        Hey I don't mind the guy I bought my scirocco from was selling it
because his wife was tired of looking at it.  Cool, I got the car for dirt
cheap with an extra transmission because of that, I will not complain!

        My girlfriend is very understanding of my ways.  I am VERY fanatical
about my Alfa, i want her to drive it but she will not.  She is afraid that
she will get into an accident and I will go ballistic.  She doesn't even
like to drive the 'rocco because the shifter isn't like her Jetta (ok it is
a little worn..)
