Subject:Car-Talk and AOL slams the VW bus again..."worst car of the millennium"
Date:Mon, 8 Apr 2002 03:54:12 EDT

here's some of the copy from the "AOL Today" site.. amidst the pic of a
hippied out  mid 60's splitty.  this is NPR's "Car -Talk" radio show's "worst
car of the millennium"  the bus tops out at #10..
i know the Car-Talk retards hate vw buses, but im beginning to think Steve
Case (AOL's CEO) does too....

"If everyone had to own one of these as a first car as I did, there would be
no traffic jams anywhere. At least half of us would be so turned off by the
experience of owning a car, that we would seek alternate means of
transportation."
"There was no heat--unless, that is, the auxiliary gas heater caught fire."
"The flower stickers were the only things that held the car together."
"The bus had no heat, blew over in the wind and used the driver's legs as its
first line of defense in an accident."
"It was a death trap on the highway-you could never go fast enough. The
chances were good that you'd be hit from the rear."
