[@CheekyChan]

As someone who owns a 2002 Grand Vitara 4x4 V6 for fun, it was nice seeing Suzuki's lesser known vehicles get some love. Suzuki doesn't have a BAD car under their belt, they just had a bad rep because they got chased out of the US by lying journalists and thus, it's REALLY hard to find parts for these things now. The fact you found another one in a junkyard is completely insane. The small foot print and decent power and GREAT transmissions these things have mean they can go pretty much ANYWHERE, I take mine on trails not even a Tacoma or 2 seater Jeep can go.

[@susan_beaver]

Thanks for making this into a full video! I've seen your shorts pop up but I really prefer the longer format!

I bought a Suzuki Jimny (similar car to the X90 but smaller) last year for my girlfriend, but we literally did the opposite to you :P It's tiny and easy to park so suited her perfect, but it came with lots of off-roading mods, so I removed a bullbar, snorkel, towbar, spare wheel and put summer tyres on it. I saved 160lbs and it went from getting 200 miles to a tank, to getting 300 miles to a tank. Works out at nearly 35 mpg (or about 42mpg for us in the UK)

( had a tire blow out in Minneapolis but that owner of the shop stayed late so i didn't have to sleep in his parking lo t) At some point my Alternator died at just the perfect spot that I was able to fix it fine myself (thankfully i didn't have to slam it with a hammer but i could have probably got the rest of the way with some hammer slamming). Driving cross country is just so fun in a beater. I got around 45 mpg with my car and ill never be able to replicate that sadly. I miss that Honda. at one point i paid like $1.11 for gas it was insane
