hmmm a metro might not be a bad winter beater...
definitely! there are lots of crappy winter beater cars you can get for really cheap if you wanted to...hell, you could buy one for $500 every fall, then junk it in the spring and repeat! hahaha
I bought cheap beater cars each fall for 6 or 7 years. The great thing about a $500 car is it is almost always worth $500 when you're done with it and you can sometimes sell for more. The bad thing is, you are driving a $500 car.....

I drive less than 10 miles to work, I only drive more to visit my pumpkin
Eh... you get used to it. haha.
The funny thing is I got sick of it and that is what led me to get my Protege, because I could drive it all year. Then 5 years later I was back at for two winters before I got my Trailblazer.

I love metros 
I think tires for 13" wheels are getting harder to find...our prelude has 13s and I *think* sean said there were only 2 tire choices on tirerack.com....
I got 4 tires for my old metro for like $180 at some discount tire place chain years ago.
Body panels dent very easily and brakes are squishy

something to start thinking about!!! it's only 2 1/2 hours from home, half the distance of the Glen, and it can be a day trip if expenses of staying over are a factor!! buddy up and gas will be cheaper too!!
The excitement of world-class auto racing will return to the Motor City next summer for the first time in four years with the Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, June 1-3, 2012.
Over $6 million in improvements were made to Belle Isle Park as the Grand Prix made its return to Detroit in 2007 and 2008. On the first weekend in June, the Automotive Capital of the World will once again bristle with excitement as the cars of the IZOD IndyCar Series, the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series, the Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car Series and the Firestone Indy Lights Championship will battle wheel-to-wheel on the temporary street circuit constructed on Belle Isle, the beautiful 982-acre island located on the Detroit River between Windsor, Ontario, Canada and Detroit, Michigan.

Steve Focazio is looking into the possibility of a corral, it won't be our full blown Castrol event, but I am sure we can get decent niimbers. May look into having our own poker tourney at the MGM grand.....a little Texas Holdem, boys?
