2021 C4 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist
Default New Toy

i bought a Ruby or DRM 1991 vert for 6k on Dec. 29 so the wife and I have been zoomin' around top down and heater cranked to WOW! Lots of fun!

The new toy is a bit of high miler 153k, she's in serious need of about 40 hours of clean up and detailing. The guy had it apparently didn't know there was an underside to the car! On the plus plus side it has a brand new convertible top.

So once the water lines thaw out and I can get so water I'll start on the clean up campaign.

Happy motoring all!
