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??
