Momentary mumble.

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

I think you might be refering to the Touareg commercial that got pulled sometime back...  They should one pulling a streamline like 20-footer.  Lo, & behold someone bought a Two-rag because they had one...  A/T went south, the fella wanted VW to pay.  They did, and then they promptly bought the vehicle back...  Doh...

David

Touareg = Two Rag, one for when you shit yourself because of the high price to buy it, the other for when you shit yourself because the high prices of the parts...

I replied, "Well, what kind of P/S fluid did you put in?" She asks her boyfriend, "Lucas." "I'm sorry, I should say what color..." She asks again, "Red"... "Okay," I replied, "that is the cause for the whine there. You need to use the green P/S fluid we sell here- "Listen, will you just tell me the fucking price of the goddamned P/S pump?! Every time I call you fucking people, you tell me I put the wrong fucking color this or that in it. Just tell me the price of the fuking pump!" Now I am suprised I did not hang up on her, or scream back. Instead I said, "Ma'am, you do realize that I am on the learning curve with this, don't you? And you also realize that I am trying to help you?" "Just tell me the price of---" "Alright, hold on..." Boyfriend comes on the phone, sounds like a real mouth-breather, "Yeah, how much is the pump?" He mutters in
