Scirocco crazy

[mkii_84 at yahoo.com (Andrew Wong)]

When I was younger, I looked at the owners manual and
looked for the sport mode on my parents old eurovan. 
I never did find it because the eurovan was a 5spd
model.  At times driving the Quantum gets boring b/c
its automatic and since my scirocco is down I don't
really drive manual much.  Just when I get to drive
the Honda thats the only 5spd car in my household.
