When they introduced the Geo I got to drive one into a mall spot. Was fun to do but they gave us strict instructions to drive slowly. Anyway, R.I.P. Geo.
Sold those back in the day. Metros were a total (heh) nightmare. Parents were always coming in to look at one for their kid, until they saw the insurance rates. A swift kick to the bumper would total one. Because the bumper was filled with foam. No lie.
Took a man on a ride and he rocked it down the interstate at 70mph. We got back to the lot, popped the hood, and the little 3-cylinder (again, no lie) lawnmower engine was hopping on it’s engine mounts and venting an alarming amount of vapor.
I so wanted a Storm, but they would be creaking and falling apart at 30K miles. Roommate had one that was only a few years old, paint mostly gone, clear coat long gone, and it rattled like it was full of washers and ball bearings.

God I miss small cars
They definitely still exist
