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

That expression… it almost feels like he’s trying to tell me something.

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

A handy little vehicle you can drive with a regular license.
Under the Road Traffic Act, it’s treated as a moped, and its legal speed limit is apparently 60 km/h.
I see! So that’s why he looked so sad: nobody had taken him home yet!

It’s stylish, almost like a convertible!
There’s even a cargo bed in the back! It would make a great official car for Nishitsu, and it seems perfect for our “takeout coverage” trips!

Just as I was thinking that, the manager of “まっつんパワーモータース,” the owner, came out to talk to us.
He told us, “It’ll be gone soon. It sold at auction!”
It seems Mitsuo has found a new owner after all.

Now that he said that, Mitsuo’s face even started to look a little pleased, almost like he was grinning.
Turns out Mitsuo was actually quite popular.
Hang in there, Mitsuo.
Here’s where “Mitsuo” is on the map↓
The address is 8-21-103 Koshien Amabiki-cho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
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 say “congratulations” to Mitsuo in your heart♪
If you want to go see him, make it soon.
By the way, at “まっつんパワーモータース,” it seems 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?
