Well, I will admit, once these little airsuckers are in your blood, they never really go away... I haven't worked for the magazines, hence no real immersion into VWs, in close to 5 years. I moved out of VW Central (SoCal) and to a quiter lifestyle in the redwoods of Northern CA. I still have the Polar Silver Oval with the real Rader wheels, IDA's, EMPI steering wheel signed by Joe Vittone and Richard Guarino, Berg Signature shifter, blah blah blah, but that's about it. I sometimes still make an appearance at the Sacramento Bugorama's, and if you still read HotVWs, sometime in the future you may see a Blue Squareback article, written and photographed by a name from the past.... 8=3D) Oh, and Rusty, my diatrible was **NOT** supposed to be against you... if you took it that way, then I most humbly apologise.
