Jeez! For over a year I've always thought that FLAPS was some VW
specific parts chain that was everywhere in the States, and nowhere in 
Canada! I kept thinking how can a VW specific chain be so wide spread, and
survive. There can't be that many old bugs around. It seemed like
every town of over 500pop had one!
