Even though I already found the winter beater, I haven't stopped browsing the ads. I guess I'm already looking ahead to next winter's beater.

I have learned that the Swift/Metro market dries up in the winter. (Maybe it does for other cars too, I dunno.) Haven't seen a local 3-cylinder Suzukiclone for a long time.
