      Bro, that shit was dope! Would have loved to see some more action shots of you rippin it in the dirt. I totally understand what you mean in reference to feeling the pressure of making it to your destination. In aviation we call it “get-there-itis” and it has literally been the cause of death for many a pilot.

    As someone who owns a 2002 Grand Vitara 4x4 V6 for fun, it was nice seeing Suzuki's lesser known vehicles get some love. Suzuki doesn't have a BAD car under their belt, they just had a bad rep because they got chased out of the US by lying journalists and thus, it's REALLY hard to find parts for these things now. The fact you found another one in a junkyard is completely insane. The small foot print and decent power and GREAT transmissions these things have mean they can go pretty much ANYWHERE, I take mine on trails not even a Tacoma or 2 seater Jeep can go.

    Anyone who thinks that the X90 belongs in the top 10 worst cars ever made obviously has very little experience with automobiles.

    I loved this, perfect flow of the progress. Produced perfectly and his presence was great! Put him back on camera some time!

    My favorite response to someone complimenting the car is "it's weird right??"

    This was a great experience. Love the builds and High-low videos but this felt like an adventure. Would love to see more. 🚙

    This is a little bit of everything rolled into one. Some Top Gear Mixed with Donut and a extra side of Henry. We definitely need more of this on the channel.

    This thing is sick! Just by watching, it put a smile on my face! It remembers me why I got a Suzuki Jimny. Pure fun!

    Something I love about Donut is the fans. The comment section is always super nice, complimenting and acknowledging the Donut people, and just a nice place to be. I dont read comments often, but I have seen a welcoming community with lots of positivity.

    "Upgrade Road Trip" could be a cool new series. Each ends with a challenge like an autocross, rallycross, hill climb, drag race, etc.
