Much appreciated. We are all on a budget here. I also own a 96' toyota tercel. I am partial to my geo metro convertible. Take a look at my cardomain site. The new engine I'm building for it will have it running in the low 14s range in the 1/4, and pull about .98g's lateral acceleration. But, mine's built for racing. Me and the fellow metro-goers love these cars not because they're high quality luxury machines, but because they're budget cars that get phenominal gas mileage. The 89-91 cars rival hybrid gas mileage. Please, keep your comments to yourself in the future. But we appreciate the apology. And honestly, if I had a lot of $, I'd still drive my metro. It drives great, in control, and predictable. And name one other car you can change the engine for $300, with no engine hoist, and a simple metric socket kit
