You didn't check for capitalization, however, and the only reason you 
want clear lenses is because you have a white car. So, considering 
your car will be all white (or at least without color), and that rice 
is white, you, Chris Collier, will be the first person to create a 
rice Jetta. Now all you have to do is spray paint your tires white.

Say, you still have that Quicktime VR of your car on the basketball 
court, or am I mistaking whose that was....

Anyone remember the driver pages that vwvortex had? Those were pretty 
sweet. Speaking of vwvortex, there are some images of the new S3, RS4 
and S6. Sweet! Maybe I won't have to buy a BMW to get a much faster 
car from the factory.

I'm totally for a M3 after my Jetta but I want an automatic, and the 
M3's are stick shift only. (I can hear some of you shuddering, but 
with the traffic here in the Seattle area, I get shin splints sitting 
in stop and go traffic, and as one of my friends pointed out, cars 
are too complicated, what with all the wheels, and buttons, and 
levers, and pedals, and clutches-- there just has to be better 
interface design, and it's called automatic transmission (or better 
yet, tiptronic). :-)
