Can the 1995 GEO Metro make the trip?

I think it is a guy thing.  My husband has this car...it is his Geo Metro.  We acquired it a year ago January 2011.  Our minivan was not running so we scrapped it and began shopping for a car.  We rented a  2009Ford Fusion for nearly 30 days until hubby found this car being sold by it's owner.  She knew him from work and she and her husband had been maintaining the car for years...however no one was driving it.  So hubby asked her how much and she said $1.00.  He only had a $5.00 bill on him so we settled it for $5.00.  We put in several hundred dollars of mechanical work over the year...especially tires.  So now we have this bright Green-colored, no power steering or anything else, four-door compact car.  It's actually pretty funny how this thing just keeps going and going.  Anyway, as you might have guessed...he loves this car.  I hate it.

Ok, the above photo is actually a hatchback model of the Geo Metro we have...BUT it is exactly this color and from the front looks just like this one.  The (below) shot looks just like Greeny too.  We call him Greeny.



So why in heavens kingdom is this man SO insistent that we drag our family down the East Coast in this little pearl?  I have a 3year old and a 10 year old.  When Hubby makes a right-hand turn he jabs me with his elbow.  I cannot survive a family vacation in these close (Car) confines!  It is 22 hours of driving!!!

I say we need a minivan for this trip.  More to come on the dilemma of "How" to get there!
