So is it just "buyers remorse"?........ You seemed pretty happy about the purchase in your topic last week. Was it not as nice as advertised? You knew you were buying another shitty Metro right?












No remorse at all. I am very pleased with the car AND my new $13 floor mats.

Actually, I made enough money in the stock market (oil futures) to pay for the car today. So, it is kind of a free upgrade...

I just took some pics of my old Metro for the ad I am putting on CL. I'll take some pics of the new one too and post them.

Great news all the way around! The car looked cleaner than 98% of the Metros I've seen based on the pics.

Again..... Congrats! :thumb

The coppertone Miata/ with trailer(shown in your other post) is pretty easy on the eyes too!

Some Vaseline would probably restore that plastic nicely!

Is that what everyone uses?

I've never really posted pictures of Guzzler (the 94 I am selling) on this site but since I put a CL ad up I figured you guys would like to see what I gave up for the new one. You can see the pictures here:

Very nice, clean ride. Not one bit shitty. Throw some rims, or at least hubcaps on it quick. :thumb

That looks sweet. Some trim paint on the bumpers, and a set of hubcaps (or trim rings and center caps) and it will be cherry.

Not a great picture, but here's what trim rings look like:

It has hubcaps but they are pretty bad, paint wise. I'll keep them off for a bit until I see if the tires leak air (can't get to the valve stems very easily with them on), and until I paint them, and until I make sure I have the best tires from both cars on the new one.

That Metro looks good to me. The simplicity of these cars is why I life them, I never expected refinement.
