If any car deserved a turbo to make its performance match its look, it was the Audi 4000s Quattro. I loved mine, but longed for more power than the naturally aspirated 2.2 liter could deliver.

Les - I can't recall the exact details of that 4000 but it had a highly-modified 10V 5-cylinder turbo in it along with what I recall was 4:30ish gears. It was insanely fast. Total sleeper car.

I can see myself snapping one of those taillights off while I'm washing it or getting it hooked on my pants or something.

NHTSA has a recall on those ID vans. Apparently, the rear bench is too wide and can fit 3 people. It is meant for 2 pax, so there are only 2 sets of seat belts.

Sat for years in a back yard
Owner refused to sell this beauty so it sat in his back yard for 20+ years. Finally disappeared one night about 7 years ago.

Is there a car that depreciates faster than any Bentley? Maybe a Maserati?

To be fair, most of the pix I post on this thread are just cheap cars that you don't see anymore, so I can't really judge.
