This is what I DD around now. The AE92 is too costly and parts are too rare (at least locally) to drive on these pothole-ridden roads (which are sometimes unexpectedly nonexistant depending on construction and weather conditions), but I did it for a couple of years...I just went through suspension parts very quickly.
Even with the bigass mud tires the Samurai still gets around 34MPG, more than a late model American 4-door sedan! Plus now I don't need to turn back when I would need to climb a curb or wade through a pond or deep mud pit. Also it's as simple as a 4WD go kart so there isn't much to break or malfunction <--jinxes self.


I paid a whopping $300 for it 2 months ago (a little more than 2 months actually). It has helped us vacate the location we were in, it runs all over town picking up and delivering whatever we ask of it. the front suspension clunks, I'm pretty sure it needs an axle. It has no power windows or locks.
But the dang thing doesn't like to go over 2k without bucking. it's up for sale because I don't want to spend the time putting ing the KS and o2 that the codes came up for. For now it stays parked most of the time with only backup duty when absolutely needed, like today 

Sorry for the large picture, it's all I have on my website right now...
1.5L and about 85 hp, I think. 13" wheels and a five speed. Manual windows, manual steering, manual seats and no a/c. Intermittent CEL. It's needed an oil filler cap, thermostat, tie rod end, O2 sensor and an oil change. Oh, headlights and tail lights, to boot. I picked it for $1k. Best mileage before the O2 sensor was 43 mpg, 38 afterwards. I put about 900 miles a week on it. Looking to upgrade the brakes and wheels. Any brakes that fit under 13" wheels make me nervous...
Trying to decide what's going to replace it next. I'm thinking of a Mini Cooper, Prelude or an MR-2. Something light, fun to drive and not useless in the snow.
D'oh! I can't add, it's more like 460 miles a week.
