oh yea... it needs to be CHEAP!
just convert your trans am to a fwd 3 cylinder....

We got a geo and man that thing was the best thing ever, we get about 43mpg average, but it is a 3 cylinder and it is SLOW. Everything is cheap on it, tires 20$, even the motor is around 200-300$, Yeah its a great idea to get a geo.
