The Probe? It's sitting in my garage, all intercooled turbocharged
4-cylinder's worth. An '89 GT (in Arrest-me-Officer Red) with 50K one-owner
miles and in mint not-a-door-ding condition. Although _this_ car never came
near to turning turtle on me (never driven in winter), it has torque-steer
that is, as the reviews warned, "brutal". Right now it's waiting to have
some brake work done so I can sell it and make room in the driveway for my
next quattro.
