I have a sticker on my rear window it says FAHVERGNUGEN, so I wondered what it means. June 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Tom and Ray: What is Fahrvergnugen? No one we know has any idea, including one who speaks German. We're beginning to think it's a made-up word and doesn't mean anything. Debbie Ray: Farhvergnugen is the slogan Volkswagen started using in its advertisements a couple of years ago. When we first saw it, we thought it was German for "precipitous decline in U.S. sales." Tom: But after checking with three prominent gastroenterologists and the doorman over at the German Consolate, we've determined that it actually translates to "the pleasure of driving." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Credit: http://cartalk.cars.com/Columns/Archive/1992/June/07.html
