yep I had a Geo Metro for awhile. Thing was unbelieveable for fuel economy. easily 50 or better on highway. I took it up north and hit a log that had been left on the highway by a log truck. at night no sight of it until it was too late. car went airborne off the log. hood came up smashed the windshield, front stub was bent, radiator was holed. Drove it to my cousins house. Pulled the front stub out with a chain and tree. (backed the car up while chained to tree). Had a shop redo the rad, and tied the hood down. when I got home I put in a new windshield and drove that car for more then a year longer.
Honestly it got better fuel mileage then my bike at the time. It would bog down severely with more then 2 adults though.
