LOL.... I'm not going to argue with you since you drove a VW. You would have been destroyed in an accident with a Chevy or Chrysler. I hope you meant stick SHIFT! Auto's were shit.
What is with you women and VW's? I had a girlfriend in the PI, then in Calif. and when I got out of the Navy back in Ohio all who had VW's. I'm an expert at repairing them.
