1 year update!

Almost forgot about my 2000 Metro, didn't you?

Well, that makes two of us!

This car will be entering service in the not too distant future as my next winter beater, when the MPGiata goes into hibernation.

I'll be taking it for inspection next week, and will let the mechanic solve the mystery of the steering noises. Aside from a siezed rear wiper, I'm sure that's the only repair it needs to pass, and I've got all the spare parts I need to fix it.

Then: e-test.

Then: anti-rust spray

Then: move a bunch of ecomods from the Firefly to the Metro for the winter months.

More to come...
