Awe, now you're making me want to ditch the Metro and get something sporty . The only thing that's holding me back is my cents per mile is still lowering on the Geo, and I'll need to penny pinch when I move out of my parent's place in the next year or so. That and I still want to get into the top-10-list on this site... so close yet so far!

You want sporty? Then how about this AWESOME 29/40 Old School MPG Megalith that I drove in the mid 1980's :
lol u dont have to tell anyone what a chevette looks like around here. i drove it to a rather large car dealer cuz i was lookin for some specialty parts. so i park go in and come out about 10 minutes later and theres like 6 or 7 salespeople around my chevette!
Man, that Opel is so sweet looking. Beautiful curves.
I really liked those Capris. The Celica GTs from the same time frame were great too.
I drove a Datsun B210 for a couple of weeks. It was yellow like the honey bee but it was a fastback. The interior looked like it was right out of a 240Z, all black and brushed aluminum. Too cool.
Back in the 70s I had a 57 Karmen Ghia that got 35 to 40 mpg. It was a rather crude little car with very little useable room but I put a lot of miles on it with little mechanical trouble. I bought it for $200, drove it for 3 years, then sold it for $500.
BTW, the car didn't even come with a fuel gage, instead it had a reserve valve like a motorcycle.
