YOU KNOW YOU OWN A REAL SUZUKI ....
It's smaller than everything else on the trail
If you go to get the Sunday paper and come back on Monday without it
If you use a hose to clean the inside and the outside
If you own it outright
When the best route from A to B is through the mud, rockpile or over the mountain (or all of the above)
When a scratch or a dent is a beauty mark
You roll it over and don't get upset
Your mum and sister can't get in it without help
You judge every hill you see by how much fun it would be to climb
You search for trails in a helicopter
You puke when you see a Freelander
When you know what the wave is and you're not afraid to use it
You get custom pin-striping from trail brush
When a low-rider Suzuki pulls up next to you and you get out and bitch-slap the driver
If it takes more than 6 hours to get donuts
When you pull into the unploughed parking spots on snowy days
When you take your friends wheeling and they say "What trail –I don't see a trail!"
When you've been forced to add SJ410, SJ413, Santana and Vitara to your spell-checker
Your friends won't ride with you 'cause they don't want to wind up in the desert in the middle of the night
When your boss's secretary calls to "recommend" that you wash your Suzuki
When you finally wash the mud off, everyone thinks you bought a new Suzuki
When you can see OVER a Discovery
You carry emergency supplies and clothing because you never know where you will end up
When your Bullbars battle rocks and win
When it rains and you don't care that your tops and doors are off
When you drive around to look at Christmas lights topless
When you change your plugs in the parking lot at work on a break
If your "Parts Dept." is on blocks behind your house
When you take your Mom wheeling and she has to help you flip the Suzuki back onto its wheels again
You use an ice-scraper on the INSIDE of the windshield
You get more heat from holes in the floorboards than through the heater vents
Passengers scream "DON'T ROLL IT!" when you take them wheeling

-
land what ? OH MY WIFES CUTE LITTLE " SUV "
-
When Jeep guys say, "Can I get a tug out of this hole you just drove through."
-

Are those actual trucks or are they uni-bodies?
-
... You get asked "why do you have mud on the roof?" and just smile.
-
THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A VERY WISE MAN
-
I resemble all the above remarks. I must have a real suzuki ..or two or more some of them still have most of there parts,
-
WOW! most of those apply to me.... :-[
-
I'm sorry.
I put the top up when it rains. ;D
The rest, I love.
I dont know about roll-overs and hope I never do. ;)
You get more heat from holes in the floorboards than through the heater vents
What holes? ;) ;D
-
WOW! most of those apply to me.... :-[
::)
-
When you carry a paper-clip in the glove box, to read out ECM codes.
When you have a 2,600 pound vehicle that rides the same height as one of those big F-350 Super Duty Duallies.
When total strangers stop you to ask why you have that "breather thing" (snorkel).
When you consider a Jeep TJ to be "big as an aircraft carrier".
-
I must not own a suzuki cause mine is lowerd. and my heat comes from the heater vents and its very well and warm. And my sidekick is bigger and roomier then my jeep tj just not higher? But those are funny maybe you should just change the name of the article to a off road vehicel?

There's one in mine right now!
-

No WAY. The Wrangler's HOOD is almost as big as my Kick, and the Wrangler is a good 4 to 6 inches wider. That's easy to see, when you follow one on a narrow trail, and the Wrangler has to squeeze through spaces you just breeze through.
-
I have a 4dr sport sidekick and its width it the exact same as the sport the i have which is 66.7 and my jeep is 66.7, Length on a jeep tj is 155.4 length on my sidekick sport is 162.4. so if you have a two door yeah its smaller but the sport is bigger.
-
if you have a two door yeah its smaller but the sport is bigger.
That would be it - I have a 2-door, non-sport (narrower).
Beauty... (click to enlarge)

The overall size is smaller but the back seat is roomier than the back seat of a jeep. I have had many people jump in the back of mine after riding in the back of a jeep comment that it is roomier ;D
Roomier inside, smaller footprint, you can beat em. 8)

When the motor has hundreds of thousands of miles on it and still revs to the red line!
When freelander drivers avoid eye contact!

I have five:
If your spelling, grammar, and sentence structure, reflects your decision to quit school at or about the 6th grade, when posting.
You need a part, but don't want to pay more than 10% of the original cost, and want shipping included.
Have 5 Zuks for spares.
Contact a used parts vendor to purchase an ashtray for your Samurai, you ask how much?, are quoted $5 + $5 shipping.......then ask for a picture of it!!
If you are offended by the previous 4 reasons, then you know your a Zuk owner.

When you hold your transmission in your left hand while bolting it to the engine
When you say its a Suzuki.
When 65 hp is a lot of power.
When a 1.6 is a big block.
When you don't care about your top speed.
When after purchase and mods yours is still cheaper than a 92 yj.
Calling junk yards every day for a month to get parts to save 5 dollars.
Knowing that the only car wash for the past two years is rain and puddles.
Not knowing your "actual speed"
Your significant other points out suzukis to her friends and gets excited over it.
