Ya, it was the previous owner’s daily, drove it in and out of Boston every day (lived in burbs, worked in the city). The fucked-up-ness of the front bumper also shows that he used Braille to park, or at least he people he parked next to did :headbang The only things he did right was add LoJack and wheel locks. Pretty sure he had a C5 Vette as a weekend car, as I found a picture of one in the first page of the owner’s manual. Left it for me as a clue, I guess :lol ---

I remember the build of that car. It was while I was building mine. I sort of miss my MK2. I brought it back from the dead and pretty much restored it. By then I was so pissed off at it I just sold it. Never even registered it. ---
