Mint's Yaiba

Mint's Yaiba is a custom vehicle originally manufactured by Yaiba in .
==History==
This Yaiba car was obtained by Mint and Tiff some years prior to the events of , with both splinting ownership of it. They rebuilt the vehicle in the course of two years, replacing many of its pieces by new ones. This process was put on hold for six months after Mint disappeared. In that timespan, the original engine they had ordered arrived, but with no one to retrieve it, it was sent back. Afterwards, Tiff had to ask for a new one. When Mint returned to Night City, she visited Tiff due to the need of a car after the yellow Mizutani Shion MZ2 she had stolen from Green Dragon had been sized by Gorilla. It was then when they installed the new engine to the Yaiba and finished their project. They had built that car for just one purpose, drifting.
Mint brought the Yaiba to the Serpent in the Badlands for testing, a place her father, Jeremy Taylor, used for practising as well. She indented to beat her father's best time of a consecutive drift, though she didn't manage to do so.
After the retrieval of Kickdown by the NCPD, Mint left the Yaiba behind, either abandoned or in possession of the police. Mint replaced it with the yellow Mizutani Shion she had taken back.
