well, julie, i decided to make up my own answers:

You're driving through a rainstorm and suddenly find your car is submerged
in water. Your power windows short out and your doors won't budge. What
would you do?

- scream "my baby!!!", then recall that i am driving julies techno-car, and
hit 'ski mode'.

You're driving along when the road suddenly becomes foggy and visibility is
near zero. What do you do?

- since driving my scirocco brings me to a higher plane of awareness, i am
one with the road, and thus i have no need for silly headlights.
- (alternate answer) - borrow patricks car, as the 4 megawatts of headlight
power instantly vaporizes any annoying fog it may encounter.

Your vehicle is suddenly stuck on ice or hard-packed snow. What would you
do?

- throw on cathys blizzacks and proceed to have much donut-fun.
- (alternate) - proceed to have fun with the stock tires. much more slippery
that way :).

You don't have ABS and must stop quickly on a snowy or icy road. What would
you do?

- e-brake, baby!!!

you do?

- go home and grab ansons video camera, mount it in back, then see just how
much air i can catch on that thing.

You're driving in snowy/ice conditions and must drive down a hill. What
would you do?

Someone with a bad case of road rage leaves their vehicle and approaches
your car. What would you do?

- luckily i have installed the "trunk-monkey" mod in my car.

When is a carjacking most likely to occur?

- sure aint gonna happen in a rocco. those dorks are after alteza lights and
neon.

You hear on the radio that "bump and rob" carjackings are on the rise. What
would you do if another driver bumped into your car while you're driving?

weaving and cimong close to your vehicle. What would you do?
