that GEO bashing must be a California thing, cause i have NEVER run into it anywhere i have traveled.
It's not a California thing, it's an imaginary thing.

Never had anyone offer to buy mine. When I stop at gas stations, people usually comment. Once a guy shouted out his window... "WOW! Haven't seen one of those in a long time... I shouldn't have got rid of mine!". I almost never get bad comments.

Now, I fully agree that people always have to pass the Geo. If I drive down the road in my HHR, people will wait for me to pass before pulling out on side streets... but in the Metro, they ALWAYS pull right out. I was barreling down the road the other day (50 in a 35 zone) in a hurry before the store closed, and a minivan pulled RIGHT out in front of me... I almost had to lock up the brakes. I don't bother laying on the horn anymore, it probably just makes them laugh. I need an air horn out of a big truck.

The other day a big diesel truck flew past me on the highway, a 1/4 mile before my exit, and got right off infront of me. I've never really tried to push my Metro before, but I pulled up beside him at the 4 lane stop light, and just rocketed off and cut infront of him. I was quite surprised with it's acceleration. :) He thought it was a game for a while, until it became a 2 lane road, and I decided that we would drive the next 12 miles at the speed limit. Trust me, I didn't let him pass... :evillol

Yeah... not really sure how I found this. Probably accidentally stumbled across it on a Google search.

People at work make jokes like "How do you fit in there?" One that bugs me the most is a guy that called it a tin can with discussed and nose in the air.... he drives a almost new Honda Accord.... his household income is close to $400K, he spends like $500 per year on detailing his car each year... my geo did not even cost $500 for the whole car.

Some people are just interested in that it is a 3 cylinder engine....some have a hard time believing it gets over 50 MPG.

There are quite a few on the roads in my area and so people pretty much ignore them. I usually passing other people, but when I pass someone I don't like to hold them up if I have passed them so I keep my speed up.

Don't seem to have folks repass me, if I have passed them.

Maybe I just don't get out enough but I don't get many comments on my Geo. :-/

When I explain the roof scoop they smile and think it's cool that I installed it for my dog.

We have a lot of hills around here. I like to get someone on my tail and then accelerate away from them. :evillol

Got rudely passed by some small truck just as lanes merged. :banghead So I drove behind them for 2-3 miles. When they slowed I flashed my headlights, like 'What are we slowing for?' I then passed them at 95 mph before I had to turn off. Good times. :D
No anger, I just wasn't going to let them get away from me. :D

I generally drive pretty fast, but when I come across a metro going up a steep grade or starting off at a red light, that's when I really like to show off and tease if I am in one of my fast ones. It is kinda fun to blow by another metro at stupid speeds when he is down in fourth crawling up a grade.
