[FOOLISHNESS] VW's Gone Wild

[SequoiaGLX at twcny.rr.com (SequoiaGLX@twcny.rr.com)]

We've probably all driven fast, I know I have.  But I've never driven unsafely like that, even when I was a few years younger.  These kids obviously don't know anyone that works road construction.

They're really projecting a bad image, it's starting to look like the whole fast and furious thing.  I'm certainly embarrassed to be associated with this kind of image...

I think that clip is a perfect example of what's going wrong with the VW "community" at large, it just wasn't like this until the last few years.

It sure makes Cincy a whole lot more attractive than Waterfest if I only have to pick one next year, for sure...  The idiocy will just get bigger and better every year...
