Koohii stories:

1) [Johnnyltn] 25-2-2007(167): Fact: this kanji is used to denote a certain class of vehicles in Japan whose engines are under a certain size (less than 750cc I think) and are called light vehicles here. Imagine a so-called light vehicle or a light-truck with a load of spools driving down a road ever so lightly, careful not to let any of the spools roll out onto the street.

2) [paddy71] 2-2-2008(119): I want to tread lightly on the environment…. That's why I CAR-SPOOL to work everyday…. I know, lame.

3) [Katsuo] 18-2-2008(94): Suggestion: Replace "spool" with "toilet paper/roll". Reason: See my note at stalk (#715 茎). Story: You are fussy about your car and to clean it you will only dab it very lightly with toilet paper. Spool also appears in stalk (#715 茎), suspicious (#716 怪), diameter (#882 径), sutra (#1360 経).

4) [icamonkey] 28-7-2008(56): I'm such an infamously bad driver, even if I press the car's gas peddle lightly, everyone soils their pants.

5) [herman] 19-11-2008(21): Car made out of toilet paper would be very light.
