Just before the UBERWGN i was driving a 300ZX 2+2 (normally aspirated)
and beeing seen dead in it was a very real possibility.  Twice in the
wet I lost traction at speed and did a slow rotation until striking
something hard.  The second time I didn't even get it repaired, lets I
would get in it again.  Went out immediately and got a quattro.

However, the boys in Schaumburg are talking 300HP neighborhood for a
modified 1.8T.  Remains to see if I will be able to swing the cash
needed, though.
