Thanks.

I didn’t think that there would be such an outpouring of support for that rant of mine.

Good to see that some people still recognize service employees as people.

I’ve already said, I have been trying to leave for over a year.

I’m “that guy at the dealership”. I work at a VW Dealership in CT, at the service counter.

I didn’t sign up for this shit. It’s not my job to play damage control for VW corporate.

I don’t work for VW. I work for an independently owned and operated franchise dealership that has a contract with VW.

I didn’t do a…

This is genius. If I could somehow incorporate this into my Element so I could make it even more of an ultimate car camping vehicle I would.

That door swings both ways.

A job is just a job. Doesn’t mean the guy wakes up every morning to be possessed by the spirit of the Volkswagen brand. And anyway “some guy at a dealership” is definitely not necessarily in PR.

You seem like the type of “mindset” that purposely misses the trashcan so that a Janitor can pick it up for you....

Corners? Where were going, we don’t need corners.

As cool as this is, if I was ever going to buy a Bimota, it would have to be something with hub steering.

You must be fun at parties.

Dear Ms. Bergquist:

Fuel economy averages stayed flat for decades. It was not until the government mandate that they improved at all. We have full size trucks that get 30MPG now. We have the technology to do this. People choose cars for a variety of reasons - they won’t choose a car because it will help reduce societies chances of…

I never thought there’d come a day when I thought of the VehiCross as tasteful and restrained, but here we are.

Back in 1999 we didn’t think crossovers could get any weirder than the Isuzu VehiCross. Boy were we wrong. If you want an idea of how messed up car styling has become, I’ve had more than one person mistake my 2001 VX as new. And most people would not be able to date it to 2001.

I had to replace that little plastic thing on mine as well. Best part about it was the parts guy at the local stealership was adamant I had to buy the whole shift linkage assembly for $120 vs the actual $2 part I needed. The part number and everything was right there in the damn schematic. I laughed in his face and…

Sure, as long as you’re not on the receiving end of 4 tonnes of Rolls Royce turbofan. That would ruin the barbecue.

I was going to respond blindly but rather than guess, I actually called my dad in Florida to see how he feels. See, his heart blew up a couple few years back and now all the medicine he is on fucks with his equilibrium to the point where he had to sell his bike since he would just suddenly feel like horizontal had…
