re: Ever drive a Geo Metro?

I drove one years ago as a rental when my truck was in the body shop. It had a 3 cylinder engine and I've owned lawnmowers with more horsepower. If I ran over a piece of gum I had to downshift. If I was driving top speed at 55 mph and turned on the A/C is was as if someone kicked that car in the nuts. The speed immediately dropped to 40 mph. I hit a moth while driving on the interstate and did $400 worth of damage.

I couldn't begin to fathom how someone could go to the Geo dealership, test drive that POS and say, "This is the car for me, I have to buy it".
