New Owner - 87 Turbo

I recently picked up a 87 turbo and look forward to all the fun. This is the day I got it and it didn't take long for the car to try and kill me. This is really fun.

Step 1: Called Wheel Enhancements and got some FM10, 17" wheels and tires on order. Can't wait to see them on the car.

Ah yes, staring death in the face is just a normal thing with these machines. That's what keeps the adrenalin junkie in us coming back for more! After all these years, I still scream out choice expletives when she's behaving rather frisky on me. You're toast, you're hooked, you might as well resign your self to a major change in life's attitude. If you're not married....perfect. If so, well....let's hope the other mistress is forgiving.

She looks nice....better be throwing some more detail our way soon. Congrats.

Congratulations!
Our fat as,ses will spit on our grave given the chance, yet we still love them.
Get together with some other owners, listen to the stories and laugh your attachments off.
Give your car the respect it deserves and you'll have a ball.
Best of luck,

Matt

Always liked these on the 930, and the gold centers look great with the Marine Blue.

Right now, your car is just playing with you. Like a cat plays with a moth. If it kills you, then it is usually an accident. It's just having fun with you.
