How did you get your first....

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (Larry Fry)]

So my youngson is nearing Driver's License age.  Saw an '81 "S" in the auto 
trader.  Went to look.  Owned by a cool autocrosser (still  friends to this 
day) who was going to make a project car out of it (oil-burner) but ran out 
of time/space/money.  Bought it.  Drove it myself for two months until 
youngson got his DL.  I really liked it.  (He wasn't thrilled, wanted a 
Mitsubishi).
  Two years later, I needed a new DD.  Saw but one Scirocco in the Auto 
Trader; a white '87 16v in good shape.  Went to look.  Had some driveability 
issues.  Talked him down a little and bought it.  That was five years ago. 
Took care of the driveability issues easily (simple stuff). I still have it. 
It is all original with 223,000 miles and runs like a top.
  (Youngson still has the '81.  It's been turbo'ed.  Twice.  It's his 
project/track car and runs like a raped ape...it may be as quick, when he 
has the boost turned up, as my Y-body.  Been in two minor fender-benders and 
has had two motors and two gearboxes.)
