Yeah Dan! Glad you made it back and sorry I couldn't
help out. Is your girlfriend in Steamboat now too?
If the rocco in the paper is the same one i've seen
around town with a FS sign in the window, and chances
are it is...it's  either mars red or faded tornado(
it's kinda orangey), 85+ 8v, the body and paint are in
great shape except for some bad bondo by the gas
filler door and rear edge of the passenger door. I saw
no rust. I saw it driving today and it sounded like
maybe there was a hole in the exhaust. I also saw it
yesterday parked in the "knoll" parking lot at the ski
area and peeked in the window. It was missing the rear
parcel shelf and the mileage was either 160k or 180k,
I forget. The guy has had the ad in and out of the
paper for like a year now. It was originally $1250
obo, and the ad said it had a new timing belt. I've
seen it parked around 11th street a lot, the guy must
work at Riggio's or Giovanni's.
If that doesn't pan out i may be selling my beater
audi 4kq in a month or two if you're interested in
that.(it's a freakin headache)
