Unfortunately this is not photoshopped

Ok so I'm changing the oil in the mower today...realize I don't have enough so I make a quick run the the local Dollar General....and what do I see parked in the parking lot??? Without a doubt....the "sweetest" ride I have ever seen in my entire life. I had to rush back home just so I could get the camera. Here are a few pics for all to see. I think the Redline has some pretty serious competiton.

You never know might be a Briggs & Stratton with a Hemispherical head.

If that pulled over to pick me up Hitchhiking I think I would probably just go ahead and walk.

Somewhere, out there in cyberspace, is a metro forum, where a thread is probably being started about how cool it is that people still stop to take pictures of a Metro Rally Sport. So rare, that they still get attention after all these years.

This guy or gal obviously love their car as much as we love ours. Notice how far away from the other cars its parked. We would NEVER do that. To each their own. Great mpg's anyway. Maybe there is a bumper sticker somewhere on it that says my other car is a SKY!!!!

I lolled when I saw the NC plates. Seriously, what is it with the retarded spoilers on cars these days? It's usually not the same color as the car, and is accompanied by one of the 'farting' mufflers. I know it's a matter of personal taste, but where's the taste?

In the second picture you can see this performance nut put a set of simulated drilled rotors on the car. They're so high performance, they don't even need calipers!!! Needless to say, stopping power is not an issue for this bad boy.

It's gross when people make an American car a ricer. It's even worse when it is a Metro.
