this one will keep the Fuego rust free :glasses9:

1985 VW Quantum FWD 4cyl 3speed automatic. drove it 60 mi home. found it badly needs new struts, fuel injector seals are leaking, factory speakers really suck, drifts a bit to the right, passenger side window doesn't work and it could use some new tires. other than that it's just peachy, little rusty which I don't care, it runs and shifts perfectly.

the Q

Also means the Fuego qualifies for classic car insurance now! feel more comfortable now that it's got full coverage, set it for a value of $3500.

Sweeet. Those are cars you do not see very often anymore. Auto, is it a wicked dog?

 

[akinaspeedstar]

for being attached to a 1.8l 4cyl (think maybe 80hp) it's not bad at all, geared low enough. plenty fine for my commute to work, but i think I'll keep wishing for a 4th gear on the interstate.

it's true, I've got the Fuego and the Quantum, I've already had MK2 VW GLi and GTi and an '84 Mercedes 300D... I'd love to have a Lamborghini Countach, Alfa Romeo GTV-6, Subaru XT, Citroen XM, Ferrari Testarossa, another W123 Benz(wagon this time)... most of those I'll never have because of money, never know when a good deal might pop up though

 

[Rightseat]

mebbe we should start a "semi-weird but totally cool cars I'd love to own" thread...

--1970 Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF Fanalone , the world's sexiest FWD (google for giggles)

--67 volvo 123GT

--1970 Porsche 911 ST Rallye (Waldegaard's immortal Monte winner)

--69 Fiat Abarth Spider CS

--1978 Ferrari 308GTB w/glassfibre body and 4 2-barrel Webers sluicing hi octane into yowling V8

--1954 Shaguar XK120 MM FHC (alloy body hardtop coupe, 265 hp twincam six, YOWzah)

I only listed 1980's models... if I had to expand it to all cars YIKES that'd be a long list
