Geo Metro appreciation thread

Mk. II Suzuki Swift owner here.

I'm curious, what are the differences between the Geo Metro and the Swift/Cultus?

Pic slighty related.

I was looking at that back when it was posted.

The cars were originally bought by a bunch of hippies back in the 90s, and hippies hate driving, so 23k is plausible.

More likely though is that the guy just rolled it back from 123k or put in a replacement engine that has "23k" on it.

Sometimes cheap shitboxes like that are bought by old people too. They are retired, barely drive, garage the car, and still get oil changes every 3mos. Those are the gems.

This is just the thread I needed to vent my feels.

user, i connect with this story. Except, my breakup was peaceful and i still have my car.

Love RHCP though. Good taste in music will get you farther than you think.

I know that feel user, I know that feel all too well.

>I flip out my Motorola RAZR and shoot her a text "have fun, nvr txt me again cunt"

did she ever text you again?

I probably would've been friends with you in high school user

You have good taste in shitboxes and music

Sorry about your loss but congrats on doing something with your life
