm going into 106 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:51,280 neutral to first can also get a radix clutch for the Hayabusa specifically, which is a kind of 107 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:57,680 magical slipping clutch type thing at low RPMs and low speeds. It will slip very similar to an 108 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:03,200 automatic, but it's technically a full clutch plate, right? I prefer kind of superchargers over 109 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:09,360 turbo. There are some mods that you can do for the Hayabusa engine, including superchargers. So 110 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,280 if I do go that route, which will probably be another three or four grand for this one particular 111 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:20,080 component, it should be able to push around 450 horsepower. This also probably means that 112 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,520 if I'm at a traffic light and I just ever so gently touch the throttle, the back tires will 113 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,720 break away and I'll immediately die. So that will also need to include a full four corner 114 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:38,000 ABS system with traction control through a central computer as well. My other big plan as well 115 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,360 for centralized control, you know how in a Tesla, they've got like the big center screen. I wanted 116 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,200 the car to be controlled with something similar to that. If I'm doing map tuning or anything like 117 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,040 that, that can be in the center screen at all times. You don't have to have like a secondary 118 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:57,200 laptop or anything like that. It also allows me to adjust things for maybe comfort or more track 119 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,200 things. I don't know if I'm going to be doing a full active suspension because that probably cost 120 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,040 more than my life. I'm not entirely sure how I would do that. Probably some sort of single board 121 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:10,560 solid state computer, latte panda, raspberry pi, something like that. Just to kind of give that 122 00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:15,680 screen, maybe a touch screen. I don't know if that's overkill. Maybe one of those like Kensington 123 00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:19,920 ball mice that I could glue to the window or something like that. But I think that's quite 124 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,160 far off. Hayabusa engine is about four grand. The limited slip rear differential is about four 125 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:30,960 grand. The pneumatic shifting system is about four grand. And then all of the work and labor 126 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,960 that's going to go into mounting that. Thankfully, we just got a really high end, like professional 127 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:43,120 grade laser scanner. So I can just do the engine bay, cat it up and then pretend. You know, I say 128 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,280 it's easy, but it's probably not going to be. How long do you think it's going to take for all that? 129 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,080 The most difficult thing is going to be spending the money because kind of once you start, you 130 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,200 can't stop because I mean, you get a power plant and you can't use that because you don't have any 131 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:03,280 like control systems for it. And then you have to kind of buy the limited slip rear differential 132 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:09,440 or make a converting kind of box that goes in the way of the drive shaft that reverses the drive 133 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,440 shaft direction. It's probably going to be a ways off. I think, I think it'll be a ways off. 134 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,760 Most of the mods that I was going to do this originally were already done, like the rollcage 135 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,120 was done and the blow off valve was done and the breather was done. The aftermarket exhaust is cool. 136 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,280 The only thing I have to do is replace these RSR lowering springs because it bottoms out in five 137 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:35,840 seconds. Yeah, I don't know. It's, it's, it came together for less money than I thought I was going 138 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,560 to have to spend on it. And because Japan doesn't sell their roads and nobody really drives, 139 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:50,480 no rust, about 150, 130K for six grand plus import. Not bad. It's not bad. I got to drive Linus home 140 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,120 on Friday when that was kind of a, that was a trip. We'll see what he thinks about that. 141 00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:02,000 I think you've made a horrible mistake. I don't know. You've got my car. This is clearly my sized. 142 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,920 I'm reverse compensating. Damn, dude. Who do you think you are, Drake? 