Can anyone identify the quote?
Pulp Fiction. Spoken by Butch (Bruce Willis) in reference to the recently deceased owner of a chopper. Here's my favorite line from that movie:

Wish that I had photos, but I've never learned to post them...oh well, My rig is a Voodoo Blue 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser with all the bells and
whistes...rock rails, skid plates, roof rack, inclinometer etc....I added my Baja Nomad sticker and "The lower the Latitude, The better the Attitude"
license plate frame....I call him B.O.B. which stands, of course, for Baja or Bust!
My husband has a 2001 Jeep which he fortified with a 4 inch lift kit and 33 inch tires....I have dubbed him A.L.....or Alto Loco...Spanish for
"Crazy Tall"....I can't even climb into the darn thing without a step ladder
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!
Casey67,
You will do just fine almost everywhere with that Grand Vitara. A good friend had one fixed up like yours. If they just had bigger wheelwells....

Sorry, more quotes from Pulp Fiction.
BAHADOG, let's us drive non-stop from Northern California to Baja. Can carry 7 riders and seven bikes. We typically leave up here about 6:00 PM, put's
us through LA past midnight when traffic is light, at the border at daybreak.
Chase Trucks? ??
We don\'t need no stinking chase trucks!
The UGLY truck. Somewhat low miles for the age, maintained and runs well, just looks ugly. Dents, scratches and rust helps, IMHO, keep thieving
types from taking a second look.

ouch K-rico, whats wrong with that truck, if it takes you from point A to point B, thats all that matters..
One of the problems with message boards, humor doesn't always come through. The author himself said it was an ugly truck and I was reminded of
earlier threads about "pizza" trucks, which I thought was funny. I'm all for old Fords in Baja, drive one myself. Lots of parts, they're known to
mechanics, low profile, no great loss if they're banged up, wrecked or stolen, etc. etc. I'm from the "car repairs are better than car payments"
school of thought. Heck, mine still has the wrong sized (too small, but the only one immediately available) used alternator a mechanic in Ciudad
Constitucion spliced in three years ago. The taped up wires are doing just fine.
