Hello, and Coupe Quattros

Howdy All

I doubt I'm remembered, but I used to have a 4kcsq before I started 
thinking with my heart and bought an Alfa Romeo. While I sincerely love 
my spider, sometimes I need to carry more than just one female, so the 
time has come to rejoin the fold.

I have picked for this foray the luscious Coupe Quattro, since it fits 
all my requirements and I really really like it (and we can finally see 
if two unreliable cars really DO make one reliable one)

I would love a pearl white or the blue of the incredible but at the 
moment out of my price range "Killjoy" (see www.killjoy.net and I 
assume he's on the list as well)

So a few questions (oh, and to Dan Cordon - 
http://www.20v.org/specs.htm will tell you all you need to know)
• Is it reasonable to find a daily driver in nice shape for $3000 or 
so? I can't buy now unless someone on the list wants to accept an easy 
payment plan (college student, dontyaknow)
• If someone would be so kind as to tell me the size of the six 
speakers, I could plan my audio system now (Maybe this time I will go 
with Humans... fitting for an Audi)
• Is the team dynamics deal still on? And would it be really ugly to 
put bronze wheels on a pearl car?
• Is insurance on this bad mamba jamba gonna be worse than in my 4k? 
Only liability, unfortunately. I'm not eligible for anything else.
• I'm a huge fan of roll bars - are there any that are compatible with 
back seats (I don't care about comfort, I care about seat belts)?
• Should I join the 20v list too, or do most people cross post?

I think that's about it for now. I'm sure I'll be peppering away soon 
enough.
