Yau-Man - Agreed, BUT I worry about VW karma! Me '60 Bug, back in '66 taught me that one NEVER criticizes one's VW within view or earshot of said vehicle! Yelling at, kicking or threatening ALWAYS results in some disaster, MILES away from help. My '62 Kombi, back in the mid-70's, while I was in veterinary school, was MUCH more sensitive about such things.

I've heard rumors about the idiosyncracies of Italian women, but I have never, uh, known one! I did know a Portugese woman, once, and I consider VW vans very similar! They respond best to non-critical SUGGESTIONS!

BOB - WA4RRN '85GL - out-of-town, being repaired at this time!
