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. :cool: I briefly owned a black 4000 quattro. It came as part of the package of 'stuff' when I bought my ur quattro rally car. Normally-aspirated and, man, did that car sound the part (it had no muffler)!!

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.

Maybe some Army guys here can ID these? :cool:

Nice photo of a $20k car.

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.

2 in the same day, many blocks apart, both of them very nice cars that I'd love to own...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1747076735.jpg
