I got a couple Suzuki Samurai's but I want a Monte Carlo, my second car. I love them. Mine had a 283, built with a friend that died years later and that killed me as a person. But building out a Monte in New England in February is not a light task.

I miss you Joe, I am so glad I could say goodbye.

+1 for Suzuki Samurai. I want my 1992 Suzuki Samurai back.

Not a 1992 Suzuki Samurai. That specific Samurai (it doesn't exist any more, my brother totalled it).

It was the fuel-injected engine instead of the carbureted. Could go anywhere, anytime. Got like 500 miles to the gallon.

    The EFI's were way more fun than the carbureted. Ive had a 1987, 1993, currently have a 1990 (oem restored) and a 1994 w/ a blown motor.

    They wheel like a dream. And your right that little gas tank could take half way around the world before you needed a refill!

    I'm often reminded of my Geo Tracker and think "I can fix him". It just wasn't the right time to have a rusted-out, holey-framed, bad-on-the-highway vehicle with basically neither cargo nor passenger capacity. But there's something special and forgotten about having a Miata-length vehicle of any kind.
