I dunno if i could drive one though, they are too small and underpowered, but if push comes to shove i may get one. Then if i don't have to drive my truck every day, i could go wild on the motor (bigger cam, lower gears), but i know i would miss driving it everywhere.

Oh man, do I hear ya. This past year at college, I had to drive the Festiva back and forth...it's basically like a Geo Metro, but a Kia/Ford edition. I only drove my truck to school a few times but it wasn't worth it. I'd get about 45-50 mpg in the Festiva and you can't beat that with a stick. You just have to get used to people making fun of you all the time, and tell them, "If I ever see you again I will run your car over in my truck."
