Re: All this "maintenance" bull

I echo and applaud your statements.  Sometimes, however, you do find a diamond
in the rough.  My 87 16v cost me just under $3000.  I drove to PA (twice, once
to look at it and once to drive it home, I live in Michigan).  I remember my
fiance telling me, as we were approaching the location, "Don't act emotional.
Just act cool and cold."  Then when she saw the car, exclaimed, "Oh my God!
There it is!  Look at that thing!"  It was in pretty much mint condition.  I
have since invested a bit of $$$ on performance and athstetic mods, but did
manage to save a bunch by buying good used parts.  It is irritating when the
car 'acts up', and I know others (who just don't understand) are secretly
saying "Why?"  But the fact of the matter is, we buy these cars because we
love every aspect about them: driving them, working on them, improving them,
and of course, the looks we get while driving them.  We are willing to put up
with a little inconvenience because we love these cars so much.  It makes it
all worth it when driving along, you get all sorts of looks and glances.

Scirocco owners are a different and unique breed.  No one quite understands
us, except, of course, ourselves and our brethren.
