The Geo Metro That Crawled Out of Hell and Died
As I was driving to work this morning, I just about lost it. On some lady’s lawn I saw a crappy car – it was a white Geo Metro with a mutilated front end, rust, and two front spares. As you might have noticed, mutilated front ends and rusty spares automatically qualify a crappy car to be posted on my site. Naturally, I had to stop and take some pictures, clearly risking my own well-being because the owner could jump out of the house window at any time and chase after me. I was also late for work.
The reason I know the owner was a lady is because when I was almost done taking these pictures, she ran out of the house and started chasing me. Thankfully, I was parked nearby, my car still idling. As I hopped in and floored it, I saw her hurl a piece of brick at my car, but I was already too far away and the brick fell short. Through the diesel smoke, in the rear view mirrow I saw her pull out a legal pad and a pen out of her robe and start writing something down, perhaps my licence plate number.
Too bad for her I swapped the plates before I left the house this morning. Good luck finding me, lady.
It’s dangerous work taking pictures of all these crappy cars. Risking my ass for your entertainment. You better recognize.
I couldn’t find a contact me page… so I’m going to post this here:

It’s a new beta site for car enthusiasts… maybe a good way to promote your interests :)

You know, I might just go back and try to reason with her. I’ll keep you posted :)

Why would someone chase afte you? Hasn’t this hapenned every time you take pics of a crappy car?

It’s in the genes…people that have crappy cars, as a societal defense, chase after anyone who gets to close to theirs.

Either that, or I’m just making this shit up because I happen to find the premise hillarious.

After the third time, I began to wonder. But I didn’t care because the idea of it was so funny. :)

I meant to add that I haven’t seen a Metro on the road in a very very long time.

SMB, I make myself giggle like a little schoolgirl with these posts. I’m very happy there are people out there who also think this is funny.

There’s a For Sale sign right in the pics, y’all :)
Comment by Jonathan — March 1, 2006 @ 11:32 am
Yeah, well, it’s still for sale if anyone is interested in getting bricks hurled at them :)
Wouldn’t it be funny if I sold this crappy car for the lady?

Just so you know, I drive a firefly ( allbeit in a lot better condition ) and those front wheels are not spares they are the real factory equiped tires ( minus the hub caps )
Not fast, But Fun
