So some of you (unlikely) may recognize my name or have seen my other thread, the static '09 VW Rabbit 2.5 that I daily drive.
This is not that car.
This is my other car.
This... is my shitty car.
Here we go:
This was day one. The car has an interesting history. It started it's rounds in the Turbobricks community a number of years back when one of the guys on there (Noah) got the car for basically free. It's actually a 1986 244DL that came factory with an automatic transmission. While Noah owned it, he swapped in an M47 five-speed transmission out of an 88. Voila, I'm calling it an '87. Deal with it.
Noah's then-wife drove the car around and he did the maintenance on it. They got divorced and he kept the car. He gave it to my other buddy Bret, again for basically free. Bret's girlfriend drove it around. They broke up and she was still driving the car. She got a few tickets and Bret wanted out of the car.
So I traded a roof rack for the entire car. And those with good observational skills may notice: The car has a roof rack on it. So I am essentially out nothing, and now I have a car.
Bret's ex-girlfriend was living in a Winnebago and treating the car like a closet. That's where I got the car from in that picture up there. An alleyway in Sebastopol. Apparently it had some running issues and so she wasn't driving it, just using it as storage. But, the price was right...
