folks, don't be fooled by all this ...
it's just another government trick ...
what else happens to be near dulles airport, eh??
that's right!!! the CIA in langley!! just a hop skip and a jump from
herndon!!!!
and what does vw have to do with the CIA? EVERYTHING!!
look at it ...
vw sells cars in many countries. CIA has agents in many countries.
what better cover for an agent than a vw salesperson?!
and free transportation! hide tiny microphones in the sales brochures,
take 'test drives' to converse with local informants (who never
intended to buy the car anyway) ... really hard to record/overhear a
conversation at 60 mph!
trips to other dealers to deliver 'cars' (full of contraband materials
or stolen data files).
it all fits!!!!
for years, vwoa has been helping the CIA spy on Canada, now they're
moving closer to the world headquarters (of the CIA) to begin a new
phase of world domination ... and leaving behind all the non-essential
non-agent personnel!! which only helps to confuse the analysts (like
me) who are watching their every move! oh, they're a sneaky bunch, i
tell ya.
:)
actually, i rather chronical the decline and fall of vwoa from the
point that they moved TO michigan ... they used to be in New Jersey,
where bmw and mercedes were (and i think, still are). after vwoa moved
to detroit, and began to hire ex-chevrolet employees, the quality of
service went very quickly downhill. in my opinion.
maybe this move to virginia will help in that regard. let's hope so.
but for my money, vwoa will have to do something about its dealerships
first. the sales and service folks are terrible at most vw
dealerships. and look at the dealeships themselves ... in my day, vw
dealers were vw-only or vw-porsche-audi or vw-audi. then after the
move to michigan, sales dropped a lot and you started seeing mazda-vw
and dodge-vw and so forth. very few dealers out there now that are vw
only ... and even fewer put the vw first (like vw-saab-subaru). :(
