You think you tuff?!?! 
Well maybe I should of mentioned that my hyundai did not have fifth 
gear.  No it wasn't a 4 speed it was a five speed without fitfh.  
Consequently I couldn't bring the car over 60 mph cause it would blow 
up.  And 60 was pushing it.  In the end I did blow it up and put a 
new engine in it.  Then I blew that one up and rebuilt it.  In the 
end a car that was worth about $400 cost me 2000.  It was worth it 
though (well, not really) because the garage I worked for taught me 
how to fix it.  And thats where I learned alot of basic machanic 
skills.

Sorry for the none scirocco post.  It is kinda funny though.
