So is being a wise cracker a part of owning EVs?  At least three of us
have this trait...

Nothing except bolts that were too short replaced when I added my hitch 
(yeah did it myself) as it bolted onto the sides of the frame.  Had to 
bend one heat shield out of the way and then bend it back.

Diverging to the paint - is the golf paint different because it is from 
Mexico instead of Germany pehaps?


Oh and a local dealer has a Vanagon painted up like the Harlequin Golfs 
that they seem to use to shuttle customers and such.  Guess it makes it easy 
to spot in the Metro (subway) parking lots which is where I usually see it.

Least turns is go until you get to Rte 234 Manassas than go South.  Stop 
when you get there.  Alternatively you can go South on 95 and turn North 
when you get to rte 234 Dumfries/Manassas.  This is show is just a few 
minutes from my current house soif you want "shorter" but with more turns 
send me private email...
