Re: Honda v. Audi

[Timothy C Salazar II <tsal2@juno.com>]

My `86 Coupe GT with 198,000 miles on it gave me no real problems up to
the point it was destroyed in a collision.  And I was able to beat most
mid-80's Accords  in late night street races.  Not too shabby.  But this
car was probably the exception, not the norm.  Plus, I don't know what
kind of work/repairs the original owner(s) did to the car.  I do know
that the 5cyl Audi motor is pretty much bullet-proof, IF TAKEN CARE OF! 
If I remember correctly, didn't Honda still have that nasty rusting
problem back in `85?  I owned a `78 CVCC stationwagon as my first car,
and it was literally eaten away by car cancer! And I live in San Diego!!!
Great car for a highschool student trying to get to his part-time job,
though.  

Love, Like, or Just Plain Tolerate,

Timothy
