I check out about every VW and Audi that drives past me... the newer VWs
are a little boring to me but the classic pre 93 stuff I certainly check
out.  I have VW owners check me out.  It is quite neet to find that another
Syncro singles you out in a parking lot and parks next to me or as close as
next to as possible.

Waving brings mixed results.  Most people are WAY too serious and don't
wave back.  Sometime I get a decent wave though!
