Jarhead the Movie/Scirocco sighting.

[redbug64 at hotmail.com (Jason Arms)]

I just saw this movie tonight, and YES... the very first 5 to 10 seconds of 
the "burnt cars on road" scene you see the left quarter pannel and doughnut 
tire of a mk1 rocco.  Couldnt tell if it was "really" burnt, or just made to 
look that way.  Wouldnt matter though, it probably got crushed once the 
scene was done :(
