Tonight I’m opining the one car I REALLY wish I’d held onto. It’s not a Porsche and I wouldn’t trade my Porsche for one. However, I’ve owned a version of every model BMW from 1969 to 1998 and I would trade any of those for this car. This car had AWD like the Audi’s I’ve owned, but it wasn’t an Audi.

The car I’m missing tonight was made in the 1980’s and had wonderful sport seats with grippy suede leather center inserts. It had a strong V-6 engine and handled beautifully. My particular car was silver and exactly like the one on the cover of Car & Driver. My car was technologically innovative in it’s time and the automotive press loved it!

BUT...I CAN’T FIND ONE!! I’ve searched for years and can’t find my car! Ferraris are ‘a dime a dozen’ and Porsche 959’s are ‘a snap’ to buy compared to my car!

I should NEVER have sold it! My car was quick, agile, and reliable. Audis and BMWs chased me! I put 55,000 miles on it in a single year! And had no problems at all!

I don’t know if many would share my passion for this great automobile, but since many of you could probably offer an accurate guess, I’m posting this as a (hopefully) pleasant riddle. In other words, can you guess what car I’m pining for!

The first Pelican with the correct answer gets a ‘thumbs up’ enthusiast award for automotive knowledge! And, if anyone can help me find a solid example of my car that’s for sale, they will garner my undying thanks!

Good Luck!
