I have owned in the past:
'66 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT 390 V8
'75-'79 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT (I've owned three, wish I still had one)
'84 Ford Escort GT
'82 Audi 4000 Quattro Coupe
'87 VW Golf GTi
And I am thinking of taking a VW Quantum sedan with the 2.2L turbo diesel from my cousin and using it as a daily driver since it gets 50mpg.
