I drag race a 84 Plymouth Horizon that now weighs 1810 lbs with 3 gallons of fuel so I definately did the wt loss thing on it,,,,and now my 96 Geo Metro has seen some of the same wt loss mods, but will not go as far as the Horizon. I drive the car to the track so I kept the heater and a single wiper. It has no dash and no interior except one seat and all the door panels. The rear doors are gutted and lexan is in use on both back doors and hatch. I was only able to get rid of a quick 70 lbs in the Geo so it is down to 1730. I will not put on lexan since it is my dailey driver and will sit out in the winter....it's rough to use an ice scrapper on lexan! Since my 2 year old rides in the back I have not removed inside panels or braces. My future plans are to remove the rear seat and place a single front seat in its place.

PERSONAL WEIGHT!!! I retired from the post office July of last year and went fron 264 down to 229 by sending my wife to work while I am a stay at home dad! I am too tired for a treadmill, but we did decide to get one in Oct.
