Isn't 500 HP the starting point?

In a nutshell.........

Everyone I need to get in contact with is on my phone's contact list. Anyone I want to contact me has my number/email. Everyone else is cordially invited to bite me.

@Adamskiy, as seen on TV!:

@Møbius: It's a car. Fix it or sell it for salvage. Roll the credits.

Steve Carrel's Sunbeam Alpine in Get Smart. My old man had a black Alpine w. red leather when I was a kid. I loved that car.

@SerialThriller: As stock as possible. The battery gave up last winter and I replaced it with an OEM VW battery for authenticity (it wasn't THAT much more $$$). I'm looking for a OEM VW Gamma AM/FM cassette player to replace the Blaupunt AM/FM CD player that's in it now.

@Full_Moto_Jacket: For anyone who cares, here's what the 1753cc G60 mill looks like.

@duurtlang: Exactly. A rare car should be kept stock. That's what caught my eye with my car, and why it remains OEM. Even in stock trim it's still a class winner at shows. Now, if someone were to knock on my door with $20K, I'd let it go to a good home.

@Age of Aerostar: The NPOCP one isn't mine. Mine's OEM. 100Km on the clock. Garaged since new. Factory paint. Even all the bolts on the G60 mill still have the paint swabs on them.

@Full_Moto_Jacket:

"With only 5,000 built, and exactly zero officially imported into the States, you can be pretty well assured not so see another Volkswagen Rallye Golf cruising through the Dairy Queen parking lot. "

The artsy to hoonage factor was at least 6-1. Borderline fail.

Is that a Ford RS200 Cosworth in the pic? Me want.

@Full_Moto_Jacket: Toronto Sun won't link. Captured image.

@Full_Moto_Jacket:

Here's a cop parked half on the curb, blocking the bicycle lane. He was there for over 20 minutes. Yes, that's HIS TAKE-OUT BAG IN HIS HAND. They're all arrogant asshats.

@songs: He probably spells Avant right, too.
