Got a new companion for the Vette!!!
I'm picking this beauty up on monday!!! Thanks to Paul for testdriving it for me!!! And Rick too for your efforts!
I'm so happy i can't even explain.. i'm gonna have the jitters for a week straight!! Thanks everyone!!! Vette people RULE!!! From Causing trouble with Steve to Late night chats with Tom I cannot express my gratitude enough for everything!!
Now the car... it is a VW Corrado, 1990 vintage with only 68K miles on the odometer. The engine is a Superchared 4 cylinder (from the factory) which goes through a 5 speed transmission. It's a blast to drive and it handles really well. Another neat thing is at 45mph the spoiler pops up, kinda like a Porsche... then goes back down when you slow down to a lower speed. I can't wait!!!
I'm gonna try to get some sleep!! Goodnight!!! :D

Pretty sweet. Though I don't care much for VW's..a nice A/C'ed working radio'ed nice driver, economy friendly car is ALWAYS nice... I've got a 2001 Silverado for my daily. But my dad has been driving it lately because his 82's been in the garage for 4 weeks now...

Yup, it's the Scirroco Replacement. It's gonna get pretty good gas mileage and it's still peppy and fun. I've been in love with that car since i was 16... ok so only 3 years.. but still :D
