'bout time for another post, here it is,
The Geo Metro
(credit: https://upload.wikimedia.org/)
It looks like some car (or some toaster). It must be the dullest and boringest car ever. Brand new, they were $6,750. That's fabulous for a new car, but it might have been better to just get a decent condition used car.
A used car would be faster, too. The base Metro has a one liter three cylinder engine. The motorcycle engine under the hood makes a mind-boggling fifty-five horsepower! From what I can deduce, the top speed is between sixty-ish and the high side of ninety MPH.
The transmissions aren't great, either. There is a five speed standard shift, which is normal enough, but there is also a three speed automatic. In the '60s three speed autos were outdated!
So, the metro. REALLY REALLY slow, a toaster, and boring.
Do you have any thoughts about cars/cats? What drives you crazy? One post a week so stay tuned!

i owned a Metro! When i floored the car, it would do one of two things - amble or sputter and die. Yeah, high speed sixty-ish kilometers per hour, if you were lucky and on a road downhill :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Also, do you mean 60 MPH? 60 k/h is about 40 MPH.
DeleteMy friend had a Geo Tracker. So wrong, on so many levels...
