Jake - LOL!! thats funny.

I met some guys at a BBQ a couple of weeks ago down in Florida and they were hard core Samurai fans. Both own then and explained there is a hard core cult following. I used to own one back in 1986 when they were first coming out. I love that little piece of junk. Too bad I rolled it. No joke. I totaled it in a rollover.

Yeah they really do have a following. Mine is a long wheelbase model that was never sold in the US.

I bought mine almost 3 years ago for $400. I figured I could use it as a beater. Turns out to be far more dependable than our Jetta. I did a diesel swap and now it not only goes like stink, it actually stinks.

Working on dad's AC last weekend:

My dad drove down from Montreal yesterday with his wife & dog... a 10 hour drive.

He said that at 90 mph, the dog seemed to suddenly shed 20% of his hair. There is hair EVERYWHERE in the car.

Yes, he's quite an eccentric and dashing fellah. He usually wears a moomoo in the summer, but it was cool today.

New shifter bushings this AM. Made a big difference. Still a bit stiff overall, but they say that's often the case for a few days.

Here's a couple pics of the dog seat he had made for Gus:

those were taken yesterday Craig, went to the cemetery to take pics of the gravestones for a pirate line, have tons of those.

These two were taken back in 2000. I may be going back this week. Do you have a specific shot you are looking for?

Taken this morning, he landed on the post right in front of me. I talked to it for five minutes to get a shot of it's wings again, he just ignored me even though I was right under the light post at one time. Some lady came by and yelled "HEY BUDDY!" which got him to fly over to a nearby window.

I think this urban hunter just had enough of the Ann Arbor Art Fair. That makes him just like all of us other locals.
