I owned an '84 8V Rabbit convertible when I lived in Naples, Italy. We
routinuely ran it at top speed which was 122-123 mph out on the autostrada.
At $4.75 per gallon of gas (in 1991!!!) you didn't do this often...

The car was stock except a cheap muffler from JC Whipme. Bought it $250,
fixed some minor collision damage and sold it for $4500 before I left.
Great little car.
