Fwd: AND THE WABBIT IS KING!!

[FlyinVR6@aol.com]

I think that you're going to feel pretty silly when you flip through that mag
a couple of pages and see exactly what I am talking about. Do you live in a
vaccuum? Look a little further than the first ten pages buddy. And just to
make you feel a liitle more lost, I have had plenty of people reply to my
e-mail knowing exactly what I am talking about regarding this months C&D.
Wake-up! This is the Jetta GLX list, right?

The point you missed is that everyone else is talking about a current
article regarding $1000 beaters and you are six months in the past.
