Thread revival!
---
So I'm doing a bit of yard work and a pick-up truck jams on the brakes going past my driveway with the Metro parked in it.
Pickup driver jumps out and asks: "Do you live here - is that your car?"
Me: affirmative.
Pickup guy: "Is there any chance it's for sale? I used to drive one just like it!"
Turns out his was the 1.3L 4-cyl Firefly (manual), and HE STILL HAS IT, parked at his friend's property just outside of town. I thought I knew where all the local dead Suzukiclones were!
Anyway, he said he quit driving it because of frame rust, but the drivetrain is good and only has ~100k kms on it (62k mi). He said he'd love to swap his drivetrain into a clean shell.
Pickup guy: "I just have to talk to my wife!"
Me, to myself: crap!
Haven't heard from him since.