143 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:14,080 Now I have to confess, we cheated a little bit. Dan actually drove me home after Wansho last week 144 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:21,280 and I got a chance to ride in it. It is absolutely f***ing gutless, which is hilarious to me because 145 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:27,520 this car probably has the highest ratio of coolness to actual real world performance that I think I 146 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:35,600 have ever seen. Like you think a Miata is something? No, man. This is the ultimate cool car that has 147 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:42,960 absolutely nothing where it counts. Three cylinders, baby. Oh yeah. Man, if I could do Alex's, like, 148 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,320 I can't do it either. Snap, snap thing, man. Okay, but here's what I want to know because it's right 149 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:55,760 hand drive, right? And so Dan wouldn't let me drive it last time, but can I, can I try? I have, 150 00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:01,840 let's go. I have never driven right hand drive before, but he says that the gearbox is all the 151 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,080 same and the pedals are in the same spot, so theoretically I should be able to do this. Now 152 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:12,560 I'm not going to go far. Oh my god, I feel like I am sticking out of the car, sir. I love it with 153 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,360 the Targa. It's good, huh? Oh, that's hilarious. So you still put the key in on the right side. 154 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:23,520 Everything is identical, only the stick is over here. Do mine as well, yeah. Well, yeah, I mean, 155 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,920 right, we're going to, if we're going to die in the accident, we might as well die sooner. It's 156 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,560 kind of a roll cage for you to get brain damage on. As you said, yeah. You know your head's above 157 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,680 the roll cage, right? I think Dan's head is going to protect the chrome finish on this. Yeah, it 158 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:43,760 won't get scratched up. Don't get blood on the leather. Got the carbon fiber shifting on. Yeah. 159 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:51,600 Okay, whoever owned this thing, good taste. We got the e-brake on here. Am I even in gear? 160 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:58,320 Yep. It's a big clutch point is all the way up there. Wow. Yeah, you got to give her. You got 161 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,360 to really get out there. Okay, okay. Oh, hey, I mean, who needs power steering, right? When you're 162 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,720 driving a go kart. Yes, exactly. He just turned the wheels a little bit. You know what's funny 163 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:17,040 is the vehicle that this reminds me of most is actually the little Suzuki Swift that my family 164 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:24,160 had when I was a teenager. Yeah. I think it was a 1990 or a 1991. You know the little one, 165 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:32,400 the Geometro, the Firefly. Hey, get your performance engine out of here. Okay, we only need three 166 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:40,320 cylinders. Look at these guys. I feel insecure. Did you talk about how it has a turbo? I did, 167 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,320 yeah. Did you show them how big it is? We tried to find it. It's about that big. I said there's 168 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:50,320 no turbo lag because it has nothing to spin up. The world's smallest turbo. Yeah. I like the steering 169 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:56,800 wheel though. Steering wheel is nice. Momo Italy. It's very nice. Yeah. God, you cannot just dry 170 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,760 steer this thing. No, and the wheels rub as well because it's lowered. So you can't even get a 171 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:07,120 proper turning radius on it yet. Once I get the shocks in, it'll be better. Okay, this car being 172 00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:18,880 lowered. Turbo timer. This car being lowered is absolutely hilarious because it's already so low 173 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,200 that driving around on the road, like, you know how you drive in a normal car, right? And you 174 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,320 pull up beside a semi truck and you're like, whoa, you pull up beside a freaking Honda Civic and 175 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,120 you're like, hi there. Andy's car is like, we're looking up to the hood. It's terrifying. Check this 176 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:39,280 out, Sammy. Look how far my butt is off the ground. So what's crazy is that between the 177 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:46,720 between the wine of the turbo and between how low you are to the ground and how sort of hard the car 178 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,240 seems to be working, you can be going like 90 kilometers an hour and you feel like you are 179 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,280 flying. Like seriously, okay, look at this. 180 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:05,040 That is barely any, I could actually drive the car from the concrete. 181 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:14,160 I love this thing. It's so cute. It's just hilarious. I pull, I pull up home and I see it next to my 182 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,200 Mercedes and I just giggle every single time. It's so small. I don't know if I showed you 183 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,800 because I got the panels in the trunk now, right? Oh my God. So there's like three-piece convertible, 184 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:32,320 right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the trunk is, he's going to die. It's only, only panels. 185 00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:39,840 So you guys, if you ever see Dan driving the Mercedes, you know it's because he needed to move 186 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,400 a body. Otherwise he would have, otherwise he would have, what does this thing even called? 187 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,400 Cappuccino. Otherwise he would have taken the Cappuccino. Bring out the Cappuccino. 188 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,440 Well, we couldn't, we got two LTT Store.com backpacks in here. We did. That was it. That's 189 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,280 all that fits in the trunk. On the way home because it's not like there's a back seat to throw them 190 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,160 in. Does it use like standard tires? Like what's the radius? No, so these are actually, these are 191 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,920 15 inch. They're aftermarket as well. These are 15 inch tires. Gary told me that you can't get these 192 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,720 in North America. They're directional. They're really nice. I don't know too much about them, 193 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,000 but these are definitely aftermarket. They rub on the front. I'm hoping that when I 194 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,280 get this a little bit higher off the ground, they, you know, clear the fenders. 