@DSM_OR_DIE
The 1.3 is much better than that...

@Cé-hé-sin
I would call it Mighty Boy...

@pip-bip Yes please!!! I love the last two generations of Jimny....such cool little off-roaders!

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly a lot of time, effort and money 💰 when he could have bought a lc70, but that prado is most likely an auto

@Sam-Blockhan Suzuki should return

@amoore100 I drove a Kizashi once. I seem to recall the period reviews of the car being decent. It felt like it was falling apart, and not at very high miles. I like my Saabs older and Saabier. TSX it is then.

@pip-bip one of those I’d happily drive. The other needs to get packed into an egg crate.

@pip-bip
From that brief, tantalising and yet wonderful period when everyone at Suzuki was absolutely off their chops...

@pip-bip Was briefly known as the "other Honda Civic"

@kleebrz Gotta check those things off my bucket list while I can!

@TheJWT that's very true but all the YT'ers are rolling in them.

I toy with the idea of getting a JDM car for the silliness of RHD in a LHD world and I've almost pulled the trigger on a Toyota Sera (that's actually FS again on Facebook) but the lack of parts deters me from pulling the trigger. In the Sera's case, it'd be touch easier for mechanicals with it being a fancy body on a Tercel platform.

I eyeball Integra Type R's, GC ImpreTza STi's and even EVO IV/V's but good ones are going for way more money than I want to spend.

@Just-Jeepin I like the little Japanese flat beds, but my love is an FC150 -- whichever I hopefully get to own someday, my only requirements are that they be 4x4 and a tipper bed.

@pip-bip Taranaki.

@Noodles good hooliganism right there.

(although a stock gixxer with ADV tires would do just as well on the roads/terrains shown in this video)

@AdverseMartyr Haha thank you! I'm really happy with it!

@amoore100 the only thing I see in the picture is the tiny footwell.

@Exage03040 Oh for sure, every hyper I've tried has been super docile around town, I'm just the type of dumbass that gets bored if I cant go WOT a couple times every commute, the faster the bike the more antsy I get stuck in traffic XD

If I lived in Texas or something I'd totally own a 1290 Duke

@decay-still-has-too-many-beaters I did some sport biking on sat. this coming weekend is the first track day of the year. i'm looking forward to it.

@jminer said in The GSXR Lives:

@decay-still-has-too-many-beaters excellent progress! This is how is usually tackle a big project too. Triage it and see if it runs, then spend the time and money to do it up right.

This. Even at work I'll mock up new equipment in a test environment at the shop to see that all the requisite magic happens before actually installing stuff at a remote field site.

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly said in Everything that's wrong with my new AU$1500 Suzuki Vitara:

There's no air conditioning.

Yeah. No. I'd die.

@Just-Jeepin mmmmmm mini 4WD. I'd daily it.

@Just-Jeepin I had one just like that. Loved that car. 24 year old me changed the wheels, though.

SO cute! I love boxy Suzukis ♥

@WBizarre yeah

@nick-hynds good choice for Suzuki

@jerc1500 Thank you! I got very lucky buying that Hawk, I didn't know much about bikes back then and I pretty much bought it because I liked the look of it... Little did I know it would lead me down the rabbit hole of old sportbikes

@pip-bip YAY! Suzuki Fronte! That one is a later Fronte 550! I've always loved the Front! ...and classic kei cars in general! 😄

I do like the older ones more though, like the LC20:

Luke warm take: it's better looking than the generic white crossovers being sold today.

@pip-bip All you need to do is change one letter and you could have great sales in Michigan's upper peninsula.

@stuckmtb If I ever make it to Iceland, definitely going with a Jimny rental.

@annoying_salman Maybe if you look hard enough. . .

@pip-bip Surpreendente!

@pip-bip These are the kinds of cars I would want to save, LOL

@t0ast Enjoyed that, it's funny just how much you can do with something so small! 🙂

@silentbutnotreallydeadly
Don't know the story but they're not on the road for whatever reason.

@just-jeepin
There's actually companies in the UK and NZ that does this sort of conversion...

Neither are cheap...

@wbizarre GIB the Suzuki!

@pip-bip Somewhere in a parallel universe, this is a real Ferrari - a ploy to improve corporate average fuel economy, a-la the Aston Cygnet.

@pip-bip I want all three of them. NOW! And a Pinzgauer...

@streetsofperth It does, pretty hilarious! 🙂

@pip-bip said in late night oppo:

@silentbutnotreallydeadly no, just the later 90's Opel/Vauxhall Corsa/SB Holden Barina

That's actually a downgrade....

@pip-bip
2023 Suzuki Spark concept for low socioeconomic sectors of the Canadian economic zone; sponsored by the General Motors Division of the UN International Access to Personal Transport in the First World Programme.

Also available for a third of the price in the Indian sub-continent...

@100percentjake Agreed on all points

@nauraushaun For sure:

"Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet."

"Football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars."

@jminer I think they're about as fast as bikes should be before they start getting electronic aids, that's part of the appeal of them to me

@whoistheleader Yeah, it's the newer generation model that superseded the Samurai.

@pip-bip Good night.

@longtime-lurker yup

@pip-bip GIB

@pip-bip so it's an early '90s sized hatch with early '90s tech. I like it.

@pip-bip nice rims!

@kac said in Now, why my car didn't wish me Merry Christmas?:

Suzuki Lapin

Now I want Pictochat in my car. This is adorable!
