Well, not to Minnesota... but certainly to DSMs. I picked up a '96 TSi AWD back in April, and it's my first.
I was born here in the cities, grew up in Plymouth, and for the past two years have been in Ames, Iowa as a student at Iowa State. But between failing out of school and a breakup that left me unwelcome in my apartment for this fall, I made the decision to come home and live off my parents, and will be taking classes at Normandale until I can get back in to ISU.
Now, as for the car... as stated is a '96 TSi AWD, owned previously by a DSM guy, and was his 5th Talon. Sold it to me for $3500 in what was basically his "getting out of DSMs" sale. So far I've done the few free mods that he hadn't, and am going to start work on the suspension next. Plans are for this to be a decent autox car when I'm through with it, while staying reliable enough to drive on the daily.
It was nice meeting some of you at Old Chicago last night. I'll be there every week I can :D
