To tell you the truth. I too made fun of Samurai's back in the day. I was looking into a Willys or a Toyota of some sort. Then one day, the last day of school sophomore year, a teacher said if I wanted his Samurai I could take it for free in the next week. He was moving to Canada and couldn't take it. It sat for two years in his driveway. So I went down and found the keys and the title in the glovebox like he said. We compression started it and drove it back home. It took two quarts of oil to get it there. Later that day, cleaning it out I found more loose change than I paid for the oil to put in it. Now I like Samurai's cause they're tough little rigs that are somewhat cheap to maintain.
