I had a friend a couple years ago who had a turbo Impulse.  I always
called it a 'wanna-be Scirocco'.  Hehe...he didn't like that very 
much.  ;-)  140 hp from a turbo 2.0?  Jeez!  How weak.  I always gave 
him a good run with the 8V I had at the time.  I just always thought 
he was a no-drivin' fool, but now I know they're just slow.

You don't think the VR6 is a good bargain?  How many other cars around
$20K can give a BMW 328i a really good run?

Midnight Blue-BTW, what's the factory name of that color, anyway?
