Default I need a GEO METRO!
does anyone in the southwest know where there is a geo metro for sale? I'm tired of gas prices and the TA although my baby, is just killing me on gas prices right now. So I need a new DD to get me from A to B while i'm in school and I'll have the TA for weekend meets/cruises etc...

oh yea... it needs to be CHEAP!

I think someone did a breakdown a while back.. said that the price of the car along with insurance wouldn't save you much money..

BUT, witha geo metro.. I don't see how you wouldn't save money.. Just don't wreck.. look like a little death trap..

yea... i'd just get liability insurance, as I wouldn't care if the car got totaled since i didn't pay too much for it...

I used to always joke around with my neighbor about putting the 396 into the Metro

I was going to sell my old metro but I think Im going to get it running again. That little convertible got great gas mileage.

I'd actually recommend a stick, imo, over an automatic.
