how many Metrises (Metrii?) have already been junked? and not for crashes, just junked for junk.
I'm betting the bunch of bananas I bought yesterday will outlast some of them.

When I started, one of the 48K routes delivered out of a 1992 Geo Metro hatchback that the carrier bought new in 1992, and probably used for 15 years or more.... they rolled the entire load out in one of those little white canvas buggies....

I bet that carrier made some dough on EMA. I've noticed different driving two vehicle that average between 2-3 MPG better than previous vehicles.
DANG. I thought my 88 Delta 88 was a classic. He has gotten me beat.

But my $$$$ money would be on you at the final demo derby.....
Ehhhhh she has some rust issues but if she didn't she would be a finalist definitely in demo derby.
Pretty reliable besides some POS crank sensor ( a notorious problem for these cars)(still waiting on warmer weather to fix her). Belive this is 3rd one on about 5 or 6 years. Not much fun 0 degree blowing, 15 degree snow, or 33 degrees and raining.

Have you tried a new balancer? I had a customer who kept having issues with theirs, I put a different balancer in it and it stopped. Something must of been wonky with the counter teeth.
It has new balancer (within last 6 months). Just one on this fall. Car just wouldn't start one morning and tested to see if it had crank and it didn't.

Dang, that's worse than the cps in xjs!
Sad fact!
my mom had a 1979 Chevy Malibu 4 door, v8. brown, like that guys car. When I first saw his car, my mom’s car popped in my head (rip mom, and mom’s 79 Malibu)…. I loved that car, because it was moms. (Plus it had a v8, my car then had a 4 banger)….. when mom died, my step dad sent her car to the scrap yard, just because he didn’t want to encounter her car on the road some day. I even tried buying it from him, but he wouldn’t budge. Her car had some damage, but not scrap yard worthy. What I wouldn’t give to have her car back!!!

The guy that trained me drove a Chevy s-10. He was about 6’ 8” and just reached from the driver’s seat to deliver the boxes. Big package day then was 5 to 10! That’s the rural carrier job I signed up forWhen I started, one of the 48K routes delivered out of a 1992 Geo Metro hatchback that the carrier bought new in 1992, and probably used for 15 years or more.... they rolled the entire load out in one of those little white canvas buggies....
