Red Bull Ride



This street submission that was "wired" from Sand Point has got me amped!  The hooptie itself is actually quite rare:  1997 Suzuki X-90.   They were made from 1995 to 1997 to replace the Samurai....well they sucked!  Jeremy Clarkson of "Top Gear" said the X-90 was the  "worst car ever"!  Very few were sold in the US and then Red Bull got a hold of some and went ape shit crazy on a making them a driving billboard......

How in the world this automobile made it to Sand Point is probably stranger than fiction.  One could only posit that somebody who skippered a fishing tender headed from Seattle to Sand Point lost a bet (or won a bet)....and there she be, on one of the most remote islands in the world.

I do not know why the rearview mirrors are jacked up so high...perhaps it was to see the giant can sitting on the rear deck! In addition it does not appear that the chrome rims have held up to the maritime climate of the Shumagin Islands. But thats OK, She might have lost her wings but she got JC riding middle seat and Aloha lei on the grill....


"Who's car is it? Posse won't say
We all play it off when you look our way..."  Sir Mix-A-Lot, My Hooptie 1989
