Not a day after deciding the red 1993 Sukuzi Swift was too rusty to repair, I spotted this 1992 Geo Metro in Ivan's neighbourhood, settled into ruts in someone's yard. It looked like it hadn't been driven for quite a while.

(Pardon the lousy picture quality - old school 1 mega pixel camera in poor light conditions.)

I knocked on the door of the house, and the woman who answered said, "why sure it's for sale!"

After jump starting it, the car ran & drove, though there was the smell of gasoline at the rear, a hole in the exhaust and something loose in the front suspension.

A quick look underneath revealed the body was in much better shape than the red car, though on initial inspection it looked like there were a few rust spots in the floor that would need to be patched.

A deal was done for $175.
