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.

00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:12.960
It's actually a 1993 Suzuki Cappuccino. I just got it in imported directly from Japan.

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.

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,

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:29.280
and then you've got the Suzuki Cappuccino. It's a two-door rear wheel drive,

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:37.120
with a 660cc three-cylinder turbocharged little engine in the front somewhere,

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.

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.360
When you buy an international auction, you only get like two pictures, and thankfully I really

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:50.800
lucked out with this one. It's got aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket RSR lowering shocks,

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:57.120
aftermarket Kendra radial tires, an aftermarket turbo blow-off valve, short shifting kit,

00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:03.760
aftermarket seats, floor mats, steering wheel. It has a roll cage installed. It runs totally fine.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

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,

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

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.

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?

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:21.360
Yeah. All right. Oh, it also talks. I forgot about that.

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.920
It talks? Yeah, it's got the automatic toll road system that they have in Japan.

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:29.840
Oh, turbo timer as well. Keep the engine on. Kind of nice.

00:02:34.320 --> 00:02:37.920
Refs to 8,000 RPM because it's a teeny tiny little motor. Pretty cool.

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:46.960
One of the other cool things it has is it's a three-piece hardtop convertible

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.

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,

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

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:08.720
graceful at it. And then each of the roof panels come off individually

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:14.960
like that. They're made of aluminum. They're super, super, super light.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:59.280
convertible. I think so. Yeah. Alcantara. And look, the trunk holds all of the roof pieces.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:47.520
underneath the engine looking at some of the diagrams there. These two boxes here for the

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:53.360
aftermarket HID headlights. And because in Canada, we have to have daytime running lights,

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

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.

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,

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,

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

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

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.

00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:32.240
It makes some good noises though. And then an aftermarket breather as well,

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

00:06:37.760 --> 00:06:42.640
tractor battery in it because they're the same size. And an original Cappuccino battery from

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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?

00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.360
I'm ready. Am I? I don't know.

00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.160
You see a belt on? Yes.

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:41.520
Oh yeah, it's very lowered. I've got some new shocks that are coming in.

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,

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.680
you know, coilover for a Suzuki Cappuccino.

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.

00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.320
Oh my God. What the f**k?

00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:18.000
What comes up to my waist?

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

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

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.

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

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,

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

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

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.

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,

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.

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

00:10:57.680 --> 00:11:03.200
automatic, but it's technically a full clutch plate, right? I prefer kind of superchargers over

00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:09.360
turbo. There are some mods that you can do for the Hayabusa engine, including superchargers. So

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

00:11:13.280 --> 00:11:20.080
component, it should be able to push around 450 horsepower. This also probably means that

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:10.560
solid state computer, latte panda, raspberry pi, something like that. Just to kind of give that

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

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

00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:24.160
far off. Hayabusa engine is about four grand. The limited slip rear differential is about four

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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,

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

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.

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.

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.920
I'm reverse compensating. Damn, dude. Who do you think you are, Drake?

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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,

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

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:18.880
lowered. Turbo timer. This car being lowered is absolutely hilarious because it's already so low

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.280
flying. Like seriously, okay, look at this.

00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:05.040
That is barely any, I could actually drive the car from the concrete.

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

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

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,

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.

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

00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:44.400
a body. Otherwise he would have, otherwise he would have, what does this thing even called?

00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:48.400
Cappuccino. Otherwise he would have taken the Cappuccino. Bring out the Cappuccino.

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

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

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

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

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,

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:18.000
but these are definitely aftermarket. They rub on the front. I'm hoping that when I

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:23.280
get this a little bit higher off the ground, they, you know, clear the fenders.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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,

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,

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

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

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

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

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,

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:49.280
but I'm guessing there's probably regulatory requirements for the size of your indicators

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.

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

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

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.

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

00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:26.080
than like, you know, a Lamborghini or anything like that. Cause you're driving around town

00:21:26.080 --> 00:21:28.880
and you get to shift five times, whereas they barely get out of first.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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,

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

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.

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,

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

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

00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:58.400
subscribing to Floatplane. Yeah, we're going to just die.
