Isabella met her sad demise recently. This was the Tornado Red 89 100 that
I fell in love with a year ago. She was with me while I lived in Hawaii,
and I moved 6 months ago to Portland OR. She was supposed to join me later
this year.
I let a friend drive her around for awhile and she got hit by a teenager
going 50mph in a parking lot. The car is totalled. I can't tell you how
much I miss her. I really want another 44, but right now I can't afford
the maintenance...
So new car...
I'm now driving a 91 Saab 900 - great car, but its no Audi...
I'm also driving a 90 Infiniti Q45 which I really like (awesome 278 hp 4.5l
V8). Its got the touring suspension and the 4 wheel steering, its all the
fuel injectors replaced (common problem w/ the Q) and a tranny
rebuild). It drives nice, but the Audi is still the ultimate long distance
tourer....
I hope to replace Isabella within the next year either w/ a V8q or a 20v
Turbo 44.
*sigh*
May she rest in peace...
