My name is Alan Starnes. I own a Blue 1989 Geo Metro. Here is a picture - as you can see it's a very clean car. It's probably the best car ever made because it doesn't take much gas and it's a big hit with the ladies. Sometimes I'm not so sure if they meant it when they say, "Cool ride Alan!"...and yeah...I know there's a real good chance they're making fun of it, but I don't care.
If they are making fun of me, there's also a good chance that they're jealous. Maybe they're jealous because it gets 52 MPG on the highway while their crummy sport car only gets a lousy 20 MPG or something. Anyway, I wouldn't want a Camaro or Mustang or Jag-oo-ar (as the english say it). The insurance is way too high and you could never drive it as fast as it could go, because of the speed limit laws and all.
With my 1989 Geo Metro, I can drive it as fast as it will go. Lately it's been getting past the 85 MPH mark when I "open 'er up". That's the cool way of saying, I'm pushing the gas pedal to the floor board. When I first got the car, it couldn't go past 75, but now it's at 85. Maybe that's because the engine cylinders have opened up over time. At least that's what my dad used to say.
So here's my site: www.1989GeoMetro. A site dedicated to all the underprivileged "A to B" cars, or cars that get you from Point A to Point B - like my Geo Metro hatchback. It does the job without much fuss and I'm pretty much saving the planet because it doesn't use much gas.
Did I mention the girls get all hot and bothered when they see it roll by?
