Hmm. Initially, I was thinking of keeping my 'Rocc just long enough to get me 
thru school.  Then I got the Scirocco "Addiction" thing.  Now when you put it 
that way, spending under $30k to have a light, nimble, and very fast car, 
I guess the car will have to stay with me forever.

What to do in the future:
-Paint it black (na na na na na na na na na na na na naaaaa)<-- rolling stones
-Dump a $7000 dollar Engine in (supercharged Ottinger?)
-Slam the Suspension (all of it)
-Reupholster the Interior in mohair or leather (I can't decide now)
-Coffee can the Exhaust (no, not really -- I would rather own a Yugo than 
desecrate a Vintage Car like ours)

What to do in the distant Future:
-Paint it Black
-Dump in a Nuclear Turbine Air-Driven Drive (NTADD)
-Add VTOL Ports for manoeuvering ease
-Pressurize Cabin, structural enhancement, space debris shielding  for IP 
(interplanetary) travel
-Coffee can the .... wait a minute!
