a Scirocco list CALL TO ACTION!!! (So Rantorific)

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

I have to differentiate between V-Dubbers and V-Dubs, VW and 
Volkswagen's... In my mind VW, and V-Dubbs are used to classify air cooled 
cars only. Volkswagen is for water cooled. I do not consider my self a 
V-Dubber and I never tell people I drive a VW... Volkswagen Baby!

Kinda ercks me like people who say Porsch instead of Porsche!
