Absence makes the heart grow fungus?

Well, with the Mirage sold, the Metro is officially back on the road.

The plan was to put the Firefly in service, but my insurance company is being stupid and greedy, so that won't happen until I sort that out. Maybe next month. MPGiata will come later in the summer. Too many cars.

So I just re-read the last page of this thread and had forgotten how annoyed I was last year with the Metro and all its faults. Students, use "plethora" in a sentence.

I wonder if I'll hate it. No doubt it's a huge downgrade from the Mirage in every way except fuel economy.
