What am ?  Are you sure you want to know ?

Clearly, I am a Japanese vehicle made for their domestic market and never exported.  Yet here I am, calling the Lilac City home.

If you scanned this QR code from a tiny blue-gray thing that looks like a pregnant jelly bean but is also cuter than a basket full of puppies, you have found my Nissan Figaro.

Everyone love Figgy!

In the early 90s, Nissan created an Italian-styled retro concept car for a one-year production run only. They named it after the CEO’s favorite opera, ‘The Marriage of Figaro’. Follow this link, and you’ll learn what got me interested in Japanese imports, why I picked this car, and just how amazingly fun it can be.

If you scanned this QR code from a bizarre van that is taller than it is wide, looks like it’s from a Japanese cartoon, and rattles like an old diesel truck, you have found my Mitsubishi Delica Spacegear with the Chamonix winter package (and 2.8 inter-cooled turbo diesel). 

At 4500 lbs, a monster van in Japan!

These things are world-renowned for their four-wheel drive capability, and the first generation in Japan dates back to the late 1960s.  Follow this link, and you’ll learn cool facts, odd quirks, and the fun modifications that make this the most badass minivan that never made it to North America.

Of course, I’m more about weird cars. With just under a half-million words currently on my blog, just hit those three bars, and you’ll have a LOT of categories to browse through.

Just tap and dive in!

You will find I am very fond of Glacier Park to the point I almost have a sickness. Lot of hiking, climbing, beer drinking in the most beautiful place in the world.

If you like tales of terror, horror, and prison riots, I also drive a school bus for the local district. Yeah, some things you cannot make up.

Get in, sit down, and shut up.

Ever since I got my FFL-03 firearms license fifteen years ago and got into collecting military surplus (and the ammo it eats), I’ve been a big fan of the 2nd Amendment. Just saying.

GoatBoy out! And welcome to the herd if you so choose to join!
