Coolest little 4X4

1990 Suzuki Samurai JL 2dr SUV 4WD
I got my Samurai for an even trade of a 96 Taurus. The Taurus was more powerful, plush and comfortable. But I definitely made the right decision. My Samurai has personality, easy to work on and definitely fits me personally. I love the look, style of this vehicle, I just love driving this vehicle.

The car just makes me smile! Our car is a 1986 Suzuki Samurai with fiberglass hard top and beautiful big windows only one previous owner and he took excellent care of it. Had 93,000 miles on it when purchased in September and we have put a little over 500 on it. Fun car just to have an enjoy!

I use this vehicle for a work truck to commute to work 15 miles one way. It's very reliable and easy to work on for regular maintenance. Damn thing just goes and goes, without sticker shock at the gas pump. Can't wait to take it off-road and see what tight spots it can navigate.
