Subject:      Re: Our rigs ain't pigs (caution: major argument)

I saw an old writeup for the early Rabbit.It said "not an ounce of fat".If
you look one over carefully,it is true.Not an ounce.My friend bought a
1977 Rabbit, new. This was when American cars and the honda civic played
catchup  to the Rabbit.That Rabbit got 35mpg with a full load of drunk
people.Accellerated as the fastest producton car in America(so my friend
said).He got a Hurst T shift knob to put on the rabbit stick shift rod.
Needed it.What a car!!


I saw a new Camry today. Brand new.Just awful.A super big vinyl covered
bumper that streached to the front doors.I have absolutely no doubt this
is a great car,but somehow,most has been lost. Thats what I see.Roger
