OH MY! That is horrible, I feel sick. That car was not only very very nice (and rare) - but owned by one of the coolest, most friendly/welcoming guys Ive ever met. Not Fair.

Im sorry Dan, I really feel for you.

I'm sorry, I should clarify. This prisitine Turbo S was not mine. This Velvet beauty belonged to a close friend. ::sorry::

Nope, it's real, D90 wheels, and 6.5" speakers from the TurboS in the rear.
Sorry Dan..

ME TOO!! Those of you who know my car have seen the fire bottle (chrome) in the mount by the passenger floor. That, and I have a detachable face MP3 player, not a stock casette. It's a shame when you have to ID them by their dental records!

The rust is what happens within hours of baking off all protection and dousing from a fire truck. She belonged to Schmitty. (Fest 02 fame)
