Snippits from the list

A small sample of why this list is great-

There's more, but you get the idea,
mostly good stuff, 
mostly on subject, 
sometimes interestingly off target.

Scirocco content:

Removed my airdam tonight, found it had been screwed on quite nicely
with a dab of silicon sealant on each screw and a long piece of double
sided tape. The paint under the tape was sooo nice.

Awaiting the new unit cause the old one was cracked, and so I washed the
car. Didn't matter the sun had set, washed it anyway. In the dark.

I love my car.
