This was almost my first car: the Geo Metro convertible.

If I'm remembering correctly the weight capacity of this car was something like 350 pounds, which meant that my dad and I wouldn't have been able to ride in it at the same time. That wasn't the reason I didn't get it (it was used and had been wrecked and the radiator was held in place with Bondo)... I really wished it would have worked out.

I went on to get a 71 VW Super Beetle. I like cute cars.
