I've noticed that too! Except for Jetta drivers, I dont get it. Must be the 
screaming kids in the back seat or something. <shrug>

I have found this to be the case as well. Wether it be a Scirocco or a Rabbit 
GTi owner. The comradery was quite evident!

Um, yeah, but you gotta have double jointed thumbs....it can be pretty painful 
if you dont....


>Can I wear the buffalo skin hat with pride? 


I dunno, can you in your part of the world? You just get shot in my town! :)


I always make it a point to stop for any and all VW motorist on the side of 
the road, if they look like they need it and if its prudent. Then again, I 
always stop for anybody who is incapable of doing the basic fixes. (Changing 
tires for older people, that kind of crap.) I've picked up a guy with gas cans 
on the freeway on Xmas eve. Even gave him a ride back. (it was a whole mile 
and I was getting gas myself anyways.) I hope im not the only one.....?
