I'm 17, and my first real car was a 88 90Q. I must say, without having owned it, 
I probobly woulden't drive like such a crazy person now... My parents are a bit 
conserned now that I also have a 97 GTI-VR6, and that can go much faster! (Was 
gonna get an A4 1.8TQ, but just coulden't wait for the 5spd!)
