Im not saying anything about driving something to get from point a to point b. And wtf are you talking about laughing at paying next to nothing for the geo.. theres a whole slew of cars that you could pick up for next to nothing. Being picky doesnt mean you lose out on a good deal or being frugal. I would rock the shit out of a turbo geo though...just enough power to get out of its own way and ~60mpg, hell yeah. But I did see oen recently in a head on crash with a trailblazer..not pretty on the geo side.
