Let's see..... I was Puerto Rican in Detroit I was Cuban in Key West I was Mexican in the great nation of Texas I'm dark I've been driving VWs since 1970 Do some simple math and you know I've been hassled by the man more than once. Not as many times as Brady (I think they go by shade!) . I was stopped in Mexico a couple of years ago, driving my Syncro SVX AW, doing 85mph. This bad ass, big boy cop was nothing but nastyness, until he thought he recognized my accent and he asked me, 'Where are you from?' 'Argentina,' says I..... 'Ahhhh,' he responds with a big smile, 'from the land of Che?' 'Si, si,' says I. Immediately, he steps back and gestures, 'my land is your land....' and away I go...zoom zoom.
