Thanks Mr. Paco. The van is currently getting a head gasket job, a bit beyond my skill and I don't have the room to do jobs like that. Hopefully it comes back running even better. I'm hoping this is the last of the major jobs on that van, bought it from a guy who had zero maintenance records which basically meant he did nothing but change the oil (hopefully) while he had it. So, it's been a long journey of replacing parts as they go out.

As for the geo metro, I had that for years. 1k dollars. It was a great car to learn how to start doing my own wrenching. I'm always looking to see if a cheap one pops up. Great gas mileage, fun to work on and actually pretty tough. Lots of camping trips in mine.

Geezer101 - Randomly looked on craigslist and saw the truck was listed 8 minutes ago and without hesitation said I would buy it for the asking price. I was very surprised to see it had anything less than 200k miles and very surprised it only had 103k.
