[NOT MINE] FS: '88 16V Scirocco in PA

[jason@scirocco.org (Jason)]

Guys, I'm not too far from Uniontown if anyone is seriously interested in 
it and wants me to look at it.  For those who don't know, I'm the most anal 
retentive bitch on the planet when it comes to tearing up used cars.  Just 
ask Daun. :)
