Wiper

Inasmuch as you want to know where the windshield wiper fluid goes in the keitora*:

Open the passenger door. That’s right, I’m showing you from the wrong side.

In front of both the driver’s seat (shown) and the passenger seat is a fabric cover. Lift it up.

Lift and disengage each latch. Now you can pull the horizontal cushion out to reveal the engine atop which you are sitting while driving / riding.

In the case of the driver’s seat, the bottom cushion remains attached to the vertical seat back. The passenger seat cushion comes off completely.

Now you know why it feels warm after a long drive. Although I have to say it’s not so pronounced, considering that your butt is mere centimeters from 660 CCs of the finest internal combustion.

I love how the road surface is utterly visible from here. Please, no movie stunts taking advantage of this.

And there it is. The positioning of the engine is a lot fun. As is driving the keitora itself. With our other car totaled by the hail of September 19, my wife has been driving the keitora. She raves about its high perspective, near-total visibility from the driver’s seat, and turn radius.

I bought it for around 500,000 yen when it had 15,000 kilometers on it. It has never had a failure. It has moved the possessions of dozens of people, including our household twice. It has fetched many a fine piece of furniture from affluent central Tokyo households needing to divest quickly. It is borrowed by the neighborhood association, the festival, the member of parliament, and several other regulars throughout the year. What a champion. I should clean it up nicer.

*A 2002 Mitsubishi Minicab, anyway.
