A 1990 Daihatsu Rocky has found its way into my garage.
From the July/August issue of Car and Driver.Sometimes you go looking for a car, and sometimes a car finds you. While I am prone to oddball searches just for entertainment's sake—Facebook Marketplace is basically my Tinder for the Merkur XR4Ti—I wasn't in the market for a 1990 Daihatsu Rocky. Until very recently, I was barely aware of the Rocky's existence. But then I happened upon a neighborhood estate sale, and there in the garage was the most pristine Rocky I'd ever seen.
My immediate solution was to use a portable jump pack, which, for some reason, refused to work the first time I stopped for gas. As I pushed the Rocky away from the pumps, I felt the rear tire trying to pull the shoe off my back foot. The Rocky's wheelbase makes a penny-farthing look like a Ford Excursion.So I was as surprised as anyone else to discover that Daihatsu's answer to the Suzuki Samurai is actually not bad to drive.
