re: Suzuki Samauri - coonass midlife crisis vehicle

Don’t feed the troll

Friend had one in early 90's and it was a decent car for a guy 18-21. That damn thing was loud as hell inside on the highway though could barely hear the other person or the radio.

If you're a real baller you can get you a barbie benz jeep



I saw one parked in the CBD a few weeks ago and almost crashed doing a double take.

I had one back in the 90's and absolutely loved it. We were getting pounded with snow and I was getting tired of putting chains on my old pickup every other day just to get up and down a few hills on the way to work. Drove by a car dealer and setting on top of this giant snow pile was a Samauri. Pulled in and took it home. It would literally go anywhere. I never felt like it was going to roll over as long as I stayed within the speed limits, but heck, it would hardly exceed the speed limit. The one thing that was a little scary was wind gusts. They would come out of nowhere and shove you across the lane. A little unnerving at first but I like a bit of excitement. I'll never forgot driving to a football game with my buddy when a gust hit us and he screamed like a little girl. LOL! I make fun of him to this day.
The only criticism I have is the soft cover on the spare. Had a flat one time and found out someone had inserted a knife blade through the cover and the tire. Two things I've learned are people are pigs and a$$e$.

One of my best friends had one for years. In low 4x4, it would creep along slowly while idling. We would take it out and find old trails through the Ozarks, put it in low, then climb up and sit on the top and steer it with our feet while we drank beer and smoked the devils lettuce. Good times.
