I had one. It was fun, but I never really drove it. Just piled Cusco and Greddy parts inside of it and then sold it.

Buy it if you got the cash. The design is timeless.

If we're talking box styling I'd rather go for a mid 80's 5.0 Rustang.... always loved those cars :shrugs:

Eh. Take 'em or leave 'em as far as I'm concerned and I'm a Mustang fan.

You definitely want the 190e 2.3-16V. Since we are talking 80's car. Audi Quattro is another one of my favorites.

My mother in law had one and I drove the **** out of it all through Germany. Sketchiest 125mph I've ever driven. There are a lot of other worthwhile cars to pursue in that price range. I'd steer far clear of the 190 if I were you.

Irrational desires.. I am trying to work out a deal to pick up an '87 Justy DL in Maine, and drive it back home. Only problem is they won't call me back. They probably think someone calling from CA about a $1500 car is a scam, and I have to say I don't blame them. Anyway, that's pretty silly in the grand scheme of things. I am deciding that the fact that it's not working out is a sign.
