Wow, That brings back memories. I was handed a 96 Geo Metro to play with. And since the previous owner looked like she used it for a demolition derby contender. There wasn't one panel or door or even the top that wasn't seriously damaged. I thought I would try my hand at auto-body repair, just because. Amazingly, I did teach myself after many many times of redoing the same areas and not liking how they looked. But then I finally understood how it was done and refurbished that car back to new condition. Even the inside headliner and seats, carpet and you name it. It was amazing the difference in that vehicle once I was finished refurbishing it. The new paint finish was near perfect and the local body repair guy stated he couldn't have done it any better and was amazed I did that on my first attempt. And it was that same red color as well...

@@marksimmons3801 Good question. These motors are known for running for like 500k miles, but the prizm ones (mostly 1998 and later) burned lots of oil. So the ones in the junkyard are all ran out of oil, thats the only thing that kill these things. Even a good junkyard motor will start burning oil shortly after I install it. To fix the issue, you have to drill 2 extra oil drain holes in the piston. I figured I could either get a junkyard motor that will maybe run for 20k more miles before oil consumption kills it, or I could rebuild mine with fixed pistons and run it for another 200k.

Got me beat, Steve! I bought a 1992 Subaru Legacy wagon from a co-worker for $150. He'd abandoned it in the employee parking lot for about 3 years. All four tires were sitting on the rims, so I aired them up and put a new battery in it and it turned over about 1.5x and popped right off. I drove it for about 5 years and then gave it to my dad, who is still driving it to this day. Japanese cars from this era were absolutely indestructible.

Best car I ever owned was a 91 Metro xfi. Never had a day's trouble with it. 65 mpg on the highway. 55 in the city. Only thing I ever changed on it was put a new muffler on it when I bought it. It had a small hole in it. I was driving with copper spark plugs and had to drop a gear to get over a tall bridge. Replaced them with platinums and made it over the bridge in 5th gear and was still accelerating. Great little car. Neon blue. Called her, Doodlebug, because with the hole in the muffler she sounded like a VW bug.

Looking at this I'm pretty sure that if you left a contemporary modern car out in the open like that with all the computers and flash memory in them they wouldn't start. Much less one of these current modern cars that would be 28 years old like this Metro. You'd need replacement LCD screens and other such nonsense after 2 or 3 years that would be obsolete and a whole bunch of other computers/electronics that would be obsolete. Not looking forward to the day when I have to replace my "simple" car.

Damn for a second there, I thought you were gonna take off down the road with the Hood up! Lmao Isn't it amazing how it's always those little "Cheapo, ol' junkers" that can sit for 20 years with Rotten Gas, and no attention whatsoever, and they will fire right up, as long as they have a good Hot Battery. You.could take a really expensive ride, let it get this old, and be mistreated like this, and you would never in hell get it started again w/o spending a small Fortune. I love how these Cars will run damn near on Water. Seriously, there is very little that resembles Gasoline after it sits for this long, in a metal Tank going thru all the Seasons and Temperature fluctuations, there has been a massive amount of Condensation in this Tank which creates a lot of Water. This was a cool video to watch!

Rolling casket reminds me of the trend toward narrow footwells in many cars. The console has become so large and I feel isolated from my passenger. Early 90’s CRV’s had a nice flat ish floor like a Toronado. Lets advocate for the Flat Floor!
