1987 Suzuki Samurai 17k Miles One Owner on 2040-cars
Lansing, Michigan, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Suzuki
Drive Type: 4WD
Model: Samurai
Mileage: 17,412
Trim: Standard
As the title says, this is a 1987 Samurai with 17K original, one owner miles. The vehicle spent the majority of its life in Florida until three years ago when it was shipped to Michigan. It has NOT been exposed to Michigan winters. The Samurai drives like one would expect of a 17K mile vehicle. The engine runs perfectly with zero issues. The four wheel drive, including the manual lockouts, function as they should with zero issues. The truck is completely rust free with exception of a quarter size bubble in the bed area. Again, this is a bubble and not rusted through. Everything is original on the truck except the tires and the top. Even the brakes are original! The only known issue is the heater blower stopped working a couple weeks ago. I have not had time to diagnose the problem. It is a strong possibility that the blower motor will be repaired before the auction ends. The Suzuki has seen minimal trail riding (nothing close to extreme or abusive) and therefore does have fine scratches here and there. Also, the tailgate somehow got tweaked and when closed the bottom sticks out about a half inch. It still latches securely without any play.
This truck is ready to make a trip anywhere without worry. At 30+ MPG, this is great economical fun! If you would like to see specific pictures please let me know and I will do my best to get them to you within 24 hours. Please remember that bidding is legally binding. If needed, please ask your significant other before bidding. A $250 deposit is due within 12 hours of the close of the auction with the remainder due at pickup with a certified check from a reputable bank or cash. If you would like to speak in person please give me a call at (517)214-6688. Bid high, bid often, and happy bidding!

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Suzuki recalling 184k GM-built models for fire risk
Fri, 23 May 2014Suzuki is recalling 184,244 total units of the 2004-2008 Forenza (pictured above) and 2005-2008 Reno manufactured under contract by Daewoo, now General Motors Korea, between September 1, 2003, through July 30, 2008, for a risk of fire. The exact split in terms of number of each model isn't available yet.
In the vehicles, the heat generated in the headlight switch or daytime running light module could cause the parts to melt and cause a fire. If this sounds somewhat familiar, it's the same reason that 218,000 units of the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Aveo are being recalled. According to General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler: "It's the same issue."
Adler explained that as the contracted manufacturer, GM is responsible for finding a remedy to this problem and providing it to Suzuki. It's a similar situation as Toyota recalling the Matrix and giving the automaker the repair parts to fix the Pontiac Vibe, which shares the platform.
Ugly Moto makes beautiful motorcycle art [w/video]
Thu, 08 May 2014Ugly Moto is a horrible name for a company that makes such wonderful motorcycle art. The creation of artist Francis Ooi, the company's illustrations focus on some of the iconic racing bikes of the 1960s and 1970s.
The artwork has an elegant simplicity that really makes it pop. It would fit just about anywhere from a home office to the bedroom of a young gearhead. Ooi has completed six illustrations so far covering classic cycles from Honda, Ducati, Yamaha and even Harley-Davidson. According to his site, the Suzuki RGB500 ridden by Barry Sheene will be the next one released. All of the prints are priced at $65 and are limited to 100 copies. They are all about 16.53 inches by 23.58 inches in size.
According to his website, these prints are just a hobby for Ooi and his real career is as the creative director at an ad agency. He creates the illustrations on his Mac, and he estimates that each design with about 800 components and layers takes about a month to complete. You can get idea of the process involved in the time-lapse video below.
