The doctor visit went very well, and we had some time left over to continue our search for the elusive Maruti Gypsy King, pictured here. We have a '91 Samurai with the mighty 1.3L engine and five speed trans, and a '93 Maruti long wheel base variant with a 1L micro engine and four speed. The Gypsy King has the best of both worlds, with a 1.3L engine and the dog and bike friendly long wheelbase.
We stopped by the Suzuki/Chevy/Subaru dealer where we bought our white Sammi back in '91. We saw lots of cool cars, including a nice blue WRX, drool drool.
There are a couple of these Chevy trucks on Bonaire and they look really huge on our small roads. It's one of those things you just have to see to believe. They caught our eye 'cause one can open up the back to let one's dogs run in and out. Too bad they don't make a smaller Bonaire friendly version.
At the other extreme is this pint sized Chevy van. Someone ought to bring this picture in to their friendly local North American dealer and ask for one, heh-heh.

Still thinking about that WRX are ya? My brother, David, test drove the STI last week in a moment of weakness. He said it was incredible, but he didn't really fit in the car. Are you able to fit in the car?

Ha ha, can I fit into the car? Let's not let minor details like size or a total lack of money get in the way of the dream. Right?
Actually our son has a 2005 Impreza wagon with the 2.5L non-turbo engine and I fit it great. The STI does have different seats, so who knows.... did see a STI on the road in Curacao yesterday, but didn't sit in it.
Right, right .... don't worry about trivial details ... like $$ or squeezing in. LOL! The WRX's are fine machines... and I wouldn't mind one myself. Now if I could only convince Susan!
