Me at 3 with my dad's 100k mile Coupe Quattro on top, and me with my 86k mile Coupe at 17 on the bottom.

Nice! It must have been fairly hard to find another Coupe Quattro similar to the first one.

We found this one along with two ATVs, a dune buggy, and a jeep when I was two or so being thrown out behind Toys R Us. I guess they couldn't sell them and were fed up. My dad took as many as we could fit and left having spent $0. Apparently the first of the lot that I chose was a pink Barbie Countach, but he wouldn't let me get it. Fairly understandable, I guess...a Countach is a Countach though.

I was looking for a long time. I decided I wanted a Coupe for my first car when I was 12 or so, (about 5 years ago) and started looking. I didn't end up having one as my first car, which was an SCCA-spec Dodge Neon ACR that I briefly owned before selling due to safety hazards. I checked Audifans one day, only to find this gift of a Coupe. I have since happily owned it for almost a year now, and just came across this picture in a photo album the other day. I knew my dad owned one and it looked similar, but didn't expect to find a picture of me in full-pose.

The guy I bought it off of is currently selling a '93 UrS4 with and RS2 turbo and other RS2 goodies for $6,000, in case anyone's interested...

Nice. Shame it wasn't your dad's car. I guess he sold it on, never dreaming that his son would drive one, as oppose to a nuclear-powered flying car or whatever we think we'll be driving in the future.

Fantastic. Front Page worthy.

As reliable as they were, it would probably have cost an arm and a leg in parts before I even got my learner's permit, had we kept it that long and subjected it to that much mileage. He also goes cars at a rate of typically two or three, and sometimes even 3-6 a year. Buy, attempt to sell well, and repeat.

Besides. I'm more than happy to drive the cleaner, lower-mileage one :D

Indeed. This was once our garage (My old Neon I told you about). Another time, it consisted of a '79 Black and Gold Trans Am, an E30 M3, and an E39 M5 (All my Dad's).

We're often confused.

ah yes I remember you telling me about the neon, it was an ACR right?

Indeed. If you look, you can sort of see the roll cage and the bucket seat
