Micro's Workshop Racing: Solo Nationals 2013

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.
