    New guy here!

    Hi folks, brand new here, and the proud owner of a barebones base model k13 2015.
    I'm Mike, and I'm a recovering truck junkie who tired of his massive chevy's and became fanatical about kei cars. So I traded my beast in for my little blue turd. I'm here to learn, tune, and am stoked to join a community of micra/march owners!

    Hey, welcome. That's a big switch from fullsize pickups to a Micra.

    Funny: I was just talking to a buddy yesterday who's fixing up a Ram with a Cummins in it, and he said to me: "I really want to get one of those tiny pickups too."

    I said, "Oh, like one of those Kei trucks? I see them for sale every once in a while."

    His reply: "No, I mean something like a Chevy S-10." HA! Tiny truck! It's all a matter of perspective, I guess.

    Coincidentally, not 2 minutes later, we passed a Suzuki Carry kei truck.

    Ironically, I lived in Tokyo in 2007, and drove a Diahatsu Midget II. Lol.

    I passed a pickup like this on the 416 northbound this morning. I'm pretty sure it's the same model, right hand driving. Too funny.

    I'm surprised that can go fast enough to get on the 416!

    LOL. I never drive above 120, and I believe I shouldn't try it yet either, I have less than 5000km on the engine. I have no issue driving 120 with it. mileage drops, but I'm used to big HEMIs, those are still sipping in my book.
