Re: Corrado Royalty

["Ryan Schuermann" <rts@nol.net>]

Corrado? What Corrado? I don't own no steekin Corrado!

I'll admit Corrados kick ass. The car is a work of art, and still
looks more modern than most cars rolling off the assmebly line.

If the C didn't cost 2x as much to upkeep as a S I'd pick the C 
anyday, but there's just something basically correct in thought;
Why buy 1 C part when you can have 1 S part , and a spare!

If VW had shaved off 500lbs, thrown security out the window and 
installed crappy air bags (which could be removed), THEN it would be 
a whole different story. The S is a great sports car, but if you have 
the money and the means, wouldn't you rather have your significant 
other driving in a C when the Crown Vic. T-bones her?? the C is a 
different class of car and most drivers of Cs are a different class 
of people, they buy it for the refinement, the modern features, the
security, wheres we want to feel the road, be able to manhandle our 
roccos feel like were driving a f-18 hornet compared to leer jet.

all different people drive all different VWs, yer gonna run into a 
few prudes in ever car, there just happens to be less Corrados, so it 
seems to happen more maybe?
