..... oops, 40, and she wondered why there was so much white smoke!!!

Yep, sitting in the middle of Fellowship Road with 50 mph traffic wizzing
by.  The guy who stopped to let her use a cell and call em, got his car
side swiped for his efforts, and the swipper kept on going.

Want to know what happens to a FWD Scirocco auto when it hammers PARK at 40
mph?  From the sound of it, it chiopped at least one tooth on the
differential if not more.  Terminal, I'm afraid.

Bummer, need a new aauto something VW/Audi/Porsche close to NJ.

Any one got something for sale??
