You win. Is it really that easy to tell from this crappy picture?

Seriously? Suzuki Samurai aka Suzuki SJ410 aka Suzuki Jimny. I guess I'm either too old or too Canadian, because I remember these everywhere.

I figured it out right away as well. Those little taillights are unmistakable.

I don't know what the Samurai looks like off the top of my head, but I'm sure all of us Jalops can recognize certain cars just by looking at tiny parts of it. We can also even recognize their engine sounds.

I was shocked when I saw this. They are getting rarer and rarer. Finding one without rust is impossible.

07/25/2014 at 23:55

Yes. One without rust.

lonestranger > BrownMiataDieselWagon
07/25/2014 at 23:57

Yeah, they were everywhere. I still see the odd one, but never in decent shape unless it's been massively rebuilt/lifted

I only care about the 944. :P

I haven't a clue as to what's in front.

Luckily it's not that hard to find one down here without rust. Finding one that hasn't been rolled, on the other hand...

Same for me, they were sold in the small town I grew up in. There was never another dealership in town until a small Chevy dealership in the late 80's. I believe they were sold from the main machine shop. So much old school feels.

To be honest, I was more excited about the little Suzuki than the Porsche. If you're interested in the 944, it's $4400 obo. Not sure if that's a deal or not.

Oh is it yours?? I've already in the 944 biz actually :)

No, but I know the owner. Just wondering if you wanted another one :)

Fernie?

In Kamloops, we had an actual stand-alone Suzuki dealer, but I do remember little hole-in-the-wall dealers, like the Lada dealer on a tire shop's back lot, and a Skoda dealer run out of an alignment shop.

Sparwood actually, just 20 minutes from Fernie. Wish those kind of dealerships still existed.

I was close. I knew you used to live in the Kootenays. Remember when we had an Oppo map? Is that still a thing? Last time I looked at it, it was covered in Doge.

I also remember you have/had a yellow Sonoma, and you're in the 'bridge now. Am I getting creepy yet?

Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif > lonestranger
07/26/2014 at 00:40

All of this is true. The map was awesome, think it has been posted occasionally but is likely pretty much doge'd right out.

Not creepy but my waist is 32 if you need more info hahaha

Maruti Gypsy aka samurai (bet you guys didn't know about this one and yes its still made and comes with a diesel http://www.marutisuzuki.com/gypsy.aspx )

lonestranger > Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif

I just checked. The map still exists and is Doge-free, but it seems it's un-edit-able and I'm somewhere northeast of Bermuda.

Oh, well.

I mean I've decided that I want a V6 Mustang manual from 1994-2004 with less than 200k miles, it's just actually looking on CL and taking time to search that I haven't done.

Wow I didn't see this til now I'll start looking, budget?

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > catkam623 misses his 944
07/26/2014 at 20:14

No more than $3k, but the lower the price, the better, so long as it's mechanically good. Also, I'm on the east side of the state, but if the car is good enough, I'll consider ones on the other side.

No worries! Any help is appreciated. I don't want to be a burden or take any time from your life just to help me out. Take as long a break as you need. Or even stop if need be.
