This is where I'm at in the design process.

Maybe you guys can help me name it? It's going to start off as a 1989-1994 geo metro, but nothing will be recognizable except things under the hood. I plan on painting it white because there won't be A/C to cool a dark car and white paint is generally cheaper. It will be a 2 seater(maybe a third whose legs would be between the front seats) and I'm shooting for 100 mpg while cruising at 60 with the use of lean burn.

I'm sticking with front wheel drive because I'm trying to get this done in one summer and rear wheel drive would add too much fabrication time.
