On the way back from an interview, at dusk, Mitsuo and I crossed paths.
Mitsuo gazed at me with such a wistful expression.

That look… it almost felt like he was trying to tell me something.

Since it’s a microcar made by Mitsuoka Motor, it’s “Mitsuo.”
Apparently, the model is called the “MC-1.”
Those eyebrows are just too cute.

The best part is, you can drive it with a regular driver’s license.
Under the Road Traffic Act, it’s treated like a motorized bicycle, and the legal speed limit is apparently 60 km/h.
I see! He looked so sad because no one had taken him in yet!

It’s stylish, almost like a convertible!
There’s even a cargo bed in the back!It could totally work as Nishi2’s official car for “takeout coverage”!

Just as I was thinking that, the manager of the owner’s shop, “まっつんパワーモータース,” came outside.
He told me, “It’ll be gone soon—it sold at auction!”
It seems Mitsuo has found a new owner.

Once I heard that, his expression started to look a little happy, almost like he was grinning.
Turns out Mitsuo was quite the popular guy.
Good luck, Mitsuo.
Here’s where “Mitsuo” is on the map↓
The address is 8−21−103 Koshien Amibikicho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.
In Closing
Mitsuo is at “まっつんパワーモータース”, near the intersection of Rinko Line and Nakatsuhama Line.
If you happen to pass by, please give Mitsuo a little “congratulations” in your heart♪
If you want to go see him, you’d better hurry.
By the way, at “まっつんパワーモータース,” it sounds like you can casually ask about anything motorcycle-related, from sales to inspections, repairs, and custom work!If you love motorcycles, why not stop by sometime?
