Re: Farewell, Old Friend.

The original Insight was far and away my favorite car of the last 20 years. But, when they first came out, I couldn't afford one and now the two seater wouldn't be enough for the 3 of us. My first car, which turned out to be equally frugal with gasoline consumption, was a 1994 Geo Metro that I picked up for $1,000.

Still, I'm not the kind of guy who buys new things. I also don't like credit. So, I won't be financing the thing. I might just see if I can find an old Metro Xfi in a junkyard somewhere. 55mpg and 4 seats.

Oh Geo, what happened to you? Why did the auto industry do away with lightweight, inexpensive, utility vehicles?
You know what else drives me nuts about the auto industry...It's thow they did away with the little triangle window that could blow wind right onto thr driver. If they had left thos intact, there would be no need for air conditioning, which also eats up fuel...

Geeze.

I hate cars. I'm really regretting this...
