Ditto on John's comment. I happen to own the exact same "ugly" 85 Tan/brown and I'm happy to report that I have not seen one in at least a couple 100 square miles. Suffice to say that resale value aside, the uniqueness of such a brick on wheels place us, the few, the proud ...the vanageeks in a class of our own. I am concerned about the rust factor getting to my ugly 85 Tan/Brown. The snow is mighty white but just below lurks that damn road salt! Anyone knows of a good Anti-Rust shop in the New England area that won't cost me the down payment to lease a nice Audi A6 with Quattro?? Jorge '85 Wolfsburg Weekender (Betsy, a.k.a Plan B)
