Kid looks 14, his tires look like this, y'all be the judges and let me know whether you'd ride on these or not.

Not proud of it, but I've been on tires a lot worse. After 15k I'm surprised those tires look as good as they do. Do you know that he is the original owner?

@adri - I'm glad you're OK. Looking at the size of that truck - if I were you I would go out and buy a lottery ticket. Imagine if one was on a bike. It's one of the reasons I hate riding in the city. Every stop is an opportunity to get rear ended.
 
I had a Corrado. I loved that car, but I got hit by a car turning left into me and it was never the same. Girls would yell at me on the 405 in LA doing 70mph asking about it. I still sometimes look for Corrodes on Marketplace.
A pretty simple shape but still by far the coolest thing VW has ever made

When I moved back to Toronto I had it trucked home from LA. I had talked to VW and they told me it would be no problem and they would support me with working through Transport Canada (I think).

Then when it gets here, Transport Canada asks for proof that the US Corrado has the same bumper protection as the Canadian model. The US model specified some statistic in mph whereas the Canadian specifies in km/h. I don’t remember the numbers but if you converted, the Canadian number was higher than the US equivalent. Government told me they didn’t care, VW needed to give me a letter confirming. And then VW screwed me over by refusing to give me that letter, but only after several months of back and forth. TC told me without the letter the only way they would accept it is if they crash tested the car at my expense. And without all that, I wouldn’t be able to insure the car in Canada.

A friend of my Dad’s was a US car dealer and in town for a show, so he took it for a ride downtown. We were *flying* on hospital row, the fastest I have ever been in a car downtown. A few days later I drove it to Buffalo and handed him the key.

I *still* keep the spare as a memento.
 
I wanted a Corrado VR6 but they were way more money than I had at the time so I settled on a Karmann Ghia edition Scirocco that I traded my 84 Z28 for. Loved that little car. Only pic I could find at the moment was the hatch area. Four 12” subs with the little Punch 40 on display for distraction to competitors and I had a 1000watt MTX amp hidden away that really drove the subs.

You mean to say that you didn't have that little punch bridged to mono running into 1/4 OHM?
Cheater.
