    Here we go...

    VW Mk series
    MkI- '75-'84
    MkII- '85-'92
    MkIII- '93-99
    MkIV- '98-Present
    MkV- in production

    I'm in the same boat, mine looks like poop but its fun to drive. I need to give it some love once the weather nicens up, but i cant justify spending M5 money on a Golf....

    Default Oops, I lost the body of my message. My 1986 GTI also

    is going to get some needed cosmetic help this spring. The headliner is falling down, one bolster on the drivers seat is all ripped up (I love the seats, though), some of the outside rubber trim is missing, the front wheel well treatments are all cloudy white, and the black paint needs some clay bar attention.

    I recently put new struts on the car and it now handles and rides almost like new. It is the only manual shift car I own and so it is my choice whenever I want to act like a road racer on the curving country roads. Back before I bought my BMW's I owned a 1973 MGB and a 1970 Datsun 2000 roadster and then the GTI was my city car.

    At times I wish I still had all the former cars I owned. Well, perhaps not the 1953 Studebaker coupe.

    Default Uh, no Bill, just a bland, grey 2-door Studebaker

    Even I would have known enough to keep a 1953 Studebaker Starlight coupe, I think.
