Junkyard Find: 1991 Geo Storm GSi

The Storm, a rebadged second-gen Isuzu Impulse sold by GM's short-lived Geo division, was with us for just the 1990 through 1993 model years and didn't leave much of an impression. I see the occasional Storm in wrecking yards these days, but it takes a factory-hot-rod GSi version to get me to reach for my camera. We saw this '90 Storm GSi in a Colorado yard a couple years back, and now I've found another in Northern California.

Let's watch some Storm ads!

The 16-valve performance force from Geo.

The GSi was quite a bit quicker than the '87 CRX, but depreciation of cars bearing the doomed Geo marque probably meant that this ambitious young paralegal would have been better off sticking with the Honda.

In Canada, you could buy this car as an Asüna Sunfire.
With 130 horsepower, the Storm GSi offered one of the best bang-for-buck deals of its time. I think I'd still have bought the Sentra SE-R, though I was driving something a little more hooptie at the time.
Presented without comment.
Today's Junkyard Find looks just like my super-rare diecast (actually all-plastic) Geo Storm GSi, which was given to me by a LeMons racer who claimed it was a dealer-promo item.
