Where do I start...? Myself and Panzerjunkie were talking about a week ago about how its going to suck that when we start tearing our cars apart to rebuild, mod, etc... That we are not going to have a gas saving car to drive. So we devised a plan.. Go find a decent Geo Metro to drive in between our separate builds and go in together and buy one. And low and behold we found one. I posted it in the cars for sale thread "93 $750". After several days of " is this going to happen moments" We drove approx. 2 hrs to pick it up Friday. Did some negotiating, paperwork and such and left with it. By this time it was dark. Panzer was following me and all of a sudden we hit a really bad rain, hail storm "no damage small hail" but pretty intense. I lost Panzer, his phone was dead. He went to a McDonalds to call me because I was back tracking to find him. Low and behold he was in front of me. Kind of funny we had to adjust the clutch cable at MD. Waited the storm out got it back to his place......Sooo here is Zippy the next day!

ya know that is a really great plan, because having to rebuild a car and stress about it being your DD makes for less than desired results on mods repairs etc. that car looks pretty nice to me :) but when your dailys get all the new parts your going to feel way better

Yah. We thought it would be a good plan, we don't have to worry about trying to get stuff done on our cars in a weekend. Take our time with the mods and such and do it right the first time, and if there is a problem, we can fall back on Zippy to get us to from point A to B. I have a lot of good used parts to put on this car. We all have done it! go to the PNP and see something " hey I already have one of those but it doesn't hurt to get another" :lol Even tho we are sharing the car we have a rock solid plan. I can also get some of the parts that I have horded out of the garage :D

Don't forget the wipers where useless there was that white scummy haze on the windows it's dark as all get out the driver window didn't go all the way up and the headlights where dim and the breaks where weak I drove through that crap till I found civilization and pulled over while all those nice working suvs hid under overpasses
I ripped the pink fuzzy wheel cover off so I had something to clean the window enough with when traffice was slow Lol!
