Default Beat the living pee out of a Geo Metro.

I was on my way to pick up my girlfriend when I came upon a riced out Geo Metro. Now I knew these things had nothing, and the guy wanted to race so I did just that. The light turned green and I punched it. I basically walked all over him, but he punched it after I had won and followed me after I made a turn and I punched it again and never saw him again. Another win for the bonneville, rock on. Not to mention I had just got my new high flow cat back exhaust so that helped considerably.

Well...at least you only raced him because he initiated it (right?) :? I'm just shocked someone would actually waste money on ricing one of those.

If I were that guy in the Metro I'd tint the windows as dark as I could so nobody could see me, that'* how embarrased I'd be.

I would have to agree with the rest of the posts. I would take a civic (ugggh) over a metro.

The guy had a rather big exhaust on this thing, it seemed the exhaust was bigger then the car, probably worth more to. He did initiate he wanted to race, so I showed him up and killed the poor guy, I felt bad for him actually. I had taken a drive in some go carts and I bet they do go faster then that metro. If I had a choice between a civic or a metro, I would take neither and walk. You ain't gonna find me in an import.
