I bough a metro........

[rockin86ranger]

A few weeks back i picked up a 2000 Chevy Metro LSI Hatch, its ugly it needs completely gone through but it was cheap and my friend needed it gone. I plan to do a full mechanic overhaul on it this summer/fall, i also have plans to convert it into a micro cargo van/motorhome. Plans are that when my seasonal work ends i will have a car i can trust to go anywhere and be able to camp in. Once i get my lay off notice i am hoping to have enough money saved up that i can hit the road and see a large chunk of the USA (and maybe some of Canada).

I was looking for a Festiva but the auto seatbelts kill me and they arent easy to find here for a reasonable price. So with the metro being made for so much longer this is what i settled for, it unfortunately is a 4cyl auto and after doing the research a 5speed swap isnt as reasonable as a Festiva would be so i am sticking with that setup and the awful mpg it brings.

just so you know, metro's are hated here, prolly why no one responded

I beg to differ. Metros and their kin were invited to Westiva last year. Two excellent examples of the marque attended.

I don't hate metros. I'd buy a swift in a heartbeat.

Like they say at Davesfarm, Suzuki ant' so Swift.... one of the most hated cars on the farm.... don't know if they still got it up there

The geo metro they had up there didn't last very long... everybody beat the shit out of it and destroyed it.... they finally put there foot to the floor no oil and coolent and sat there till she blew... well or just locked up for the correct term
