Oct. 30 (UPI) -- A Utah man said a final farewell to the Geo Metro he drove for 35 years by dropping a 1,917-pound pumpkin on it from a height of nearly 14 stories.
Millville resident Alan Gebert said his 1991 Geo Metro finally stopped running this year, so he decided to send the vehicle off in style by destroying it with a giant pumpkin.

Awesome.
Apparently the permitting process was not a hurdle.
If I had a Geo Metro I would have burned it after week one.
Impressive
Good aim.
I love that they made it a community event with bleachers and stuff. Very American.
I loved my geo metro ...
The Great Pumpkin arises from the pumpkin patch every Halloween and brings presents to children.
Somethings tells me the only thing orginal on the Geo Metro was the gas cap.

The Geo couldn’t get away if it wanted to.
Different tastes. If a pumpkin can crush that car, imagine what would happen if you were in an accident with a Ford Explorer....or even a Toyota Camry.
True, but not many pumpkins get to end their life by smashing a car. It was one of the lucky ones.
People will do anything for attention.
But at least this guy isn’t hurting anyone else, wasting tax money, or saying something stupid...
So sure, let’s watch the show and have some pumpkin pie too.
BTW, a 2,000 pound pumpkin is a spectacle in its own right.
Florida man has competition.
