Hey everyone,

I didn't see any introductory threads so I figured I'd post it here to say hello to everyone.

I'm from Toronto, and currently do not own but looking to purchase a sidekick, for driving around and off-roading purposes. So I figured I'd join this nifty lil place here and see if I can #1 make some zuki friends and #2 FIND ONE!!!

Thank you all for taking the time to read my cheesey little introduction speech, its not much, but at least I made an effort.  :D

THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS!   >:D :laugh:

Honestly, jump a JetBlue flight to FLA or similar southern state and buy a rust free Kicker.  You'll be VERY happy you did.  when these start to rust, it spreads quickly, and road salt only makes it faster.

I agree, you won't find a really good one unless you find something out west, or down south.

welcome to the board prrrfukt. I too am a fan of your e-mail addy ;)
i'm sure there are some fellow zukers in your neck of the woods. be cautious buying a zuk where your at because like these other guys said, the rust is very sneaky! You would be better off to find one somewhere else and drive it home.
it's awesome to see females rockin our sport 8) i have a daughter that turned out a zuk freak just like her dad( makes daddy proud :'( )!!

Welcome!

Yeah, rust free is hard to find, but not impossible. I just picked up a 1995 with minimal surface rust. I think that it had been garaged. I do have a couple spots to maintain, but they're pretty easy to work on.

Don't be afraid to pay a couple extra bucks to get a clean one. You'll end up money ahead.
