I got the Coupe GT! (&adios 5kt...)

[only5kgt@uswest.net]

Subject matter says it all, I think.
It might be possible that some would wonder why, if I had a
paid-for type 44 turbo, I'd want to pay extra ($1000+ the
5kt in this case) for a smaller, slower Audi. Well, I have
come to the conclusion that, at this time, a little
simplification was in order, both in the driveway and in
other aspects of life(digression...).
The Nautical Blue 1987 5000 CS Turbo was traded in today,
for a 1985 Coupe GT. 75,000 miles newer, cosmetically better
off, mechanically sound (but for a bit of loose feeling in
the front end- full report on that tomorrow), COLD AC
without electronics! The weirdest thing about this car is:
Car-o-Scope directed me towards a Granada. But it did get me
thinking about priorities. I am a one-car, one-driver
household. Quattro is not of the essence for traction for me
here in the desert( I am cognizant of the handling benefits
though) and straightline speed is not the highest item on my
list.
...Perhaps, I had too much car to begin with...
It's strange... this Coupe seems much more in tune with what
I'm after in a car than the 5kt was. And...NO pentosin
(grin)
Wish me luck...
