>> II don't have any personal experience with the old 30cyl Geo Metros, but I have heard that they make an excellent towed. Of course, they are really long in the tooth and I'm guessing might be a little hard to keep on the road. If you can find one with low mileage and don't mind doing some work on it, it might be ideal.

It 'only' has about 120,000 miles on it, so it hasn't needed much work, but certain repair parts are overly expensive. My mechanic friend tells me that Suzuki (it says Chevrolet on the outside) parts are second only to Isuzu parts in price.
