    Back in the mid 70s my Aunt won a Pinto in a raffle.  All 4 of her boys used it for there paper route growing up.  When they moved out and went to college she gave it to my brother in the 1988.  We had a 100 mile drive to get it home. It burned through 8 quarts of oils on the way home.  We had to stop check and refill about every 25 miles...LOL  

    Had a Vega way back, first attempt at a aluminum block. Once they over heated the block warped. Pull in a station, "fill up the oil and check the gas".

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    I like the quirky of it.  I wouldn't restore one, but it's a neat quirky.

    Dang, mustangermike… makes you wish you hand hung onto that Geo Metro, doesn’t it?

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
