Re: Rice on the VW scene...sick

["Jason" <jason87vw@nac.net>]

Point well put, and I can understand this better than I could your first
message. It was kind of silly to begin with, I looked at the Passat in the
picture and thought...That's a VW, what do you mean by Rice ? Then I said
ohhh, it's because it's all decked out. Oh well, doesn't look bad except for
that read bumper under the front bumper. You on the other hand sounded like
a raving lunatic :-) and that's why I posted the message. We can go back and
forth all day. I personally get annoyed when people freak out and say stuff
like "this is a Scirocco list, not a...." it makes it seem like they are
trying to control the reteric. The reason I am on the list is to learn about
Scirocco's and find answers to the questions I couldn't anywhere else. I
find the other "non-roc" posts sometimes entertaining, sometimes
annoying...I rarely get involved in stuff like this because it just
perpetuates the useless emails. It's funny that we all own Sciroccos, that's
good enough for me, most people don't even know what a Scirocco is, or they
say "oh yeah, I remeber them, they're fun cars right ?"....I get your point,
I would suggest to you reply to the sender of any "rice" emails like you
replied below, or just delete them...I don't know what will work, and my
fingers are growing tired, I just didn't want any hard feelings between me
and some other Roc owner...I'ts a brother hood, and I would take a bullet
for you dude...Well, maybe not take a bullet, but I would sell you a part if
I had it :-)
