For sale is my 1986 Suzuki Samurai with less than 81000 original miles.  It has been repainted and reupholstered by the original owner.  Other than a Weber carb I had installed on it last year, it is all original with no modifications.  It has a full top and bikini top.  The rear seat is perfect and is kept in storage since I never needed it.  The rear brakes were replaced and a new clutch and cable were installed this year.  It uses a little oil but not much.  It did get over 30 mpg average with the original Hitachi carburetor, gets only 28-29 now with the Weber but runs like a new one and will cruise at 70 mph.  It has a Pioneer stereo with 2 USB and 1 aux inputs, CD player, and 4 speakers.  There is a box of spare parts including a complete Hitachi carb that probably needs rebuilding, some lights, new weather stripping for the windows, 2 new Pioneer speakers, and I don't know what else there is.  The two tops are getting some sun rot on the straps but both work well and should be good for a couple more years.

I bought this Samurai from a dealer in El Paso in June 2009 when it has 66134 miles on it.  It had spent its entire life in New Mexico so there's no rust except on the cheap aftermarket wheels.  The tires still had the chalk marks when I got it and the spare still does, it has never been on the road.  I've used it as a semi-daily driver but don't drive much since I'm 62 and retired.  We used it very much like a golf cart in our small community, just driving around and admiring the sunset and having a cold one or two.  We took it to the beach in Galveston one time and that's the only time it's been off road since I've had it.

The original owner told me that he had towed it sometimes behind his motorhome into the mountains in New Mexico and it has a collapsible and removable tow bar.  I towed it back from El Paso to our home south of Houston with a Toyota Tacoma and it tows just great.

 

I'm asking $5500 obo and have it listed it locally so reserve the right to sell it outside ebay.  It's hunting season now and this Samurai is ready to go just like it is.

This is the facelifted Suzuki SX4 that we won't get

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

The car you see above is, according to China Car Times, the facelifted Suzuki SX4 crossover. We've always had a soft spot for the SX4, so the fact that it's finally getting a significant update makes us a wee bit sad - after all, Suzuki just announced late last year that it's leaving the US market, so we'll never get this upgraded little 'ute on our shores.
Changes we can see include aggressively resculpted lighting units, interesting mold lines on the front bumper cap, redesigned air intakes and unique trim fillets on the doors.
At least we can take solace in the fact that there apparently aren't any significant alterations under the new bodywork, so our crop of used SX4s should be just as capable out on the road. In China, Suzuki's 1.6- and 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines are expected to carry over to the new year, along with the current model's CVT and manual drivelines.

Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?

Land-speed racer Bill Warner dies from motorcycle crash at 285 MPH

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Motorcycle land-speed record holder Bill Warner died yesterday after crashing during an attempt at setting another record. The 44-year-old was clocked at 285 miles per hour on the runway of a former air base in northern Maine, before he lost control of his modified Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle and veered off the runway.
It is not known what speed he was traveling when things started to go wrong and unclear what caused the crash, which happened shortly before 10:00 AM. Warner's crew suspect there were mechanical difficulties on his last run, in addition to a slight breeze, according to the video news report. Warner was conscious and able to speak after the crash but died an hour and 15 minutes later at a hospital in Caribou. The event and runway were closed for the rest of the day as police investigated the incident.
Warner was participating in "The Maine Event" at Loring Air Force Base in an attempt to reach 300 mph in one mile. Warner's best land-speed record, set in 2011, was 311.945 mph in 1.5 miles on the same runway, according to the Loring Timing Association, a record that still stands today for open-cockpit motorcycles. After that run, Warner said the scariest part was stopping the bike before the end of the runway. Be sure to check out the video news report after the jump.
