I went in to the local VW dealer to get a bottle of hydraulic fluid for my Audi. “Boy,” the guy at the counter said, “you must love burning money.”

I always liked the design of those. A guy where I live had one in copper that was just gorgeous. I know because I passed it at the mechanics every day when I went to work.

“So, with Quattro, that means the rear wheels steer too, right?”

You can’t even do hobo-ac (roll all the windows down when it gets too hot) without reaching over and cranking the windows by hand. That said, auto windows is one more thing to go awry on an oldie like this. 

Let me think of the negatives.
1) It’s a Beemer. I’m an Audi guy.
2) It’s 21 years old.
3) It’s over my ideal $5K limit for ‘fun’ cars
4) It’s an automatic.

This is so cool I’m surprised there isn’t a slideshow of it’s pictures. Knowing how J LOVES slideshows lately. Don’t you like slideshows? What have you got against slideshows?

Agreed. They were a beast and handled surprisingly well in the clutch. 

Yeah, the filler was behind the flip-down license plate holder. My ‘74 Buick LeSabre has the same rig. 

I actually had one of these ‘88s with a 350 and a turbohydromatic and it was amazeballs. It was a couch disguised as a tank. I loved it. When I see that ‘built and backed with great engineering heritage’, I would add that the body was made of...well I would say pressed Coke cans but Coke cans don’t rust. That car was…

I hate to say it but....Audi driver?

That’s one of the worst things about Audi as a company: They take themselves SO DAMNED SERIOUSLY!

Short answer...NO. 

Christ on a crutch, this reminds me of the idiots who go on Shart Tank and want $10 Million for a 5% stake in their door-to-door beard trimming service.

Custom paint but unsufficient power plant and mismatched...well,...everything equals a classic case of LGDN: Looks Good, Does Nothing. Supercharged ND.

Prrevious owner was....Abbey...someone.  Oh yes, here it is...Abbey Normal. 

...He said, like they’d show up, or not give YOU a beat-down for interrupting their donut break.

Hitting a Cessna 150 MIGHT have knocked it out of the sky.

I know you jest, sir, but by way of information. the York Regional PD (county mounties) is not the RCMP (Los Federales). Each successive branch of Canadian policing has it’s own particular ‘eau de thoroughbred’ of Dumb.

I’m willing to bet the owner of the school gets AT LEAST damages. The civil authorities will do significantly better, but the fact is, Ontario is out of money, and there’s no one on the way with more. Ford isn’t exactly in Trudeau’s good books these days.

Tail fins are BACK, Bay-BEEE!
