I saw a couple Metro convertibles for under $2000 and one almost rust free blue manual for $800:
I suddenly feel the urge to get a Metro convertible, swap it with the 1.3L GTI i4 engine, supercharge it, do some decent weight reduction, put on some better suspension, shocks, wheels, and tires, and have myself a fun, small, 120hp 1500lb convertible that would probably still get 30-40 MPG.
Just for fun, you know, like a weekend toy.
