I realize that he had the ur Beetle in mind, but still... ;)

If I can't figure it out, I'll email it, or snail mail it to Mike Smith.

Daymn... 
That works perfectly with the new EPA standard, which is usually 2-3MPG

I have it on DVD, how do I get it into my PC?

car!!!  Oh, sorry.....it's not just a car IT'S A SCIROCCO!!!!!
