The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.

      My mom said the same thing. She also said that 4 moderately strong people could move her geo metro if it was parked in the wrong spot.

        I have been a part of a group of people that moved a geo metro across a parking lot. Took 6 high school kids about 5 minutes.

      the Geo was both awesome and shitty. I wish 2 seat cars became more of a thing. I hardly ever use the back seat, and it’s not like anyone can afford to have kids anyway.

        2 seat cars are a thing, but they’re typically low-clearance sports cars.

      and the sprint (the earlier version of a metro) before that, even… in the 1980s.
