I'd keep my geos and add a Ford Excursion 4x4 7.3L diesel to my stable. I love those beasts. |

I know I'd keep my Metros, plus probably buy some other car toys. I am after all, the Car Nut. I used to live in the fancy, smancy, neighborhood with the pool, club house, tennis courts, etc, etc. Didn't like it. Too many wannabees, keep up with the Jones' types for me. Got me some land out in the county, built a house and started my car collection. Like it much better out here. In the old hood my next door neighbor inquired as to why I was doing a brake job in my driveway one day. Guess he thought I should have been doing it in the garage, or maybe not at all. Probably thought a shop should be doing it for me. Sorry, gettin cranked up here. Really don't miss that place. |

I'd likely keep my Metros - probably have a Jay Leno like garage though with quite a few choices to suit my mood. |

Obsessive Car Detailer
|
If I had a million bux? Hmmmmm..... I love driving my Metro and I am in no way ashamed, scared, board, or unhappy driving it everywhere I go. I would take a new C6 Z06 Vette with a bunch of nitrous but then again all the money in the world cant buy your drivers license back once you lose it. I guess I would just keep working with the junk I have now and be happy with it! |

Sir Metrologist

Not saying there wouldn't be other " toys," but as long as he can, Rudolph will be a permanent "horse in the stable."  Mainly because I'm WAY too much of a cheap SOB.

I would definitely keep my Geo.  I'd upgrade everything of course.  I have my 350 Chevy van that would become a 305 for better FE. I would also upgrade and detail my van then use it to ferry a carbon fiber recumbent around.  23 lbs.

Sorry Horn12007 I Would Have To Strongly Disagree With You. I Love My '90 4Dr's Comfort On Long Road Trips. You Wanna Sell Your Metro To Me?? I'd Love To Have It. If I Had The Money. But Wait?? If I Were a MILLIONAIRE!! Hmm!! After Being Terrorized By These People On The Roads And Here In LOS ANGELES/SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, If I Were RICH, Still There Is NO F---ING Way I Would Even TOUCH Any Of My ENEMIE'S JUNK No Matter How "Nice" Or Powerful Or Fast They Are!! It's GEO METRO ALL THE WAY BABY!! For Me! And If I Had The Money, I'd SOUP It Up To 500 Or So Horsepower (Yes, In My G10) And Use It To Kick PICKUP/SUV Ricer Honda Ass! Also, I Would Use My Riches To ABOLISH And RID The Roads Of All PICKUP AND SUVs And If Not, Try And Get Laws Passed To FINE Them BIG Time If Anyone of Them, Harasses or Terrorizes Any GEO METRO OR CHEVROLET SPRINT!! And We Can Start With That POS CHEVROLET SILVERADO!! Then I'd Work My Way Down The Line Until All Of Them Were Eliminated! HARDY!! HAR! HAR!! Maybe Buy OLE BLUE From T3RAGTOP!! And Z345SPEED'S Geo Metros. Esp. T3'S I Want That Car SO BAD!! If I Were A MILLIONAIRE...... Oh, And I'd GET THE HELL OUT OF CALIFORNIA!! This State SUCKS BIG TIME!! |

If I were a multi millionare (ie more than 2 million I need 1.3 mill to survive the rest of my life) I would stock up on several dozen clean ready to go GEO's as a "just in case" and for family in tough times. Personally I would drive an electric car. I would probably convert my Clubwagon (or a newer chassis) I could fit enough batteries in such a chassis to easily give a 500mile range and that would be my daily driver. |

Rk i had a 94 caprice that would just float over the roughest roads. I think some of you have brainwashed yourself. bigger seats, nicer ride, more power. Now that caprice was a highway car aside from mpg. But lets get real. I dont have lots of money. I cant afford a $50 fill up. I cant afford a luxurious nice cruiser. 13 inch tires are alot cheaper than 16s. And i use my geo as a work car and it is great for that. It does everything i need and does it cheaper than any other vehicle. and rk why would i sell my metro? $1000 doesnt mean shit when u have millions. I would give it away before i would sell it. Honestly i think i would make it a shitty lookin sleeper. Lol |

Why you Mutt!

Complete ground-up restoration on the Metro, convert to a manual transmission/XFI cam. Replace the stereo...saw a nice Sony CD/MP3/AM/FM/Shortwave on eBay. Do the same for the Benz. That car has kinda grown on me over the months, and there is a support community dedicated to them that is made up of people every bit as wonderful and supportive as here (and that's saying something!) Now, if I had several million...though it's been nice here, with all the satin sheets, the fur, eatin' all that chicken, gettin' drunk and havin' a good time, I think I'd just take off to Africa, or Omaha, and search for my third eye, Hare Krishna identity. |
