@OM617.952: Get fucked, you worthless twit.

Nice price. These are hella rare up here, and one with GTI running gear is something special. My affection for VW compels me to vote yes.

My perfect garage would be located at the end of a three-mile stretch of twists and bends, in the foothills just before the proper mountains. It would look out over a broad, beforested river valley. From the outside, my perfect garage would be a carefully executed piece of Modernism, with perhaps a dash of Googie for…

@stuffelse: Seconded! Great story.

Nice price, no question. 510s are a personal favourite ever since I saw my first carburated engine up close on a local fella's restored Bluebird.

@subframespacer: flawless victory

@FormerlyPreferredCustomer: Soooo...those 700+ FOOT POUNDS OF TORKS are just going to shred them right off the hubs, is what you're saying.

My late, lamented 1984 E30 BMW with an auto transmission and a clogged cat. I was triumphant when I got it going 130.

@wheatieboy: heart click for you

GRID, 24 Hours of LeMans, Panoz Esperante, in real time. If you haven't killed yourself from the torque, you're going to kill yourself out of exhaustion eventually.

@OA 5599: I see what you did there,

@Disadvantage: Not to bow to convention or anything, but I like Starbucks.

The worst car we ever owned was a K-platform station wagon that my parents bought in a panic when our venerable Caravan crapped out. It lasted two weeks. I've been suspicious of Chrysler ever since.

@SantaRita: It could be done, I think. Would need a pretty aggressive stance and a fuck-you paint job though.

Nice price, no question. The rarity of the manual is enough to justify the price. I've long dreamed of owning one of these (and an M6 to go with it), and getting it with a real transmission is icing.

@tekdemon: Relatively. You could probably find a 750iL on the junkyard, buy the engine wholesale for $150, and strip parts as needed. I figure it's worth it for a 6-speed 8-series.

@PHIL: Heart click for you, sir. This comment is rated five stars in the Michelin guide.

An Audi Quattro. I live three hours from the Rocky Mountains. You do the math.

@vavon205: It's certainly more explicit than three circles. The public works departments tasked with converting to shaped lights would probably appreciate the cost savings.

@Charles Randall: Man, I get that feeling too, and I've got a mostly-stock '92 Jetta. I think if you don't, you fall outside the realm of "automotive enthusiast".
