After a trip from Los ANgeles to Las Vegas and back, my father once
asked me if I hung a sign in the back window of my WBX  Vanagon for
going up steep grades saying "this is as fast as it goes", like he
once did in our family motorhome when the plastic shift governor gear
broke and left it stuck in 1st gear at 25MPH max.
I gave him a puzzled look and paused, answering "Isn't that what the
stylized VW in a circle already means?"
I guess not so much anymore.
