$800 for a Metro in decent condition, and it's a convertible to boot?! Nice.

Here comes the Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon:

This car has Miami Vice era decals on the side.
Miami Vice featured Don Johnson.
Don Johnson and a group of investors bought the Tropica, and had the car on several episodes of NASH BRIDGES.
The was an electric roadster (no top at all) designed by Bob Beaumont, the creator of the Citicar.
I have a Citicar, several other people here have Citicars.

Where was I going with all this?
oh, yeah, convert it to electric and take it up against a Tesla!
