GM kinda did distribute them but they were Geo Trackers. Not exactly just a rebadged Vitara but they were developed with Suzuki. So at one point there was the Suzuki Sidekick, Geo Tracker, and then Chevy Tracker and they were all almost the same car:

Cool! I think we got the Vitara here for a bit as the Sidekick. My Dad had one for a bit. I just remember feeling like it was going to blow over in the wind. (We live a very flat, open, and windy part of the country). And we had a Jimny (Samuri here) that my sister learned to drive stick in. They still hold their…

One of the things I love most about Japanese car culture, there is always something weird and interesting.

Hydrogen fuel is an unlimited resource if they would just lift the ban on mining unicorn farts and feed them enough burritos.

Like I said, all walks of life. You should see the amount of private jets that fly into Daytona International for the race. They have to close down one of the runways and use it as jet parking

There is a dating site for everything and I think you just found your profile pic.

Only with my sandals. But really I’d have the GTS because that’s the one I have a thing for. 

I’ll admit I use to think that way (that the fans were all rednecks) but after working a corporate hospitality tent at the Daytona 500 my view has changed. You get all walks of life.

Wear pants in a Viper?!?!?! That’s not living my best life.

Neat! Though I don’t remember that one.
