"New" '89 6-peed vert.
Visited the dealership today and pulled the trigger on my "new" toy. I was fun to watch shifting and stalling out on startups but it gives me something to shoot for...
I'd been watching the ads for a few months and decided to take a look at the nearest one in Little Ferry, NJ.
I make the full payment Thu, pick her up and drive home...

I have one "white" Vette so I went with the red, white top, red interior.
Anyway, the white one with blue interior was an A4.
After >15yrs of bracket racing A4s it took a little focus to use the left foot "differently" from training.
Predicted 33deg, not exactly rag-top weather but drivable.
As a plus looks like a friend of the dealer will take the burnt out IROC off my hands.

Hope for better ones during sun tomorrow.
BTW, checked with Eddie at KC and he said they don't have that white one shown on Car Gurus.
What a hoot driving it home. Had fun starting on the hills in Ft. Lee, but neither stalled out nor smoked the tires so learning the "touch" I guess..
The Eddie did a fine job of detailing IMO.
