Realization of how long I've owned my car...

[sukchew at cox.net (Chuck Blue)]

Children,Children.
  You people are making me feel bad.I bought my first Scirocco new in 1979 
and I am still driving it.It has been totaled twice and resurrected twice.I 
had planned on keeping it stock but as you know it has undergone a few 
modifications.I still love to drive that car.Unless there is company to haul 
around in the "familiy" car the Scirocco is the one that gets used.
