It happened. After 2 years. I was taking a left into the local McDonalds, and next thing, I was sitting there in a haze of smoke. My poor Geo was hit by a mitsubishi eclipse gs-t that was going pretty fast. The right side of the Geo was pushed inwards, and it bent the frame pretty bad. Luckily no one was hurt badly but it looks like its time to buy a new car. I think I want something a little faster this time around but it was a great first car.

Metros keep the passengers very safe in an accident. Unfortunately, they take all the damage, and 99% of the time, they're totalled. But, I'd rather need a new car, than an artificial leg :smile: . Well, something more on the economical and practical side, with a little pep would be a Suzuki swift GT. There's been a few on Ebay lately. Same body as a metro, with double the power, and a much better suspension, and a nice interior. They still get good gas mileage too.

And might I say, they're a lot spiffier looking too :) That's a pic of my old 91' swift GT in the summer of 03'. Before I sold it.

what are you going to do with the metro? I have a neighbor who is looking for a parts car, and I think we are only about 3 hours away.
