Re: one less scirocco (or: in the hunt for an '85 black graphic metallic)



Dude, that really sucks. Sorry to hear of your loss. A dead car due to 
someone else's inattentiveness is sick. Esp when its a rocco. Hope you find 
the new one in less disrepair and for free or some thing along those lines.

Glad to hear noone was hurt (even the stupid bitch in the SUV).

GL buddy!
