[RE: [Re: a Scirocco list CALL TO ACTION!!!]]

I did not realize that you had you car done. I appologize. It is a beautiful 
car and I understand your putting every penny into it idea. WHich makes 
sense, as long as the check book wasn't large enough that everything done to 
it was done with one check. Then, I can see your point of view and 
understand. Mostly what I was saying was that as long as you work your ass 
off for your car, then you have the connection and bond to it. And can say I 
worked my ass off for this car and now look at it!!



Peace Out,
Rhett
