:rocker I had a really good time meeting everyone. It was cool. We only had 6 cars show up. And all but two of them were Red. :lol As for those who showed up. It was Bad Bent, Gemini Heartz, (our hostest), PoCapo, Richard Kattenbach-Blue'904dr, CityConnection, BayareaMetro. We had good food and swapped stories. While everyone was talking, I got snagged up by a lonely old Grandpa who wanted someone to talk with. He would not stop talking. LOL We all took pics. And I will see if I have a good enough connection here to post some tonight. We are all gonna meet up whats left of the Harrah's car collection in the AM. BB is gonna spilt pretty early. He has one really long drive to get home. B-)

Here is the sign.

The Hot sauce was one of the best parts. I was just looking in the mirror. My neck and face are sunburned pretty good. I have no protection against the sun. I have red hair and blue eyes. I might as well be a pink nosed rabbit. LOL I only have a few mins before I start to burn. And we did like 6hrs+

For the group pics. We should have parked closer together. So we could get a closer shot. And how did I end up in the middle? "Inquiring minds want to know"

hey, guys. yeah sorry i couldn't make it. but friday morning as i was running the last of the errands my car started over heating so i had to deal with figuring that out... which wasn't hard. big time blown head gasket. there's bubles coming out of the radiator overflow like crazy. So that ruined this whole trip. :(

Looks like you guys had a awesome time though!!! i'll have to make it next time for sure!!!!

Hey guys we missed Fri. cause we had to work, we came out Saturday first to the park and then to the museum after 2pm and could not find anyone. After reading the posts this morning I realized you guys met at the car museum instead of the park. We brought a couple of Geo’s from Fallon, would have been able to bring 3 if I had another driver. I have a red '90 1.0 that will get me 39mpg at 80mpg. At normal speeds I am able to pull down about 46mpg. I also have a green 97 that is suppose to give 50+ mpg at 65 mph. We also brought a silver '90 four door that my friend was hoping to sell.
Sorry we missed it :( I hope we can get together again soon. Does anyone know of any active Geo clubs in the area?

Welcome to the forum, garrambide! Again. lol

Well, I made it home. An 11 hour drive but the last 20 miles is up a canyon in a snow storm on unplowed road. I did not make it, my CEL came on. I figure it is my O2 sensor, the 218/315 cam. So I turn around and get a motel in new Meadows.

HOWEVER, I got 55.9 mpg doing 65 mph from Winnemucca to Reno and back to Winnemucca!! :thumb :thumb And that included playing on the freeway with a Subaru WRX and a Toyota Celica going through Sparks. :lol I attribute the FE to some killer 85 octane I got at the Flying J - Conoco. B-)

OK so I'm going to tag on Mr. Murf's post here a few pics I took...

Posted Image A sign of things coming...

Posted Image Do you need any art on your Geo... PM BayAreaMetro. Mr. Murf in the background.

Posted Image More and more chatting. Actually Phil had a great plan. He asked each car owner to describe what they had done to their Geo, particularly the engine and anything else of note.
