I love my wee car.
I drive a 1997 Geo Metro LSI. It is a tiny, green hatchback. It has a dent on the left side near the gas tank where I leaned once while filling the tank. That's right. I leaned on it too hard and dented it.
It fits nicely in those little spaces between SUVs in a parking lot. You know the ones. Where two big musclebound dinosaurs are rubbing [shoulders] using up four spaces instead of two. My little Geo slips in between them. No doubt pissing them off. When their tires rub against my fenders getting out from the space, they leave a mark I consider a badge of honor.
When I park in a lot my car is usually the smallest. It gets 40 mpg winter, summer, in the city, on the highway and with the air conditioner on. When I fill up at a station I can hear SUV owners on the other side openly weeping.
They should. Especially those big gas guzzling behemoths with the made-in-China Support Our Troops magnets on the back. Support our troops-- I'm supporting the troops. I buy Citgo gas and not much of it. Citgo comes from Venezuela. Cavez country. Where the leader is socialist, thinks our president is Satan and whose oil does not come from the Saudi family. As far as I'm concerned, every car that gets less than 30 mpg is actively acting against the troops and no pissant Chinese decal is going to say anything different.
You want gas to drop in price? Then quit buying it! Invest in more efficient cars and trucks. Dump that Hummer. Get rid of that Ford Expedition.
Bin Laden loves them.
