I bought a 1998 Chevy Metro in April and got the car for almost nothing. Against all odds, I rebuilt this little car with my mechanical skills to save it from the crusher and you can see all the documented repairs including parts cost by clicking on my signature image. Even though I have put around $700 in repairs (parts only - my labor) into it, it still pays me back every time I drive it. My Chevy truck was costing me $20.00 per day in fuel and even more over the weekend. On average, I would put $160.00 in fuel in the truck weekly. That dollar amount will drive the Metro for 2 months!

Who's crazy now?

I did not E-Mail this. I would rather have him return to the forum and check replies like a real reporter would
