I am one glitch away from an almost perfect samurai.
In 1986 I flew from Ohio to Florida to buy my first brand new car. A 1986 Samurai JX.
I drove it for 5 years and put 85k miles on it (3000 in the first week - Florida to Ohio then back to North Carolina and back to Ohio). For 5 years it never hiccuped.
I drove it back a forth from middle of Ohio to Chicago every other weekend (for one year) while dating my wife.
After my 60th and final payment... somebody in a box truck waved her out around him into the path of a car (and then the guy who waved her out drove off). She was unhurt but the samurai's front axle was shifted about 5 inches to the right.
I've waited 22 years to be able to play with one again.
I am hoping by week's end to have pictures to post here.
