re: 91 S2 FS (But no Q content)
<<The rest of the cars on the lot (about 6) were Dodge shawdows,
a VW fox and an old Jag. All cars priced under 3k? Then you see
a $28,900 S2? Really wierd.>>
Really takes me back.... I was 16 in 1981... driving along a
country road near Boone, NC. As always, I scanned car lots
as I passed. (Never knew when somebody would let you
drive a V8 Monza, an old Nova SS, or a rusty MG...)
This car lot.... 2 Vegas, a Fiesta, a Vette (Chev-, not Cor-),
a Granada, a Porsche 928, a Pinto.... what the hey!?
Stopped dead in the road! Went in to talk to the guy. Asked
about the Vega's. "Either one for $400." The Fiesta was pricey
at a grand. The Chevette was $900. The 1978 Porsche? "$30,000".
It was there on consignment. He even let me drive it,
knowing full well I couldn't afford it. (Heck, I can't afford it
today!) Monza's just didn't quite do it for me after that...
