MetroXFi changed his name!
 

Why? Cuz you got some plates and wanted to be a pimp? I must admit, I am very jealous!

XFi
 

Yeah, thats it.

I guess thats why they call it a vanity plate :)

Don't think the average Joe will know what it is/means/stands for, but I like my car alot-even if no one else does. It's been years since I had a car I thought I may keep for more than a few months or a year. I figure if I get a plate for it, I won't be tempted to turn it for a profit.

The XFI plate is awesome.

Can you even turn an XFi for a profit? I thought it was the kind you bought as both a car and a casket.

NICE
 

Car/Casket LOL.. :)

Definately can turn these for profit. Check out the XFi on ebay...over 2 G's now and still over a day or so left. Shines a little more than mine, but has alot more miles.

That's insane, you can get a
 

That's insane, you can get a gosh damn crx for less than that and a 7k swap and you're running 12s on a stock 6 spd engine, :p

I've always wanted to pick up a metro for like 50 bucks.

Yaaabba Daabbba Doooo!
 

There are $50.00 metros out there...if you want to 'Flinstone' through the rusted floors (and frames).

Shoot, there are free cars
 

Shoot, there are free cars all over that just have engine troubles, I figure of anything an XFi or something powerless people will want rid of off their lawn, :)

XFI and old diesel rabbit trucks are crazy expensive on ebay.

XFI Ebay
 

Funny, it just hit me. The Ebay listing is the guy that gave me the lead on my current XFI from VA. I sold HIM my 93 XFI for the drivetrain(drove him up from VA). It's a small world. At least there are a few other XFi geeks out there :)

Still had his email address and told him to check out gassavers! Maybe another Metro Owner on the way!

Haha, you're such a pimp!

Anyway, it is a small world. I guy I chipped an ecu for sold a transmission to the guy I bought my rims from!

Hey XFI, do you want me to combine your posts to this new account and erase your old one?

I thought that you had just changed his name, I was gonna compliment your skillz when you got on aim.

Name change
 

Just changed my name and some info/avatar on same acct. Didn't open new one. It did change my 'time listed as member', but nothing else. Updated all old postings with new info. Thanks

wow... I didn't know you
 

wow... I didn't know you could do that on this software... weird stuff. I did notice that it lists you as a member for 36 years... how'd you pull that off?

Re: Haha, you're such a
 

Yup, and I got a chipped ECU from a guy who also sent me indexing washers and who is getting me a free transmission. :)

Yeah, but I'm the same
 

Yeah, but I'm the same person and technically I only passed on the indexing washers, because XFi was nice enough to get them for us.

Someone else better want them so we can keep spreading the love.

Ok, WAY OT, but I saw a Metro parked at a house near me that has to be sitting on at least 20" wheels. I'm going to take a picture of it and post it.

Damn, I thought it was for sale and you would buy it for a while there, ;)

Re: Damn, I thought it was for
 

Tammara would kill me if I came home with another car. Also, they'd probably want $10,000 because of the wheels.

Haha. Mehbe it's the DOHC 13

awesome licence plate, xfi. i just assumed it was a photoshop spoof until this thread started.

you rock for boasting your xfiness to a world that's generally more concerned about hemifying everything.

It's too bad he only has a rear plate and not a front plate also.

That blue xfi went for $3,383.33 on ebay! Crazy!

That was Popup's
 

They are getting REALLY good coin right now. Every time gas goes up .20+ cents people flock to ebay for economy. When gas was over $3.00 I sold a base model for $2200 to a guy in NY.

People really search for the XFi's after they have had a Metro and learn that there is a higher rated one out there. $3,383.33 is good money for that...makes me feel good that I have a lower mileage one...NO....RESISTING URGE TO MAKE PROFIt...super powers diminishing...must make modification for fuel economy...

i hear you xfi. i finally
 

i hear you xfi. i finally joined the suzukiclone army a year ago this month actually. and i had a relatively hard time finding one at a decent price - shopped for about 4 months before i got firefly #1. the good ones and the cheap ones were being snapped up *extremely* fast. a few examples of "cream puff" cars i missed out on: Gone in sixty seconds

i ended up making a 20% "profit" when i sold firefly #1. and i spent freely on it for maintenance & upgrades (i.e. if i had known i wasn't going to be keeping it i could have easily made more like 40%).

i practically had to buy it over the phone - i promised the owner a $100 non-refundable deposit if he would agree not to sell the car until i had seen it (the next day). while i was there looking it over, guy's phone was ringing from prospective buyers, and someone else showed up to see it. same story with the blackfly.
