I need a work beater.
Something that won't break the bank on fuel (wow, a whole 1 mile drive each way!!!! )....
Not after this winter, we're looking at a house with some land, gonna be 35 miles each way. But I'm using the short commute currently for an argument that I need a little gasser. I don't want to put my truck on a cold weather drive that won't even warm the coolant in the winter.....
I've been using the Mustang for to-and-from work, kept the fluids circulating, but, after some soul searching (and someone with some DEEP pockets), I sold it this last weekend. Kind of sad to see it go, but it is just a car after all, even if it was a low mile classic.....
Anyways, back on topic.
Saturday I'm picking up the ultimate in Chevrolet high-horsepower gas guzzlers......
A 1993 Geo Metro!
Oh yeah! Feel those thundering 55 ponies under the hood, that roar coming from the 1.0L 3-cylinder engine through a 1" tailpipe......
In all honesty, I had a '91, I sold it a couple weeks before Katrina hit, went from 50mpg in that thing to an LTD with a 460 just in time for gas to skyrocket!
They are decent little cars, the ultimate econo-box!
If I used it solely for work, with that 10 gallon fuel tank, where I live right now..... I'd have to go to a gas station for an annual fill-up.
Kinda looking forward to my $800 work beater.
