    As a resident of Maine, I can say I'm simply blown away by this act to ban "off road vehicles". I've seen so many jacked-up, janky looking trucks and cars driving around town you wouldn't even bat an eye when compared to those vans. Also, this news personally crushes any hopes and dreams i had of making my racing mower street legal.

    • @nowiecoche

      I feel bad for Maine residents. The state government's excuse sounds such a complete BS to me. Where did the "off-road vehicle ban" come from "25-year-old waiting period"? It just sounds totally scummy and just targets international off-road imports than any domestic off-road vehicles that are roaming freely around the US.

      True- Even funnier, anyone here with a "real" car older then 25 years, can get an antique plate, and be exempt from safety testing. Ostensibly for historically important vehicles, but antique plates more often just get slapped on pieces of crap that failed the safety inspection. That said, I get the issue with Delicas. Kei-trucks do not meet safety standards, and generally not legal anywhere. The delicas slipped in due to a loophole. Some kei-trucks have been registered here as "LSVs" like street-legal gold carts, but again, not technically legal either-

But as you watch more and more videos you realize that Nolan is actually the best.

      Actually, rust is a huge problem in Japan, and its a problem for the Delica too. However, it costs like 4k just to ship a vehicle from Japan, so importers generally cherrypick rarer clean vehicles to ship to the US. Its why it's hard to find L300s for less than 14k in the US. Meanwhile, in Okinawa, I remember seeing ratty ones going for about 2k.

    Those Delica's are kinda common in Australia too.
    Since we're also right hand drive, importing them are pretty easy.
    JDM vehicles have very poor side impact protection, when they're imported to Australia most of the time, they need to have crash bars added to the doors.
    The Delica's have a reputation for being very unstable

    They were also made in Taiwan in LHD including the 4x4 versions, cab chassis versions and even pickup versions which is really different. We also got them new in Australia for many years as the Mitsubishi Express van till around 2014 - I've driven a couple including a brand new one. They were the cheapest van on the market and the design was unchanged since the 80s, no airbags, 80s dash, they just upgraded the engine and newer headlights. Also I've seen an guy on Instagram who is in Taiwan who exports LHD off road Delica vans to the US.

    The Delica has a US cousin. Mitubishi made a van with the same body (minus the 4x4 and turbo diesel) in the 80s. I dont understand why Maine does not allow the Delica, if there is a similar version stateside.

    • @syxepop
      @syxepop 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's EXACTLY what I was telling! The Delica 3G was sold as the Mitsubishi Van and Wagon with a gas 101hp (more than any of the TD) NA-2.4L.
      I think it may be a "tree-hugging" politician issue (ME is one of the "CARB 11" States, as is almost all of New England as south as NJ).

    I had an early 90s fwd mits wagon. I think technically an l300. I hauled a motorcycle in it :) the 2nd row had captains chairs that slid forward and back and rotated 180 degrees. It was a cool van. Was weird to reach out the window and touch the tire :)

    the delica is phenomenal slow fast feeling car, loud, bumpy feels like it'll tip at any second because the body moves while the chassis stays firmly planted. my kids love the one we are fixing up and enjoying.

    During the peak of second-hand imports in the Philippines, many, including me, took the Delica for granted and dismissed it as an ugly, dirt cheap van for budget conscious families. Now that these beasts are considered cool, many of the local Delicas have sadly already been scrapped or severely neglected. Never knew you had something great until it was gone

    • @stupidongpinoy
      @stupidongpinoy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Most delicas are being used as a delivery van for water refilling stations and the prices still now is dirt cheap. With the westerners appreciation, it may cause a spike of prices here in the Phils.

    Delicas used to be a fairly common sight here in the Philippines during the early 2000s, alongside the badge-engineered Hyundai Grace. My old man had one of them 4WD models until he wrote it off in an accident due to a counterfeit tie rod used to repair the van's steering. He bought a Pajero shortly after, which indeed ran on a similar platform with the 4WD Delica.

    I am a 53 year old Australian and I learned to drive on what later became the delica. It was called the L300 4x4 . I believe that model was the only one that came new to Australia but later we got the JDM ones because it didn’t match anything made here.Loved the high seating position without the bonnet in the front. I don’t know what the collision rating was but I loved it anyway. As with any Mitsubishi today I would not buy one because of the plastics that perish and go brittle.

    A loophole is to set up an LLC through a lawyer in another state that has looser regulations (or lower fees) and register it as a company car.
