Street Machine “Metrosxl” – Meant to be Mine!

Written by AZAmber of Surprise, AZ (one of a growing number of women members at MyRideisMe.com)

I’ve always wanted a Metro, (as in a Nash Metropolitan) but the desire had long been since forgotten, as I had always assumed that having an old car was a privilege reserved for retirees or people with a lot more cash than I had. I mean, I’m a teacher who makes crap pay and I’m going back to school to be a nurse…like I can afford it right? About six months ago, I started looking online…just out of curiosity. I stumbled upon a few that fell into my financial budget, but was quickly discouraged at their condition.

One Friday night, during one of these browsing sessions, I spot an add. What is this? A 1959 Metro in Needles, CA, hasn’t been on the road in 4 years but it says its in good shape and its for a really great price! My gearhead boyfriend Ryan encouraged me to take down the information, but I was reluctant…for that price it had to be junk.

“Metrosxl” Nash Metropolitan

Amber’s got a thing for Metro’s and probably the best name I’ve seen for any ride at MyRideisMe.com. She tells a great story about nabbing the Metro from Needles, CA for a song, then later earning the double bonus karma points by saving a choking lady with the Heimlich maneuver! WOW!

Even as her first project, she’s doing the work herself and she’s proud of it!
