Re: Visit To VW Sport's New Location

I love those stories. You should have taken the kid for a ride.. That car
would then for sure be is new mesiah.. I know I took this one guy for a
ride, and now he is dumping his Acura VTEC for a Jetta GLX..

Ahh the sweet suttle power of the VW. Makes me wonder if there are
sublimnal messages coming from that nice low roar of the VR6..
