All Roccs were made in Germany, right ???

[scirocco-al@insight.rr.com (Alan Stamper)]

I know of a couple of Rabbit GTI's that were retired from auto-xing because
the body seams were pulling apart.  I don't know if it was a rabbit thing or
manufacture thing but it's kinda scary to see a car start to separate from
really hard use.
