So the Eclipse died a couple weeks ago of a terrible timing belt failure. It wasn't really worth fixing, so after a couple weeks of searching I picked up a new ride! It is a 1994 Geo Metro XFi. It has a powerful 3 cylinder engine and a 5spd manual trans which equals excellent mileage. Luxurious factory options included are: -Manual trans -Manual mirrors -Manual seats -Manual locks -Tape player! -No A/C -Rear defrost! -4! wiper settings -Horn! Anyways, here are some pics, along with a microsoft-painted version of what I would like to do to cover up the rust:

Haha, just the Colt, Eclipse and now this. I plan on putting it back on the Colt once she is road-worthy again, but for now it is the cheapest to just transfer it from car to car.
And aside from bitchin' gas mileage, the new tires I am buying for it are $28 a piece. 155/80/12 FTW!

I kinda want one for some dumb reason. LOL...probably because you could buy one of them for the same price it would take to fill up the massive gas tank on your truck.

I looked on Wiki and apparently the XFi is the rare de-tuned model that only has like 49 hp but gets up to 58 mpg!

That is fucking sweet. You and I are going to have to race. This may be the only car the Ranger can beat.
