Some people will NEVER admit to anything they don't want to believe....It's
not uncommon for a Pilot to make a fatal mistake... like turning right
instead of left on takeoff or landing ... and they fly the whole plane
(family and all) right into the side of a mountain... even thought his
co-pilot is trying to tell him to pull up...Some people will buy the whole
farm just to prove they are right......or keep replacing aluminum heads just
to prove what good engineers VW has?

today's discount.... only $.01 worth (it's the global downsizing of the
price of BS...with Monica's press, the markets is too flooded)
