I saw a clip on CNN or somewhere where the Geo Metros are commanding prices near their original sticker prices on the used car market, and there are actually folks buying them up cheap, fixing them, and reselling them for big profits. 50+ mpg...and remember the article posted here about the '69(?) 4-cylinder Nova that was getting like 40+ mpg? I'm not sure the auto manufacturers have really came that far in all these years...
Anyway, a good friend of mine had a Metro in high school & college...he drove the wheels off that thing, but the 3 cylinder sipped the gas...I remember he got a ticket one time on the way home from college, and the highway patrol said he clocked him @ like 75 down a long hill, and my friend told the guy he was thankful for the ticket as he was gonna go show it off to all his friends who thought his POS car couldn't break the speed limit! I still give him crap about that car, but I'm not so sure I wouldn't try and buy it from him if he still had it!
