    Once upon a time a stock samurai could skunk any modded, lifted vehicle on the trail. It put those expensive Jeeps to shame, and flat out embarrassed the broncos and blazers out there. It was so light and had such a short wheelbase it took serious effort to pooch one.

    Are. You. Serious? These things are a death trap even not modded. Will never be on U.S. soil again. Killed way to many people in roll overs.

    The deathtrap aspect meant that Mom wouldn't ever let me bring one home, which just made them seem that much cooler.

    They’re silly and not even a Jeep. My roommate in college had one of these. The only guy out of 20,000 on campus who had one. A lot of girls had them.
