[OT: 4 AM musings (Rocc related and LONG)]

Carrots was a $300 purchase, and looked rough enough to end up getting 
towed to a wrecker, but it's hard to say.

My other 84, which has a very clean body, but a trashed interior, was a 
$150 purchase (from a guy about 4 miles away in the middle of no-where - a 
friend I went to school with called me up and said his tenant was moving 
out and had a Scirocco that his son had left behind that needed to go, was 
I interested?)  This one would have ended up at the scrapyard for sure.

The last Roc (rough 86, parts only) would have ended up there as well.  It 
was running when I bought it - I saw it in a parking lot on campus and 
left my card on the windshield with a "Call me if you want to sell your 
car!" note on the back.  The owner called that night, and within a week I 
was towing the car home.  It has no floor on the driver's side, and a fair 
amount of surface rust on the upper panels - like I said, parts only.

But then, most of the other 20-odd cars about the place fit into the 
"saved from the crusher" category - you get them cheap that way... :) 
(usually.)
