YOU KNOW YOU OWN A REAL SUZUKI WHEN...........

Post by zook7177 »

YOU KNOW YOU OWN A REAL SUZUKI WHEN....

It's smaller than everything else on the trail

If you go to get the Sunday paper and come back on Monday without it

If you use a hose to clean the inside and the outside :D

If you own it outright

When the best route from A to B is through the mud, rockpile or over the mountain (or all of the above)

When a scratch or a dent is a beauty mark

You roll it over and don't get upset

Your mum and sister can't get in it without help

You judge every hill you see by how much fun it would be to climb :)

You search for trails in a helicopter

You puke when you see a Freelander

When you know what the wave is and you're not afraid to use it

You get custom pin-striping from trail brush

When a low-rider Suzuki pulls up next to you and you get out and bitch-slap the driver

When you take your friends wheeling and they say "What trail, i don't see a trail!"

When you've been forced to add SJ410, SJ413, sierra and Vitara to your spell-checker

Your friends won't ride with you 'cause they don't want to wind up in the desert in the middle of the night

When your boss's secretary calls to "recommend" that you wash your Suzuki

When you finally wash the mud off, everyone thinks you bought a new Suzuki

When you can see OVER a Discovery

You carry emergency supplies and clothing because you never know where you will end up

When your Bullbars battle rocks and win

When it rains and you don't care that your tops and doors are off

When you drive around to look at Christmas lights topless

When you change your plugs in the parking lot at work on a break

If your "Parts Dept." is on blocks behind your house

When you take your Mom wheeling and she has to help you flip the Suzuki back onto its wheels again

You use an ice-scraper on the INSIDE of the windshield

You get more heat from holes in the floorboards than through the heater vents

Passengers scream "DON'T ROLL IT!" when you take them wheeling

When you go to a "off road fun day" :lol: and spend the day winching Land Rovers, G wagons etc out of holes that you can drive through (even if the wife refuses to sit in the zuk while you do it)!

When the local car wash Bars you from washing it there again!

When the motor has hundreds of thousands of miles on it and still revs to the red line!

When freelander drivers avoid eye contact!

Small children point and shout muddy car!

When u cant tell the colour of the your zuki!

When its a dented, battered, rusty, and you love it

* When u realise you can park it easy in the Sydney fish markets cos its compact, and if you cant, you can always jump a gutter into a tiny spot just for a suzuki :armsup:
* When u have a rear locker and on the road it makes the whole car hop around corners!

When you can run 5psi offroad without beadlocks.

When you roll it on your first wheeling trip in it.
Then pick it up and keep going.

When you look foward to summer so you can drive home from a hot day at work in an arvo storm with the roof off.

When you can't remember the last time you wound up the windows, and they're now stuck in the 'down' position.

You know you own a Zook…

When you are told by people that it's time you grow up and by a real car (I'm almost 40yo).

When you have to oil the accelerator pedal cause it's getting a bit stiff to press down.

When you are with a group of guy's that are talking about their GTR's, Silvia's, Supra's etc and the first thought that comes to mind is not shame but these guys have small pencils

When during the winter you have to remove the floor bungs to let the water out

I got more but have to do some work now :D

hahaha this is classic ! you know you own a zook when:

... you get out of the car, and it still leans towards the drivers side.

and

... when you get into the car after a big rain, and all the water on the soft top falls onto your right arm

... when you can stand in next to the motor, and still shut the bonnet.

... you can use a 10mm spanner for removing pretty much everything.

... people look at you funny for driving a 'mini truck' but that changes when you out perform their 'monster truck'.
