I have no clue where it came from, but its got a place in my heart.
On the comments about rather owning a jeep, EVERYONE owns jeeps. jeeps jeeps jeeps is all I hear, have you any clue how much most of the aftermarket stuff costs for jeeps? FAR more expensive than samurais. Also, to me, a jeep for most people is the status symbol of yuppie.
I've considered doing an engine swap, and sometime down the line I might. The thing is, that I can live with it untill I can afford 4.16 T-case gears which will help out with that. Samurais are very capable offroad and... well I don't know.. I love 'em.

At first I did want to build up a fullsize chevy, but the insurance and gas costs are nuts for a highschool student! Im in grade 11.

Suzukis are NOT very common where I am, I've been looking for 5 months now (at least) and this is the first decent one I've seen for sale.

If I do any engine swap it will be a 1.6L DOHC 16v. That seems tiny, but it has well over 100hp and it makes a Samurai go faster than I want to drive something with the aerodynamics of a lunchbox on wheels!

Keep in mind that Samurais come stock with a 1.3L SOHC and the earlier ones had 1L engines.

Don't even mention them being tippy!! Its all how you drive them, I dont want to take a Samurai through cones at high speeds, take it autocrossing, or even turn corners at 80 like the kids driving preludes and that other junk. Ignorant people really piss me off when it comes to this;

ignorant person: You want a Samurai!? those are the tippiest of the tippy.
Me: Thats a myth, what do you base your oppinions on?
ignorant person: well, de uhhhh consumer reports told me so..

Some people are such sheep.

--Wow that got long winded.
