This next car comes as a tip from Matt C who writes: If I needed to say something nice about it, I'd say that it succeeds much better than attempting to make a 1957 Chevy out of a 2002 Camaro. And it is probably considerably more exciting to drive then when (a small portion of) it rolled off the line in 1991. Find this 19XX hot rod offered for $8000 in Wilmot, WI via craigslist.
I've always lamented the lack of belt-drive automobiles from major manufacturers, but the bigger crime is the lack of V-twin power. You can get cars with miserable 3-cylinders or all manner of 4-bangers, but V-twins are only available in motorcycles...until now. Find this 1991 Geo Metro with Harley Power offered for $3,200 here on eBay buy-it-now or make-offer in Watertown, WI with 2 days to go.
As an apology to all of you readers for the pink Studebaker Avanteaf thing the other day, I wanna post an engine swap that is properly done. Something that'll put a smile on your face and black stripes on the ground. Like a 9 second Geo Tracker. Find this 1993 Geo Tracker LQ4 Turbo here on eBay with starting bid of $10,000 and buy-it-now for $14,500.
This next car comes from John M who writes: Geo Storm GSI. Looks pretty! Claimed 280,000 miles and "Lotus Elan suspension." Seller appears to have a Geo Tracker in the background... Good sign, or an indication of possible mental health conditions? Find this 1991 Geo Storm GSI offered for $1500 in Richmond, VA via craigslist.
This next Geo Tracker is an ugly little mutt of a convertible and covered with green paint plus an assortment of speed stickers....so why is it featured on these pages? Was it owned by a celebrity? It is super low miles with a ludicrous asking price? Or does it have a small block Chevy V8 under the hood...yes, that is the thing. Find this 1994 Geo Tracker with small block Chevy V8 offered for $8500 in Crystal Springs, MS via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
The Geo Metro was the product of a joint venture between GM and Suzuki from back in the 1990s. It wasn't the worst car ever built (cough cough L31 Nissan Altima...) but driving one isn't a good experience unless you are an automotive masochist (ahem...cough Kaibeezy...cough) so this next one has been modified to make it worth a second glance. Find this 1989 Geo Metro Van offered for $5,500 in San Lorenzo, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
The Suzuki Swift/Geo Metro/Chevy Metro/Pontiac Firefly (sold from 1988-1999) was a subcompact hatchbox from General Motors with powertrain developed by Suzuki and the build quality of toy from the 99 cent store. The Swift wasn't swift in the least bit, but it was available with a 5 speed manual transmission, fully independent suspension and a super light 1600 lb curb weight...so it makes a great rally car.

In high school, the Geo Metro was voted least likely car to be modified. Today's Canadian spec Chevy Sprint convertible wears a 1990's shade of teal that has long since disappeared from automakers color charts. The graphics on the rear quarter panel and door are reminiscent of the "Jazz" design on the Dixie cup from the same period. These 55 hp three cylinders were known more for economy than any sort of speed especially when fitted with the three speed automatic. Fed up with the glacial acceleration, today's seller took things into their own hands by adding a turbo set up using Home Depot and junkyard parts.

The Geo Metro isn't the skinny kid who got beat up in school -- it is the even smaller kid that was left alone because even the bullies felt sorry for him. But not today. Today, the Geo has been given an adamantium skeleton and a bazooka to settle a few old scores. Find this 1996 Geo Metro offered for $6,000 in Sierra Vista, AZ via craigslist.
The 3rd generation of Geo Metro was introduced in 1995 on the third generation of the Suzuki Cultus platform...but today's custom Metro looks more like a 1994 (or earlier) second generation Cultus, or at least what is left of it. Find this 1995 Geo Metro offered for $1500 in Orlando, FL via craigslist.
This next car is a seller submission from Scott who writes: There's a little group of people out there interested in Toyota 4AGE cars (MR2s, FX16s), right? Well here's a rare bird. A '92 Geo Prizm GSI. Is it awesome or is it a lame-o Corolla? I think it's awesome. It's mine, which might bias me a little. Find this 1992 Geo Prizm GSI 4AGE here on eBay

Nothing beats a good craigslist ad that ends with: Yeah you'll prolly wanna fix some stuff, but for $999.99 it can be yours!!! LOL. LOL? Really? Some people will be LOLing when you roll up in vintage Suzuki Swift GTi, but they aren't gonna scoff when you tell them what you paid for one of the cooler forgotten hatchbacks from the 90s. Find this 1991 Suzuki Swift GTi offered for $999 in San Juan Batista, CA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
The car you're looking at is the best kept secret in the used car market. If you scrolled past this post without clicking, you have proven my point. Actually, if you scrolled past this, you're no longer with us and I can say without fear of repercussion that your mother is a woman of ill repute. Unlike other Geos of similar vintage leaving oil stains at the Salvation Army parking lot, this one revs to 7,600 RPM like a puppy earnestly tugging at its leash. You see, this generation Geo Prizm was the only four-door sedan or hatchback ever sold in the U.S. with the venerable 4AGE twin-cam engine. Find this 1990 Geo Prizm GSi hatchback for sale in Vancleave, MS for $1,650 via craigslist.
Imagine pulling up to a Porsche meet in a 918. Your alien-tech wonder rocket reaches 60 mph in 2.2 seconds, shaming 996 GT3s and climate-controlled short-wheelbase 911s alike. You have the fastest Porsche. Now imagine pulling up to a Geo meet - not just any meet, but the "largest Geo Metro/Suzuki Swift meet in the world" this August in Geneva 
It was a cool autumn afternoon when Robin got the bad news. His crime fighting friend had perished in a bizarre duck hunt accident. The caped crusader's untimely demise did not involve actual fire arms, but a tragic accidental strangulation from the cord of the NES Zapper light gun, at least that is what Alfred had mentioned in a short phone call. What was to become of the dynamic duo? How could he go on fighting crime without his caped friend? Finding another brave soul to don the Batsuit would be next to impossible, but perhaps he could assume the mantle of leader and find a new sidekick. Robin found one of Bruce's suits from high school and it fit perfectly, but now he needed a ride. Maybe his Geo Tracker could be modified to do the trick. Find this 1991 Geo Tracker Batmobile offered for $5,850 near Scranton, OH via craigslist. Tip from Rob "The Hack Mechanic".
In April, we took the Maple-leaf wraps off of the Canadian-only Pontiac Firefly, basically a turbocharged Geo Metro. Starting with the 1.0-liter G10 three-cylinder engine, Chevy added an intercooler (the size of a postage-stamp) and a snail (the size of... a snail) for a grand total of 70 horsepower. Today, someone has lifted the Firefly drive train, ECU, and dashboard from the Firefly and stuffed it in a Yankee Geo where it belongs. And it looks so right. Find this 1991 Geo Metro with Firefly Turbo powertrain in Renton, WA for $3,500 via craigslist.
Owning a 3-cylinder Geo is an exercise in frugality. Something this minimally appointed resets your viewpoint of what a car should be, and yet living with less can be freeing in a Tibetan monk sort of way. That sentiment only lasts as long as the first long trip or attempt at rapid acceleration, where the droning three-banger reveals its inefficiency for American driving. Does chopping off the roof and making it a truck make it more American? You can ask that black GMC Sierra in the background, trying to avoid eye contact.
