hijet jumbo - my new car crush

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Okinawa, 2023.05.01

This is a Daihatsu Hijet Jumbo kei-truck. Because men in Japan are now five centimeters taller than they were in the years after the war when the kei standards were set, the manufacturers are now bending the standard by having an extended part of the cab hang over the bed, which maintains the standard 1,900mm length. I'm 195cm and might even fit in one of these.

A creative person would prefer their music to be stolen and enjoyed than ignored. This is the dilemma for every creative soul: he or she would prefer to starve and be heard than to eat well and be ignored.

—Pete Townshend
