Here is my find for the day.
Hmmm, actually I got nothing. Weird, I always have my eye open at all the auctions I go to, and to be honest I haven't seen anything interesting lately. I am thinking the $1.43 a liter gas price is making people think twice about trading in their high FE rides. I have a few stragglers left in the stash, but it's been a while since I have seen a Metro clone, an old Civic, old Prius etc. My buddy just sold a rotted out, original green/now painted black '93 Civic with who knows how many KMs on it to the first guy that looked at it for full price, $1300. And when I say rotted, I mean don't lock your dog in it, he'll crawl out through the rust holes rotten. Go figure, when I have a bunch no one wants them, and when I don't, they are a hot seller! ha ha

One of these cars is an engineering wonder, One weighs less than 1900lb, one of these cars cost lest than $20k new, one of them is almost 15 years old, yet still the most fuel efficient production car ever made! One of these cars is mine and I love it.

Nooooo! The biggest dealer auction of the year here was last week, over 1600 cars and not a single neat old eco-car. I hope you are wrong MetroMPG but you might be onto something.

More potential edits. 
It's nice you found examples with matching silver/purple flip-flop paint. |

Thanks for the help! Not sure about the "AN" and "ONE" errors? I may need some help with those. Also I get the purple but not the "flip-flop" part of that statement? lol
