If you like the wheels, you should see the brakes...

The Rx7 and the Mazda6 Wagon.

Really there's no winter here, just an extended fall! Back east though I've had all manner of winter beaters. '83 Nissan Sentra, 88 Accord, 90 Subaru Loyale, 90 Geo Prism, and my favorite: the 86 Audi 5000CS Wagon.

I should make out ok - but I DO have an actual 5spd tranny for the VW so if it gets tough I can always whip out the mad diesel POWAH!!

JoE: In order to help you whip that V-dub onto the road, I hereby offer 1 saturday of engine/trans R&R.

On the condition that I get to do some doughnuts in it.

mine would be 90 mx6 if I could fire it up after 18 months of sitting and rusting.

The last time I drove it, spun out in Shanonville and cooked the brakes.
