One with a stick and a 617 turbo might be lovely.

One of my buddies who has a lot more $ than I even gave me a compliment on it. I used to always get compliments on it. It had aftermarket wheels with big openings in it when I bought it. I painted the calipers red. I also removed the rear muff so it would rumble a bit. I loved driving that thing and with the exception of not being very fuel effecient it was as cheap to operate as a 617 diesel.
One day I got a challange by a boy racer in some sort of turbocharged 4wd turbo ricer on the highway. I pretended I didn't notice.
