My old Subaru Justy wasn't any better. I have the picture at work; I'll scan it in and post it here, too.

Here's my '89 Subaru Justy as of 1993... Of course, it no longer had the mirror tint film on it by that time...

I had an Excel that exact same color, bought it new in Dec 94, last of the Excels on the lot, they had just got their first Accents in and wanted to clear out the Excels. It was a great car, and I still miss it. I would like to repaint my Elantra that shade of Green

:abovelol: the geo is worse! was it the three or four cylinder?

[Jlivan]

I actually had a 4-cylinder! Like that mattered?

[SilverElantra03]

yeah well i still have my 1987 white mazda 323 hatchback. do you think the geo is worse?

haha...a metro was my first car...a 1996...that thing was tiny...me and my buddy thought wed have fun and go spin donuts one winter with it...theres a hill going down into a parking lot (hard to explain... there was a main road, then a road came off that and made like a square U back onto the road...when you got to the first left turn, you could go left, or straight which went into the lot for the pool) and we would go down the hill about 20 mph and turn the wheel once in the lot and hit the E-brake...my buddy got out of the car to watch and i thought itd be funny to try to shoot some snow on him so i came straight at him, hit the brakes and locked the ebrake so all 4 were locked just sliding, and threw it into reverse and floored it...2 things happened...#1, i almost plowed down him and a handicapped parking sign that he was standing next to...i thought id stop sooner having the wheels spinning the opposite way...he said i missed the sign by inches...#2 we put it into reverse for something once we were done and hit the gas and it went forward...neutral went forward, drive- you guessed it...forward...1600 for new tranny...car cost about that...we said **** it...ended up getting a 96 corsica after that...never tried the "going forward, lock the brakes and throw it into reverse and floor it to cover your buddy in snow" trick again...haha...the things i did when i didnt know **** about cars.

I had the very same car! Bought mine new in April 94. I had a universal muffler and a DIY CAI on mine. I loved that car to death, put nearly 200K on it and sold it to a friend for 500 bucks. He put another 80K on it and sold it to a friend for two cans of Coke. That little mofo is still on the road today as far as I know. Somewhere around Hampton Roads from what I hear....

Sans the stickers, it looks good. I like the suspension mods on it...

[only1db]

for what it was it used to handle with the best of them....too bad i added sooooo much weigtht with the system and everything else!
