  1. The sxs market took a dip after these 660 models came in legally. So ive seen lobbying to get them banned in states that dont have mini trucks laws. Half the price of a new sxs with a/c heat enclosed cab 4×4 low range.

  2. I've spent more than half my life traveling around in an Indonesian-built Suzuki Futura (a slightly larger Suzuki Carry with a bigger engine). Still not dead yet.

  3. Fun fact Texas just classified these as cars back in April of this year, and they can be titled and registered and driven on public roads. Although I would advise staying off the highways. But the 25 year rule still applies to them

  5. 1-3 is short in the honda 4th is 1:1 and 5th is like .76 i think. Ive owned my honda acty for 2 years. Only issue i had was it was a 4 speed so i didnt have over drive. Went from 21 to 23 inch tall tires got to gps 55mph but dropped mpg from 35+ to 23ish. It was my daily too, in indy where everyone drive like its the indy 500 yeah its slow but no geo metro slow. Truth be told, i bet if u mesured the doors and panels on the geo are thinner than the acty. Thats a rolling tin can id like to have again 😂😂😂

  6. You guys briefly mentioned some people blame it being right hand drive as why they should be banned, but basically all of the USPS mail trucks are right hand drive so they can deliver to mailboxes.

  7. They ban these because it's a threat to the overpriced SUV/truck industry just like they banned them from being imported by manufacturers to start with. It's not protection, it's protectionism.
    And comments, please stop saying to ban motorcycles too 😅

  8. It's near impossible to get these California Legal also. You have to go through a process which would double or triple the price of it. Most people just register it out of state and drive them 'illegally'.
