RE: 3rd Gear Shift -- Was: rear Jetta emblem

Well, if you want maximum acceleration, there's no need to push it to 7300
rpm--max torque and hp are somewhere at least 1000 rpm lower. Believe me,
shift at 95 mph, you won't be disappointed ;)
BTW, I think I may have brought 4th to about 120mph (indicated), but I'm not
totally sure. 5th? The sky's the limit...
