HA!  I just love these people!  I love it when I call parts places and say: "I need 
a clutch cable for my car but I want the manually adjustable one."  They say 
"what year is the car" yadda yadda.  I tell them "it's for my '87 16v" and they 
proceed to say "it's $120."  I say "NO I want the manual kind like on an 83 
Scirocco."  They say "it's not made for the 16v."  I say "I KNOW but that's the 
one I need" etc etc and just to give me a price and finally they just say 
"well....for an 83 it would be $22."  Some people will never get it....
