I just checked, and www.volksaremad.com is an available domain name.
Someone should make a website with a petition of disloyalty to the
Volkswagen Corporation, in spite of the old cars that we still love.
I'm too busy to do it right now, but I'd chip in for the domain name,
and sign the petition....

Actually, if someone else gets together the money to register the domain
name, maybe I'll make the website...
what do people think?
