By contrast, 93% of the panel consider it inappropriate to wave at Jettas and Passats. The entire panel approve of waving to Kubelwagens; however it should be noted that they are not likely to wave back. And if you should run across one of the uncommon Schwimmwagens the correct usage is to bow. -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage," '85 GL "Poor Relation"
