what a great person. back in the day VW owners use to break down
on the HWY and people driving a VW would stop and help, signs saying
6volt need jump or just please help wave. SEEMS this day and age times
have changed and people are few and far between.

But if I drive past a VW on the road and the person needs help I'll
stop, sure todays newer vw's have owners scratching their heads calling
for a tow.

* takes shirt off * ;)
