Yesterday, my brother and I had to go to the Home Depot to buy a new stand up shower to install in our house.  I swear, that little Sidekick I've had for 10 years now has NEVER let me down.  There was no way the huge box was going to fit in my brothers Cavalier so I took off my spare tire, threw into my brother's trunk, shut my tailgate, grabbed the box, lifted one end into the back and slid it in all the way to the front seats and that was it.  About half was sticking up in the air, but the hard top window came down just enough to give it a downward slop, tied with a string, and off we went.

I don't know if the rest of you feel this way about your vehicles...but I swear, I LOVE my Sidekick...it's almost like a person to me.  I caress it, I touch it, I tell I love it...am I nuts?

I've spent SOOO much time in my ride that I am emotionally tied to it.   A few years ago, when I used to park outside on my street, some worthless punk smashed my drivers side mirror.  The glass was not broken, but the housing was messed up.  I swear I sat at my kitchen table for hours depressed beyond belief and finally got up to duct tape the wounds.

It's taken me to work, my entire working life thus far, it's taking me on road trips, to the beach, to other towns and cities and it's always been good to me.

I don't think I will be able to part with it ever...and if I did, I would imagine that I would never be the same for the rest of my life.

I know axactly how you feel. I drive mine everywhere. We have driven it to florida twice even though I have a 91 GMC conversion van and an 01 Saturn. I drive the Tracker if its at all possible. Nothing even comes close.

HMMMMMM......  SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED A GIRLFRIEND      

if youre exhaust is glowin bright red youre runnin lean. As for loving your zook I hear ya. I have been made fun of more than a couple times for owning not one, not two not three, but 4 zook's. It all started with my first samurai about 5 years ago.

HMMMMMM......  SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED A GIRLFRIEND      

I do have a girlfriend, we've been together for 3 years.

Dude, I hear ya, my friends make fun of me too, but if I had tons of money, I swear, I'd have nothing but Suzukis of all models through out the years around my house.

There are a couple of families in Toronto that are ALL Suzuki.  I think it's refreshing, and one day when I start a family of my own, it will be the same.

Ya I love my Trackick to bits.


I've only had it since last January, but every time I get in and drive it around town, it puts a smile on my face. (and its bone stock too )

I love my trackick so much that I'm giving it a face lift next week with a 6" Calmini lift, full Calmini exhaust package, and some 31" BFG mudders  

Thanks Calmini!


Happy Zookin

Yeah, I fall under that catagory too, although, I also have to include my wife.    So far since August when we bought it we've put about 6,000 miles on our Tracker, and now here's the sad part, for my wifes 94 Escort ( which USED to be the main family vehicle) has only gone about 500 miles in that same amount of time.  Not only do I take it everywhere, but when I'm home from work (I work nights ) SHE takes the kids EVERYWHERE in it.  We both love it.  I will admit that there are times that I miss my Trooper, for that certain beater appeal it had ( the Tracker is just too nice to ruin).  Also, about losing vehicles, I still think about my first car it was a 1970 Olds 98 four door hardtop.  It was bought by my Dad 6 months before I was born, and was in the family it's whole life.  It came off the road, sat a few years, and then my Dad said it was time to go, so off to the junkyard it went.  A few days later my Dad and I both rethought our decision and decided to buy it back, but it was too late, it was sitting in a pile of cars with a Dodge Dart on the roof.  To this day it makes me hurt, to see OUR family car like that,  I was able to salvage a few emblems off of it which I still have all these years later.  Oh well, enough of me rambling on here, talk to you later,               Dave  oh and ps, I can see us having our Tracker for a LONG period of time!!!

Seems most owners of these rigs really do like them.  I can vouch for that.
The vitara is one of the most underated SUV on the market today.  Yup, its abit noisy and the ride is not buick class but it will go anywhere, turn on a dime and give nine cents worth of change, and gets good mileage to boot.

What more can you ask for?

Well........if you're mike hagen, perhaps a pilots license!  

I bought my SideKick from Royal Suzuki in San Bernardino,
in 89' it had 203 miles on it from driving it on test drives and
transporting from the dock. It has served me well, and
taken me on many an adventure, and has been more
faithfull than a dog, truley mans best friend, and now
with the Red Door (thanks to my youngest son bumping
it into revearse) the Lt. Green hood and fender support
(my bad) and all the mods, lifted and hard to steer from
no power steering (gonna fix that   ) my wife still loves
to drive it, and she has her own car too, with air power steer
easy ride and all, the Ol kick has some sort of appeal that
is hard to beat, I don't think I'll ever replace it, it will just
end up more and more modified, until it's a total tube frame.

I do have a girlfriend, we've been together for 3 years.  

OHHHH  OK     JUST CHECKING     HAPPY ZUKING! ..MATTY D.
