There's a crack down the front windshield, one of the rims is broken and the inside is covered in a layer of dust. Its silver exterior peaks out in splotches from underneath the remains of a red vinyl wrap thanks to an attempted DIY removal that was cut short by last year's summer heat.
If all goes according to plan, the truck will soon be outfitted with new tires, a slate blue vinyl wrap and some additional kitchen gear. The Yagis hope to bring the vehicle to life with a cartoon version of Ellie Yagi on the main door, a design of dumplings on the back of the truck, the Yagi name spelt out in Japanese on the hood, a pride rainbow that will wrap along the truck and a funky horn.
"Being Japanese for my family was very hard when they were younger; like when my dad was a kid, he wasn't taught Japanese because it was very important for people to see you as white. My grandparents knew people that were in the internment camps," she said. "For me, it's more so taking back the culture and being proud of it."
