NO your all wrong--Us american cars people don't even waste our time with
this
"little car stuff".  Well to be honest we wouldnt even fit in with you guys.
We'd have to take our muffler off, get rid of the suspension, and disconnect
4
cylinders and write all over the car.  Humm..... Oh yeah and to make it even
better we'd have to put a fubba or whatever the heck that thing is on the
car........and the date thing---we're just crusin right along.

Did you know about the car show at ocean city md next weekend?  I might go.
You going?

A Scirocco going 134mph?  Big deal.  Dad's Mazda will do that.  Heck lots of
cars will do that today.  Besides  HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO GET TO THAT
SPEED?????  Interesting how they didnt include that.
