my mom got one BRAND NEW in 94 for an "around town" car. Cheap on gas! Anyways when I got it it had 21,000 on it, which was in 99 lol. I put 85,000 on it in a year and half and took that beast everywhere that car could go. We took it off-roading, rallye racing, everywhere. It went through Jack's River...

I loved that little POS

Hey, I should talk.....

When my brother and I were your age, we used to get Datsun B110 or 1200s, usually for about $50.00 each (the ones they had before B210s) they only made them in 1971, '72 & '73. We musta had ten of them over the years. They weighed 1800 lbs, had 1.2l engines and might have even been a slight bit smaller than your Metro. WOW did we have some fun in those cars When I went to college in 1979, during the "gas crisis" we were very concious of trying to find cars that were good on gas. These did a little over 30 MPG and when I put in a five speed (they only came with 4 speeds but I took a five speed out of a B210 and fit it in) I used to get 42 MPG on the highway. NOTHING could beat that back then!

Did you know they float fairly well? We even learned how to drive Joey Chitwood style on two wheels with those babies!!
