Hello /o/ , Britbong here.
Is pic related really the best way to get from Orlando to Miami?
Was thinking about going to Florida for my 21st birthday, which is 18 months away. And would a Chebby Suburbiton be an appropriate choice to haul around 5 people and 2 or 3 weeks worth of luggage, including this possible trip?
Tldr: Pic related good way to get to Miami from Orlando or not, Chevy Suburban a good rental for the trip?

Turnpike ftw. And eventually it runs parallel with I-95 so you can hop on I-95 if you want to get into downtown MIA and the beach.
It's not that long of a drive or anything. Gas is cheap enough, get the Suburban of you want.

It's not long, its 4 hours of highway driving on the Florida turnpike
Be warned, people drive like assholes in south Florida

Haven't lurked long enough to know if this is a bait, but I'll take it. Any good with basic bike wiring? I'll have to get a picture tomorrow. The last owner cut practically every useful wire (mainly everything running to and from the magneto) and now it only runs with a battery attached which drains in no time.

What went wrong?
>at 850 miles—the eight-inch center touch screen began malfunctioning because of contact with the surrounding trim panel. Adjusting the trim piece was a simple warranty fix, but other problems followed.
>dry-sump oiling system included with the $2800 Z51 package could not prevent the engine from self-destructing. It grenaded at 6000 miles
>the passenger’s seat-mounted side airbag needed to be swapped out at 15,000 miles
>In sub-zero temps, the LT1 V-8 could take up to 12 seconds of cranking before firing, which surely contributed to the starter motor dying at 21,000 miles.
>the brain of the Stingray’s heating-and-air-conditioning system began shutting down intermittently
>axle seals began leaking lubricant at 25,000 miles.
>it’s worth mentioning that neither our long-term 2014 Jaguar F-type V-8 S nor our 2014 Porsche Cayman S, which both suffered through the same awful winter, had any problems dealing with the cold.
>Throughout the frigid months, the Corvette was the car to avoid. The heated seats only got lukewarm, and the already-finicky shifter felt like it was stirring a bag of cement until the drivetrain warmed up.
>We also were tiring of the cacophony of road and tire noise that suffused the cabin, exacerbated by winter tires.

Shitboxes are loved by /o/. We like to say they have character. We beat them to hell, and they somehow still go another 50k miles. When brand new with 4 miles on the odometer, we smugly donned these vehicles "econoboxes". But they matured, such as a fine wine does. They surived to 300k miles with minimal repairs. Just like a soldier earns the Purple Heart, our "econoboxes" earned their reputation as the "shitbox". There are a few cars that will always be known as great little shitboxes: the Toyota Corolla, our beloved Twingo, and America's frontrunner, The Geo Metro.
The Geo Metro was conceived much the same way I was: during a 4am cocaine fueled grope session in the back seat of an AMC Gremlin.
The year was 1987. A few Detroit executives who were down on their luck decided that we need a car designed for real human beans. A car that would love its 8th owner more than its original buyer. A car that had seen 3 oil changes its first 100k miles, but now is pampered by synthetic blend every 2,999 miles. Sunroof? Fuck that! 4 cylinders? Nope! We want 4 wheels, 3 cylinders, 2 doors, and one goddamn good car.
Thus the 1989 Geo Metro was born. It reigned supreme for decades, much like a dictator in Asia. Jay Leno owns 7 Geo Metros in case you forgot. The Geo Metro is the only car to win at Monza, Laguna Seca, Silverstone, and Talledega. Ford and Chrysler appealed to the US government in 1990, saying that production of the Geo Metro created an unfair advantage for GM. Unfortunately for Ford and Chrysler, 98% of the members of Congress drove Geo Metros and loved them to death. The Geo Metro placed 4th in the 1992 Presidential election behind Ross Perot.
Some say the Chevrolet Aveo was the successor to the Geo Metro, but I refuse to believe. Nothing can ever succed over the Geo Metro when it comes to its main purpose: being a spectacular shitbox.

its a gutless, low power, oil drinking tank.
it will fucking last, but dont expect to get anything more than 100hp to the wheels.
it has the worst possible horse power torque curve, but it will get you there.
