Hmm, 4 days (and not too many miles location-wise) apart.

I really think that one of the reasons the 'roc never was very successful
here was it was NOT a bargain by any stretch of the imagination!  I had
TOTALLY ignored VW's during this period - my loss - partly due to bad
experience with my '85 GTI, and also because cars like the Integra had
come along, that were built better and also a better value.  But a better
car??  Naaaah!
