Damn, that must suck, atleast I got a 01 Taurus when I went in for my intercooler leak (didn't have one) and clunk (didn't have that either).

I feel your pain...

Kent,
I feel for you I really do! I have a Civic and it feels small, I can't imagine a Geo Metro. You startled me the other day when you honked at me at that stop sign! I came by your house a little later to see if you wanted to get together sometime and have a beer and maybe put in the chip and filter I am getting!? Drop me a line on here or e-mail me at: jacowen@us.ibm.com Thanks.

I got a Focus when my F250 was in the shop, I felt like my a$$ was scraping the ground. Funny thing is I started to enjoy the little sucker.

You have my sympathy! I got stuck with a Geo Metro rental one time - a 5 door automatic. Worst POS ever. Loaded muni busses were running up my tailpipe from the stoplight. Damn Metro is so slow it's dangerous.

You guys stop ******* the Metro. You're out there racing Corvettes and Camaros. I don't have a Lightning and am on a steady diet of Metro's. I find them to be quite competitive though I haven't lost to one yet.

Of course, I'm talking about the 4 cylinder. Why, I wouldn't even waste my time on the 3 cylinder. That would be beneath me.

Save a few bucks at the "pump" at the risk of life and limb? GM/Geo marketing strategy at its finest.

You have sympathy.
