I was shopping for a geo and found this truth in advertising.

This 1994 Geo Metro is quite possibly the ugliest car we have ever offered for sale. The glowing green paint is interesting to say the least and the thirteen inch tires are so small it looks as if the car is riding on bicycle tires. There is no power steering in the vehicle and the only optional equipment is an antiquated cassette player that is just itching to play all of your favorite mix tapes. On the bright side, the car does get 40 miles per gallon thanks to the mammoth 1.0L 3 cylinder engine and you can probably replace all of the brakes, tires and rotors for less than the cost of a nice dinner. ( there's always a silver lining!) So if you are secure enough in your self image to throw style and comfort out the window and survive on the basic necessities of the automotive world this car is for you. You will save huge money at the gas pump and most likely qualify for instant membership in any and all environmental organizations for your incredible devotion and sacrifice in the name of Mother Earth.

I was just thinking that same thing. I don't have a clue why I liked that car so much, it must have been great marketing at work.

I...think that was humor...?

Anyway, don't feel bad. How many of us eighties kids didn't like Knight Rider? =)

infinite012 · 03-01-2006, 04:06 PM

you didn't like knight rider!?!?!? ban.

***Jaranath*** · 03-01-2006, 04:28 PM

No no, I DID like Knight Rider. That's the problem. I just know "loved Knight Rider and A-Team" is on my permanent record somewhere... Oddly enough, though, I never really liked the Dukes. Not sure why.
