Long story but heres the highlights,I drove a 88 Suzuki Samurai 300 miles most of it in 4th gear with almost no clutch and no back window to trade it for a Ghia. Made it to Ft. Payne and lost a tire at 80mph ,skipped across the highway like a stone on water,Helped the AAA guy put the spare on cause we didnt think to check for a jack and tire iron before we left. I also had a nice time explaining it to 1/2 of Ft paynes finest who came out for support.2 FT Payne policeman and 1 State Trooper. All of them were real cool about it. With no tags or proper paperwork I think It went ok since I didn't even get a warning. :lol:
The car is a beater thats painted like a taxi cab or bumblee bee on crack.
But it does run pretty good when the tires stay on it.I'll be tinkering with it for awhile but its fun to drive,what else do you need?
