GOOD MOVE !!!! You don't know what you got till its gone, believe me.  
Don't be a sucker like I was, assuming my unprotected car would be 
waiting for me every morning.

Hey tell me about it. I just put 200 K on my new '88 16V which I've owned 
for about 21 hours now. 
Three weeks of driving a cavelier rental put it all in perspective. That 
thing was gutless and cushy-like driving a bar of soap down the road. 
The new scirocco gave me an genuine emotional high after letting it rip 
for a few hours. All the ugliness of the past few weeks disappeared.  
This thing needs to driven hard, and resents me when I take it easy. 
(yeaaa, that's it officer...) I'll never drive anything else. Amazing.
