Im confused. Do you have some sorta plans for this? Or is it just the luxury sedan you chose to get you around town?

Can you really put the terms luxury and sedan on the same page as a Geo Metro.

This will do some double duty actually. 1st, daily driver as Jana's car gets ready for spring and the truck is taken care of. 2nd, rally cross car. First thing this car gets is skid plates. From there we will take it easy till it's time to really play. Muahahahahahah! I'm gonna look like such a fucktard. ;-)

HAHAHAHAH 3k is way over budget. We are gonna see what cash in hadn does.

As for the swift. Try and find a good condition one for cheap. Not an easy task.

how are you gunna say a metro isn't luxury? Those things are the king of comfort! Maybe u didn't catch that I was joking when I said luxury sean. It'd be cool to turn my luxurious 85 olds regency98 into a rally car. I could have like 5 people in there while racing, and they'd all prolly be asleep cuz its so damn comfy!

The fun part will be when he brings it to the shop and isn't paying attention, I am going to weld the hood shut so he can't make it any slower

Thankfully, I think the metro thing is dead. I don't think AJ realized how slow and boring the stupid things really are till he brought one down to the shop today on a test ride.

I felt like I was crammed into a mobile vibrator when it hit 60. I would still buy one if I found one that made it past 65 without shaking apart.

The metro project may have just turned into the 1.8L NT Talon Project.

You need to find one of them rare turbo 3 cylinder versions, it's scary how loose they get under boost.

You mean Eclipse project. Yes, another red DSM with your name on it, I'm sure APC is on speed dial. :3gears:

This car can probably tow the Metro faster than it could go on it's own powah. :bounce:
