A Geo?

Well, I never thought that I would own one, but I couldn't say no when it was offered up in trade for an 80's yamaha I had sitting around, and I must say this thing is pretty fun to drive.

That car reminds me of a young man I once worked with. He had a black Dodge Daytona, totally stock, looked kinda similar to the car above. Claimed it was the fastest car in Spokane. Day after day at work, he would challenge everyone to race him. It got so bad that nobody would talk to him. A year later, he lost his license, and then he lost his job (attendance issues).

Life is funny sometimes.

I see a Chump Car . . .

Light, reasonably peppy, tossable. Not bad for a trade.

There s a good chance he was right......a simple crank of the boost and a TIi Daytona can put down some serious power......

The geo being a track car make s it ok.....As long as it's not teal!!!!! Lol

I wouldn't call it fast, but for a 500 dollar bike, I figure it may be fun to autocross it.

This was also an Isuzu Impulse. It has a twin cam Isuzu engine and the suspension on the car was very good. There was a guy that autoXed with my club back when they were new. It was one of the more competitive cars in stock class.

So. my goal with this thing is autocross and some street use, gets to good of mpg's to not drive it. so here is a question for anyone who may know, the only grey area as far as being legal that I see is the Lexun windshield, is it legal or not in the state of Washington?