195 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:30,160 Neat. Yes. Well, you let me know if you need a paint job, all right? I certainly will. I think 196 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,240 it's been done badly. Oh yeah. No, this does have an aftermarket paint job on it already. 197 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,960 So the good news is that, that means that we can't actually really like screw it up any worse. 198 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:44,240 Yes. Wait, no, it's not because it, oh, let me just trap your finger in there. It is original 199 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,360 color, but they touched up this panel and you can see the tape lines here. Are you sure that 200 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,320 it's not a white car that they painted red? Cause this did come red as standard. 201 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,760 Yes. You look right here. So there's definitely some touch up here because they got paint on this 202 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:06,800 trim piece, right? But if you look in here, like there's no, nobody does, nobody does an 203 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:12,880 after the fact paint job and like gets in here with it. So this is a red car. Okay. And oh, 204 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,880 here, here, here, here, here. This too. So you can always tell if you, if you get down to metal, 205 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,280 right? Then I'm so sorry. I'm going to do this. That's okay. It needs a new one anyway. You can 206 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,400 see there's the primer, right? And there's the red. There's no extra layers there. Yeah. So this was 207 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:32,640 red, but they've done some questionable, um, adjustment work on it. Yeah. Yeah. I love the 208 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:38,880 tail lights. Yeah. A little like bug-eyed, friggin' tail lights. And it has one reverse light. I 209 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,920 also love that they look so comically large because there's, I don't know this for a fact, 210 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:49,280 but I'm guessing there's probably regulatory requirements for the size of your indicators 211 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,400 and all of that. Most likely. And probably they don't scale with the size of the car. 212 00:20:54,400 --> 00:21:02,000 So you end up with these gigantic signals and, uh, and brake lights. Love it. Did you feel the 213 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:08,400 roof panel? Which does it weigh? Oh my God. They're aluminum. The hood's aluminum. Again, the car only 214 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:15,040 weighs about 1,500 pounds total. That's terrifying. Just don't die. I can't really speed in it. 215 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:22,080 This is true. I heard a, I heard a great quote about the Cappuccino is that it's more fun to drive 216 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,080 than like, you know, a Lamborghini or anything like that. Cause you're driving around town 217 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,880 and you get to shift five times, whereas they barely get out of first. 218 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:35,440 You'll also get more looks in this, I bet. Yeah. They're apparently pretty rare as well. 219 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,360 I guarantee you, you will get looks in this thing. If you haven't told, I'm sure you get looks. 220 00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:45,280 Maybe. I don't know. Cause you're, you're probably busy. He's never driven stick before. 221 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,440 This is, I've been learning on this. Yeah. So like, man, I was sitting in the passenger seat, 222 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,920 dude, you're getting looks. You're probably just so focused on like, oh my God. Oh my God, there's 223 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:59,040 this stuff like, I'm right, I'm right side drive. Yeah. I'm learning to drive right side drive and 224 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,360 stick at the same time. So you're probably just not noticing it. You will notice it. Okay. 225 00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:07,680 This thing is so cute. That's scary. Man, we could do it, man. Oh man, I'm just looking at this, 226 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:13,520 going like, man, like a bubblegum pink or something like that. Something, something. The thing is that 227 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,400 when I got this, I thought it would just be like a cute little car for me. I didn't realize that it 228 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:24,400 would probably get looks. And I don't know how I feel about that as much anymore. Oh, what? Yeah, 229 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,080 it's gonna get looks. Yeah, that's okay. This, this is a car that says something. It says something 230 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:36,640 about the occupant. What it says, I don't know, but it definitely says something. Unhinged. And cut. 231 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,160 Hope you've been enjoying Dan week. Thanks for checking out my whip. If you want to see some more, 232 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,240 there's other whips like I think one by Jonathan and some others. And there's always lots of float 233 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:53,520 plane exclusives on the way. Hopefully, Sammy and I make it back to the other office. Thanks for 234 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,400 subscribing to Floatplane. Yeah, we're going to just die.
