Why I'm Choosing a Civic Over a Metro
.....you found out that Honda is one of the best (if not the best) car in the world and Geo Metro built by THE worst car manufacturer in the world, GM.

As a former automotive mechanic/instructor/bodyman I saw them 'inside-out.' 95% of my work involved GM cars.

Read 'Unsafe at any speed' by Ralph Nader.

Yes, I agree. I love this stuff so I need to try this myself. It is getting to the point however, that building your own electric car is like makeing your own light bulb in a pickle jar and hopeing that it will change the world.

Well, sitting by doing nothing isn't going to change it either.
