walk away

[Dan DiBiase]

Tough to find a 740 Turbo with a stick shift though, Tony.... Personally, I was 
never crazy about the 740/940 body style. But the 

interiors were beautiful, especially in the dark read leather.... Always loved 
the 240 and still do. But then again, I lusted after a 

Volvo 164 for my first car (but ended up with a 1971 Toyota Corona ;-)

Love the 240's. And, the 740's even more. My son is 14, and in about a year and 
a half, I'll be buying a 740 for him for a first car. Unless he decides to buy 
his own. But, I think he'd rather spend his money on the 1970 Honda 350 ;-)
 
BTW, the 4000q is also non-interference, and I love that about them.
