Is kitsch the right word?

Andrew here. I'm going to take advantage of (abuse?) the new posting rights Sarah granted me on the team blog by sharing this mid-90's ad I found for the Daihatsu Hijet. As far as I'm concerned, it's always about quantity.

There's currently a question about whether our particular Hijet will meet the requirements put forth under the rally's new Ten-year Rule (in short, that cars must be less than 10 years old). We're waiting on a check of the original registration papers and then we'll know if we squeak in with it or not.

PS: The very first episode of MTV's show Pimp My Ride featured a Hijet. Procurement is left as an exercise for the reader.
