Micro's Workshop Racing

2015 Wrapup

My Dad is blind and spends most of his time in a wheelchair, so I thought it would be fun to take him along for one of my autocross runs in the Corrado. He loved it, and luckily did not puke.

The car that we're running for the 2013 season is a lovely green 1993 Volkswagen Corrado SLC. The Corrado was the predecessor of the Scirocco, and was built by Karmann for VW. Wiki it if you're really curious, there's a bunch of information there. So anyways, Tommy and I drove all around the midwest looking at Corrados and after seeing a ton of bunk ones, we stumbled upon this gem in Neenah, WI. Single owner, dealer maintained, not a bit of rust anywhere on it and about 100,000 on the odometer. Mechanically it was damn near perfect and the owner knew it; haggling proved to be difficult even for a high stakes negotiator like myself. A price was agreed upon and the Corrado was truly opened up on the way home, perhaps for the first time. Even as a totally stock car I remember being totally blown away by how incredible it handled and begged to be thrown into turns.
