When I was a kid I remember my father buying his Suzuki
Samurai. It was the coolest car EVER because he got to drive it out of the show
room and down about twenty or thirty steps to the parking lot! I remember at
the age of 8 sitting the driver’s seat killing it twenty times before I finally
got the clutch to work and speeding off down the road. I remember my dad
attempting to drive it up our Crazy driveway in 2-3 feet of snow and having it
sideways, backwards, spinning, and everything else before Finally making it to
the top. And sadly, I remember the day I gave him the O.K. to sell it as I
would not have my driver’s license for a long time and might not want it as my
first car. What a mistake! I have wanted one since and have never had an
opportunity to purchase one. Except the opportunity did arrive in October of
2012 when I was informed that my DAD’s Suzuki was being put up for sale. Not
only did I buy it, but everything worked out so that the day I purchased my
father’s Suzuki back was on, what would have been, his birthday. It definitely
is Not perfect: a horrid orange color now, barely runs, parts to replace, and it is
nowhere near passing smog. But it was my dad’s and now it is mine as it should
have been. Not to mention this is the first vehicle I have ever purchased on my
own! Two birds with one stone! I am sure I will update this often as work goes
into it.
