    First time out with the mini

    Bought a mini truck a few weeks ago to do my scrapping in. Tonight was the maiden voyage. Didn't go too bad. The truck got a lot of looks and I did come home with an OK load. 3 TV's, 1 VCR, bunch of car parts like brake rotors, cast iron intake and a bunch of sheet metal. Everything came from 2 stops. You just never know how it's gona go.
    Tried to attach some pics. No can do.

    It's a 1995 Suzuki Carry

    Geez, I'd say a mini truck! I was thinking like an Isuzu P'up or a Mitsubishi Mighty Max or maybe a lowrider or something. I see you have the slow moving vehicle sign on it. What's the top speed? Does it have a model name?

    The ones we had in the air force would do 50 mph. They also make a 6 person van version.

    Very, very nice. You probably get good mileage, mine is a total gas guzzler - almost makes it not worth it at times.

    It sure is a cute little critter. No parking, no problem just fold it up and put in your back pocket.
