Ur-Q collectability

Exsqueeze me?  The day the Ur-q becomes a collectible is the day I win the
Tour de France.  Reason #1 There were just too many of them brought into
the country. #2 There is zero market for a early-80's AWD car that produced
145-162 hp.  Remember, we are not talking about a mid-60's Hemi Cuda, 427
alum. block Camero or 427 split-window Vette.  Hearing people refer to
their Ur-Q with such sacred terms reminds me of the posts by Phil of UK 20V
Ur-Q owners being afraid of driving their car in the rain. Huh?  Would I
like to own an Ur-Q. . .sure but not at the price of admission that some
people think they are worth.  Point of reference:  saw an old car show on
tv showing Shelby Corba and Mustang owners running their cars at the track.
. .owners finally came around in their thinking and decided to have some
fun with their cars.  Kinda the whole point.  It a beautiful day out. . .
let's go outside and play.
