Hey Vojin,

I joined the VW club too and haven't used it once! I got a shirt (that
doesn't fit)... I got an Road Atlas (which I already had)... I got a
calling card (which I didn't need - fiancee works for phone company)... I
got a sticker for my window which had the white colors in the VW logo
streaked... I got the discount like you too. HOWEVER, my dealership
(Day-Apollo, Coraopolis, PA) quarterly sends out coupons which blow the
club ones away....  20 or 25% off parts AND labor! I've not gotten ANY
benefit from the club. And why don't new owners get enrolled into the club
for free anyway? I've bought other makes of vehicles and had similar
offerings INCLUDED. I guess that's VW!
